Change Of Fortune^p¹²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 50| BF

12/1

Modest gelding. Disappointed when fourth of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, heavy, 9/4). Off 124 days. Cheekpieces refitted and good claims if bouncing back.

Form: 144334-

First Encounter^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J Gallagher| OR: 48

9/2

Modest gelding who was a bit better than the result suggests when sixth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2724-86

Lhebayeb¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R J Price| OR: 50| CD

9/2

Modest mare. C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. 14/1, too free when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Expected to be bang there if bouncing back to form.

Form: 04395-7

Port Noir^t³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: R Stephens| OR: 44| CD

15/2

6-time course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 16/1) 35 days ago. Others more appealing.

Saint Terry⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 44

80/1

Poor gelding. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 66/1) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

Form: 4570-77

(10)

Star Of St Louis¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: Wayne Lukas| OR: 46| CD

22/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 11 in minor event at this course (9.5f) 11 days ago, caught wide. This will reveal more about how much ability remains.

Form: 6541/5-8

Arlecchino's Rex¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45| C

Form: 0949-96

Platinum Babe¹⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 44

28/1

Poor maiden. 16/1, last of 6 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm). Off 179 days. Makes tapeta debut. Improvement needed.

Form: 09646-

Forecasts

Arlecchino's Rex (11/4), Bossy Parker (3/1), First Encounter (9/2), Lhebayeb (9/2), Port Noir (15/2), Change Of Fortune (12/1), Star Of St Louis (22/1), Platinum Babe (28/1), Invincible Storm (50/1), Saint Terry (80/1)

LHEBAYEB isn't the most reliable but she should be bang there at the finish if producing one of her better efforts in this sort of company. First Encounter raced a bit closer to the pace than ideal on his most recent outing and shouldn't be taken lightly, while Change of Fortune is likely to have a say if getting back on track after a break.
