Woolridge^p⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 65

17/2

Maiden but 3 runner-up finishes in last 4 starts, most recently in a handicap at Dundalk (10/1) in January, though looked awkward. First run for new connections (sold from Andrew Oliver 13,000 gns in February).

Form: 46242-2

Basholo²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: T Culhane & S Barclay| OR: 63| CD

14/1

Bagged a sixth C&D success in November but below par since, eighth of 9 over C&D (25/1) 21 days ago, held up and never a threat.

Form: 101-548

(8)

Gustav Graves³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR: 61| CD

13/2

Seven-time C&D winner, including in December. Easy to forgive last 2 starts but needs things to drop right given his hold-up style.

Form: 446564

Spendmore Lane^e/s⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 61| D

3/1

Finally got off the mark at Chelmsford (3/1) 9 days ago, travelling more efficiently back down in trip. Can remain competitive up 5 lb.

Form: 76-3431

(7)

Phoenix Beach^p1³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 60| CD

9/2

Four-time C&D winner but operating below best of late, third of 7 here (6/1) 3 days ago. First-time headgear applied.

Form: 5747-93

Valsharah^h1²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

9/1

Long-standing maiden who made an inauspicious start for new connections when beating only one home after refusing to settle at Southwell on return last month. Temperamental but worth a try at this trip at least. Hood applied.

Form: 27368-0

Papa Don't Preach^b¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K Frost| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Gained reward for run of in-frame efforts when winning C&D handicap in December. Has shaped as though still in good heart both starts since, though wide draw might not be ideal for one that can race freely.

Form: 3341-53

Sonic Si¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

7/1

Made only one appearance in 2025 and all the better for belated return for new yard when close fourth of 8 here (6f) 2 weeks ago, losing third dying strides having raced freely. Entitled to come on again back at 5f.

Form: 565/7-74

Forever Noah⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 57| BF

5/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in February and good placed efforts over C&D and at Southwell next 2 starts. Has to be taken seriously once again.

Form: 7-32123

Forecasts

Spendmore Lane (3/1), Phoenix Beach (9/2), Forever Noah (5/1), Gustav Graves (13/2), Sonic Si (7/1), Woolridge (17/2), Valsharah (9/1), Basholo (14/1), Papa Don't Preach (16/1)

It could be worth chancing SONIC SI, who proved he retains his ability on his second start back from an absence when fourth over 6f here 2 weeks ago and is now back at his optimum trip. In-form pair Forever Noah and Spendmore Lane head the dangers.
