7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, third of 6 in maiden at this course (7f) 38 days ago. Up in trip for handicap debut and unexposed sort could go well.

Form: 063

King Of Speed^t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Miss Hope Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59| CD

9/1

Four-time C&D winner, the latest in December. Respectable efforts here on first 3 starts this year and might be worth forgiving a lesser effort on turf at Doncaster last weekend.

Form: 51-3640

Lessay^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: C Horgan| T: P Morris| OR: 59| C

9/1

Being kept busy this year but generally on the downgrade, including last of 11 at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago. More chance back in this grade but others are still preferred.

Form: 367450

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: Roger Fell| OR: 58| CD

Back to winning ways in C&D handicap on Saturday under this rider. Must be respected if turned out again quickly under a penalty.

River Wharfe^b²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| CD

16/1

C&D winner last autumn and added to his tally at Southwell (7f) last month. Caught too far back when eighth of 11 over C&D last time and treated as if still in form.

Form: 823718

Simba's Gift¹⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁵⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 57

Prince Ali⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Zoe Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: T Faulkner| OR: 53| CD

18/1

Four-time course winner but hasn't fired in his 3 outings this year. A short break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Form: 409-787

Forecasts

Coloane (11/10), The Ubermensch (7/2), Simba's Gift (6/1), King Of Speed (9/1), Lessay (9/1), River Wharfe (16/1), Prince Ali (18/1), Lasswade (20/1)

It might be worth siding with unexposed Michael Bell handicap newcomer THE UBERMENSCH. King of Speed and River Wharfe are both well capable at this level around here, while Coloane would also need considering if turning out again quickly.
