10/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 9/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, late headway before meeting some trouble again close home. Run style requires plenty to drop right but seems in good heart at present.

25/1

Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, encouraging fourth of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good to soft). Still lightly raced on Flat and could have more to offer if ready after 138 days off.

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 12 months prior to finishing sixth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 3/1) 77 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with potential if sharper this time.

Forecasts

Golspie (7/2), Showstorm (7/2), Dingwall (11/2), Bearwith (11/2), Word Of Mouth (7/1), King Chaos (10/1), Prince Achille (11/1), Sea Legend (14/1), Nakatomi (20/1), Star Cast (22/1), Blackwater Lilly (25/1), Galileo's Compass (50/1)

PRINCE ACHILLE was unlucky not to make it back-to-back course successes last time and Jedd O'Keeffe's gelding makes most appeal. Dingwall didn't help himself by failing to settle at Chelmsford last time but posted another good effort and is respected again, with Bearwith also considered dropping back into a 0-70.
