Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Chad Bament⁽⁷⁾| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 98

7/2

Twice a winner last season and left behind a couple of lacklustre displays when opening her account for the season with victory in a steadily-run mares handicap at Stratford (16.3f) last month. Drops in grade and should give another good account taking on the boys.

Form: 241-981

Voix De Bocelli¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-10| J: Brendan Powell| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 94

12/1

Fair winner at 10f on Flat but has lost his form of late, faring no better back over hurdles when fourth of 7 in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Will need to improve to get off the mark in this sphere.

Form: 46376-4

Taritino³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: J Tickle| OR: 92

9/2

Fair winner on the Flat and opened hurdles account when making all at Taunton (16.5f) in April and remained in fine heart over hurdles subsequently. Disappointed upped in trip on the Flat last month but no surprise to see him closer to form back over hurdles with conditions to suit.

Form: F5313-2

Western Soldier²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins| OR: 89

9/1

Matched best form over hurdles when second at Newton Abbot (16.8f) on final start for Joe Tizzard last year and made a pleasing enough comeback following 17 months off when fourth in a 12-runner handicap on stable debut at Stratford last month. Player if he can build on that.

Form: 6P7/P2-4

Spuddling¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Kimber| T: Kathy Turner| OR: 100

11/4

Modest 11.5f Flat winner who posted his best effort over hurdles when third on qualifying run at Warwick (16f, good) 16 days ago. That form is working out well and he's one to be interested in receiving plenty of weight from his elders on handicap debut.

Form: 353

Mancero^t,p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 95| D

22/1

Made winning debut in a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau (15f, soft) in April but nowhere near that level in three starts for new yard, faring no better on first start following wind surgery when well beaten on handicap debut at Uttoxeter 20 days ago. Remains to be seen if headgear does the trick.

Form: 1-2P6

Mr Zee^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Rex Dingle| T: M Blake| OR: 78

14/1

Multiple Flat winner who made it thirteenth time lucky in this sphere at Taunton (2m, good) in March. Should be fit following a pipe-opener on the Flat last month and he can be competitive off this mark on hurdles return.

Form: 44313-7

Banksman¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: M Goldstein| T: Miss S West| OR: 90

16/1

Modest Flat winner at up to 1m for Jack Channon. Showed more on qualifying run when fifth in a 14-runner juvenile hurdle at Warwick earlier this month (Spuddling finishing third in the same race). That's solid form and he could progress in receipt of a handy 3-y-o allowance on handicap debut.

Form: P35

Prince Rhinegold^p1¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Houlihan| T: Miss L Blackford| OR: 73

7/1

Sole success came in a novice on heavy ground back in February 2023 but has been below form in handicaps of late, well out of the handicap when tenth in a 17-runner handicap at Exeter on return earlier this month. Will need to improve back on sounder surface with cheekpieces on first time.

Forecasts

Spuddling (11/4), Getmetothemoon (7/2), Taritino (9/2), Prince Rhinegold (7/1), Western Soldier (9/1), Thankyouandplease (10/1), Voix De Bocelli (12/1), Mr Zee (14/1), Banksman (16/1), Mancero (22/1)

Having finished third in a juvenile hurdle that has already produced a couple of next time out winners, 3-y-o handicap debutant SPUDDLING gets the vote ahead of Banksman, who finished two places behind him in the same race at Warwick. Western Soldier appeals most of the older horses, having made a pleasing comeback at Stratford last month.
