Lhebayeb^h⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: H Crouch| T: R J Price| OR: 47| CD

11/4

With hood reapplied, bounced back to winning ways in minor event here 6 days ago, her third C&D success. However, it remains to be seen if the headgear will have the same effect this time around.

Form: 5-73591

Angel's Call¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 47| C

33/1

Made more impact than previously last year when third of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) in September. Went backwards from that effort in his 2 subsequent outings, though, well held at Southwell (1m) when last seen in November.

Form: 067380-

Bizarre Law^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 50| C

12/1

Winner here in May last year, but form went the wrong way to end the campaign and, following a breathing operation, again failed to beat a rival in 11-runner handicap over C&D 17 days ago.

Form: 35700-0

Darla's Secret^p1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 45

66/1

Without a win in 15 starts but made the placings for the first time when third in 7f handicap at Southwell last month. Down the field in this grade both starts since, though. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 66-5370

Desiderata¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: T Faulkner| OR: 49| CD

2/1

Returned to this grade, placed for the fourth start in a row when narrowly denied here (9.5f) on penultimate outing. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (1½m) 2 weeks ago but he's respected at this level, though needs things to drop right given his slow-starting ways.

Form: 423226

Fullofbrightideas⁹⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Gina Mangan| T: S Lycett| OR: 55

125/1

Offered little in 4 starts back in 2023, last of 6 in nursery at Kempton (1m) on final outing. Has been absent since (gelded) ahead of first run since leaving Clare Ellam.

Form: 7006/

Nutcracker¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 43

33/1

Still looking for a first victory and hasn't fared any better in minor events this year, again slowly away when seventh of 11 at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago

Form: 574-977

(10)

Pure Theory^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 49

9/1

Remains a maiden but shaped encouragingly on stable debut when fourth of 13 in a Lingfield handicap (1¼m) in December. Hasn't kicked on this year, sixth of 8 at Chelmsford 18 days ago, but she's one to note dropped in grade/trip.

Form: 64-4546

(4)

Resilient Lady^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: G Brown| OR: 47

12/1

No better than mid-field this year, though raced too freely in first-time blinkers when sixth of 9 in minor event at this course (9.5f) 3 weeks ago. Drops back in trip with first-time cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Form: 08-6656

(3)

Sold Out¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: J Mackie| OR: 50

4/1

Off the mark when making all in minor event at Newcastle (1m) last month and not disgraced in handicap company both starts since, fourth of 5 back at Newcastle 10 days ago. Major player returned to this level.

Form: 6-54144

(7)

United Force⁶⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: C Hobson| OR: 43

28/1

Without a win in 2025. Offered a bit more when fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in January, though went with little fluency so others are still more persuasive.

Form: 37670-4

(8)

Will Be King^t⁹²²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: J C McConnell| OR: 44

18/1

Fair performer at best but his form declined in 2022. Ran to just a poor level when sixth of 25 in handicap at Cork (7f) on second of 2 starts in 2023 and absent since. Tongue strap refitted for his belated return.

Form: 000006/

Forecasts

Desiderata (2/1), Lhebayeb (11/4), Sold Out (4/1), Pure Theory (9/1), Resilient Lady (12/1), Bizarre Law (12/1), Will Be King (18/1), United Force (28/1), Nutcracker (33/1), Angel's Call (33/1), Darla's Secret (66/1), Fullofbrightideas (125/1)

SOLD OUT made his second start in this grade a winning one at Newcastle last month and, having not been discredited in handicaps the last twice, he is taken to double his tally. Desiderata also returns to 0-50 company and could be the main danger, ahead of Pure Theory.
