All Moonshine¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

2/1

Confirmed debut promise to win a 7f novice at Southwell (9/2) 15 days ago, asserting in good style despite showing greenness. Penalised but open to further improvement with just two runs under her belt.

Form: 31-

Counting Cards^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 75| BF

3/1

Lightly-raced gelding who showed promise with two second-place finishes, including when returning from a breathing operation at Southwell. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5/2) 23 days ago, not settling and weakening in the final furlong. May do better returning to novice company.

Form: 742/27-

Hammal³⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Young

66/1

Modest form when sixth of 10 in a novice at this C&D (7/1) in December 2024, slowly away but made late headway. Subsequently sold from Stuart Williams £1,400 in January 2025 and missed that season. Best watched.

Form: 6/

Oceans Five³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: B J Meehan

7/2

Proved a different proposition from sole 2-y-o start (off 14 months) when third of 10 at Chelmsford City (4/1), no extra only late on. Has plenty about him physically and can do better again.

Form: 9/3-

Splinterwood¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

50/1

Showed only greenness on racecourse debut when seventh of 8 in novice stakes at Southwell (20/1) 15 days ago. Needs to show significant improvement from that initial effort.

Form: 7-

Thequietman^h¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73

4/1

Lightly-raced gelding placed in three of five starts, ran on for third of 8 behind All Moonshine in novice stakes at Southwell (4/1) on yard debut 15 days ago in first-time hood. 7 lb better off with the winner here.

Form: 2502/3-

They All Know Me²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

3/1

Lightly-raced gelding placed in all five starts including third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10/1) 23 days ago, finishing well but left with too much to do. Good chance back in a novice.

Form: 32233-

Miss Helena²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman| T: M Mullineaux

Tailed off all 3 starts, first 2 in bumpers.

Forecasts

All Moonshine (9/4), Counting Cards (7/2), They All Know Me (7/2), Oceans Five (4/1), Thequietman (9/2), Splinterwood (50/1), Hammal (66/1), Miss Helena (250/1)

ALL MOONSHINE showed much improved form when winning assertively at Southwell 2 weeks ago and remains open to improvement after just 2 starts. Oceans Five shaped well when third at Chelmsford after a 14-month absence and has plenty about him physically. Counting Cards and They All Know Me should also make their presence felt.
