Son of Wootton Bassett who displayed fair form in turf/all-weather maidens at up to 1¼m for Owen Burrows in 2024. Not seen again until well held in 1½m Kempton novice 19 days ago but should come on for the outing and retains potential now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.

Fair maiden. Visored first time, respectable fifth of 10 in 11f Kempton handicap in February. The cheekpieces return now back on turf. Yet to prove she stays this far.

Two AW wins this year, latterly over 11f at Kempton last month. Equally effective on turf and should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.

Forecasts

Expressionless (11/4), Hibernate (11/4), Johnny Boom (7/2), Alta Rica (18/5), Serviceman (4/1), Sea Of Charm (9/2), Seraphic (5/1)

Verdict

EXPRESSIONLESS shaped well over a shorter trip on his recent Doncaster reappearance and is taken to build on that promise now. Sea of Charm arrives on the back of 2 good runs on the all-weather and is second choice ahead of last week's Pontefract runner-up Johnny Boom.
