Lexington Express^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 63| CD

16/5

Got off the mark in a handicap over C&D 11 days ago but was seen to maximum effect. Up 8 lb for that wide-margin success and not sure to find circumstances so favourable this time.

Form: 344-351

Amazing Anita^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 60

7/2

Improved when third of 8 trying first-time cheekpieces in a handicap at Southwell in March. That race is working out well and she looks sure to be in the mix once more for stable in fine form.

Form: 7894-3

Karakula Dancer^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 59| BF

6/4

Taken from up a notch this year, winning 2 of his last 5 starts. Shaped better than the bare result when third of 10 in a handicap over C&D 19 days ago and holds strong claims from same mark.

Form: 6-12123

Zoustellar^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 57

4/1

First signs of promise when fourth of 9 up in trip at Newcastle 14 days ago, not getting clear run but staying on well. Still early days with her and she should prove up to winning a similar event before too long.

Form: 789-64

Panthere Noir^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 53

18/1

Hasn't shown a great deal since returning from a gelding operation, though wasn't seen to best effect in first-time blinkers last time. Cheekpieces back on and steps up in trip but looks to have plenty to find with more-progressive rivals.

Form: 3753-86

Forecasts

Karakula Dancer (6/4), Lexington Express (16/5), Amazing Anita (7/2), Zoustellar (4/1), Raspoutine (14/1), Panthere Noir (18/1)

KARAKULA DANCER has won twice from his last 5 handicap starts and shaped better than the bare result when third over C&D 19 days ago, so he looks the way to go. Zoustellar, who was unlucky when denied a clear run at Newcastle last time, and Amazing Anita, whose reappearance run is working out well, can prove the biggest dangers.
