Arctic Dawn^p⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 84| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) 9 days ago, well positioned. Serious chance under a penalty.

Form: 167151

Wild Nature²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 86| C

6/1

Course winner. 14/1, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Opposable.

Form: 021-899

Kolsai³⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 85| D

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 14 in handicap at Sha Tin (8f). Off 12 months ahead of this polytrack/stable debut and probably best watched on this occasion.

Huscal²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 85

17/2

4/1, good fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Clearly up to winning off this sort of mark and should be in the thick of things, provided he doesn't again give himself too much to do.

Form: 042825

Warrior Mode¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 85| D

13/2

Lightly-raced winner. 14/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and it wouldn't be a great surprise to see this unexposed colt get back on track.

Form: 1438

Best Rate^b1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 84| D

14/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 28 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and will be a threat if responding well to the new headgear.

Form: 442393

Metaverse^h²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: D Menuisier| OR: 82| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 28 days ago. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 710090

(7)

Follow Your Heart^t²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 81| CD

28/1

Three wins from 11 runs this year. 18/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, having run of race. Others make more appeal from a win point of view this time.

Form: 751306

(9)

Jewelry^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: W J Haggas| OR: 82

22/1

Hooded for 1st time, good fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, 40/1) 23 days ago. Down another 2 lb and she's in good hands, but improvement will be needed back at 7f if she's to open her account.

Form: 18-3975

(10)

Echalar¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Davies| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 82

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (7f, heavy) 12 days ago, but he's interesting judged on what he showed as a 2-y-o.

Form: 633-0

(4)

Longlai²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: George Baker| OR: 80| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 28 days ago and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 473007

(3)

Midnight's Dream³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 77| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 7/1) 30 days ago, slowly away. On a workable mark and he needs considering.

Form: 516278

(14)

Shiplake^h⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy| OR: 76

15/2

7/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 58 days ago. Gelded ahead of this debut for new yard and he's one to consider. Hood refitted.

Form: 1-22743

(8)

Port Road⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 75| CWS

25/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (8f, 18/1) 77 days ago, better placed than most. 2 lb nudge looks about right, but this will take more winning. Has undergone a wind op.

Form: 583351

Forecasts

Arctic Dawn (9/2), Wild Nature (6/1), Longlai (6/1), Warrior Mode (13/2), Shiplake (15/2), Midnight's Dream (8/1), Huscal (17/2), Kolsai (12/1), Best Rate (14/1), Jewelry (22/1), Metaverse (25/1), Port Road (25/1), Echalar (28/1), Follow Your Heart (28/1)

Several to consider in this competitive handicap with HUSCAL shading preference ahead of decisive recent Newcastle winner Arctic Dawn. The selection has shaped better than the bare result over this C&D the last twice, leaving the impression that his turn is near. Arctic Dawn did the job well at Newcastle last week and won't go down without a fight, while Midnight's Dream is third choice. Best Rate, Metaverse and Shiplake are all live each-way candidates.
