Law Supreme^p,t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70

7/2

Enjoyed a productive all-weather campaign before winning at Bath13 days ago, his 3rd success in last 4 starts. Back up in trip and, though up another 3 lb, he remains well treated on past form.

Form: 741121

Dream Pirate^b⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: T Kent| OR: 68| CD

14/1

Course winner, who highlighted his current wellbeing when registering his first all-weather success at Lingfield in January (by short head from Woodstock City). That win proved his stamina for this trip and he should remain competitive up just 2 lb.

Form: 31854-1

Caph Star^h,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: M G Rimell| OR: 68| D

13/2

Kempton winner on second of his 2 starts for Roger Varian in 2022. Clearly had his share of problems since, though took a step back in right direction when 2¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Havana Touch there last time. Step up in trip should be within his reach on pedigree.

Form: 31/0-85

Joseph^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 67| D

18/1

Came good at the sixteenth attempt when leading close home over 1¼m at Lingfield in February. Ran at least as well in defeat when a length second of 7 to Seraphic at Kempton last time. Needs to prove his effectiveness on turf, however.

Form: 725-412

Show Biz Kid^b¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 67| D

17/2

Inconsistent performer who won at Yarmouth around this time last year but looked to turn it in when last seen at Southwell in December. Has something to prove on return from 127-day absence.

Form: 250847-

Wood Whisperer^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 67

8/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who showed fair form for Paul Attwater last year and has had excuses on both outings this season. Not seen to best effect at Kempton and then racing too freely at Southwell 16 days ago. Not without claims if able to settle better back on turf.

Form: 8657-65

Bearwith²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes| T: H Bethell| OR: 67| BF| D

14/1

Won at Newcastle in February but has run disappointingly twice since, failing to settle back on turf at Doncaster last time. Has tricky draw to overcome here, however.

Form: 8-53180

Volto Di Medusa^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: Jack Jones| OR: 66

28/1

Won at Southwell and has been shaping up well on the all-weather over the winter period prior to blowing his chance at the start at Thirsk 8 days ago. Draw is less than ideal but could get this run to suit and apprentice takes off 7 lb. Cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form: 666-350

Boubyan^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| D

10/1

Patchy form since joining this yard but returned to form to win a muddling event over 1¼m at Newcastle in March. Met trouble in running when below form last time and very much respected under good-value claimer.

Form: 5-67159

(9)

In The Post^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 65

10/1

Showed a fair level of ability when placed 3 times in 2025 and shaped as if better for the run when 7½ lengths sixth of 11 to Law Supreme in handicap at Bath on return from 6-month absence. Should stay this trip and wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 3237-6

Star Start²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61| D

11/1

Won amateurs events at Beverley and Pontefract last summer and typically shaped as if better for the run at Doncaster on return from 6-month absence in January. He's on a competitive mark if ready to go on back of that effort.

Form: 12F26-9

(13)

Bay Dream Believer^h²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate| T: M Walford| OR: 61| D

25/1

Seems more straightforward nowadays and probably finished last year in better heart than form figures suggest. Looked very rusty when below form at Doncaster on return but should strip fitter for that outing and has dropped to last winning mark. Yard enjoyed a treble at Ripon on Thursday.

Form: 76259-0

Wicklow Way³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: M Walford| OR: 54| D

9/1

Took advantage of the drop into classified company when winning at Newcastle last month. Enough about that performance to suggest he ought to remain competitive back in handicap company.
