Mr Zippi⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jonny Peate| T: Sara Ender| OR: 63| D

11/4

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (17/2) at Southwell (14.1f) 8 days ago. Up 6 lb, but he's clearly at the top of his game and has to be respected in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 620911

Moon Over The Sea²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| CD

11/2

5-time course winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Winner of this race 12 months ago and likely to make a bold bid to repeat the dose this time round.

Form: 166483

Three On Thursday¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

7/2

10/3, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago. Back up in trip for this tapeta debut and, like stablemate Moon Over The Sea, she has to enter calculations.

Form: 525351

Guinness Lad^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 54

12/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 25/1) 26 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip and capable of a bold show off this reduced mark if on-song, but his best form so far has been on turf.

Form: 962208

Sisterandbrother⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S A Harris| OR: 52| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 16/1) 9 days ago. Others make more appeal form a win point of view.

Form: 656548

Starfighter²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 51| CD

18/1

Four-time C&D winner. 28/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. This 9-y-o continues to look vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 647957

Nekazari^t,p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 55| BF

14/1

Tongue strap on, first run since leaving A. Fabre when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 2/1) on UK debut 25 days ago. Back up in trip and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 0-0078

Krissy¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 51

6/1

Winner at Newcastle in November. 4/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and she's in with an each-way shout.

Form: 5PP812

(4)

Virtual Hug^t⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 50| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Hereford (19.7f, good) 54 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was respectable, but it's likely that he'll find one or two too good. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 757325

Grand Harbour^p¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 54| BF

50/1

5/2 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f). Off 119 days ahead of this yard/tapeta debut and cheekpieces refitted.

Forecasts

Mr Zippi (11/4), Three On Thursday (7/2), Sisterandbrother (5/1), Moon Over The Sea (11/2), Krissy (6/1), Guinness Lad (12/1), Nekazari (14/1), Starfighter (18/1), Bloodhound (20/1), Virtual Hug (25/1), Grand Harbour (50/1)

It could be a 1-2 for the Tony Carroll yard, with THREE ON THURSDAY taken to get the better of last year's winner Moon Over The Sea. The way the selection went about her business at Lingfield suggested that moving back up to this trip would, if anything, be in her favour and she remains on a plausible mark following a 4 lb rise. Moon Over The Sea is 2 lb lower than when registering the latest of his five wins here in March, while the hat-trick seeking Mr Zippi and Krissy are also key players.
