Em Four⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 74| BF

6/4

Resumed winning ways at Kempton in March and quickly dispelled a slightly lesser effort when length third of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f) 8 days ago. Fully expected to give another good account on a rare go at the minimum trip.

Form: 735143

Binadham^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 74| D

4/1

Yet to add to his debut success as a juvenile but stepped up on recent run when posting a creditable third in a C&D handicap 32 days ago, no extra only late on. Cheekpieces now reached for and he's clearly up to landing a race of this nature from this sort of mark.

Form: 6342-63

(3)

Diomed Spirit^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Olivia Haines⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 74| CD

13/2

Ended a losing run at Lingfield (5f) in November but form has been distinctly mixed since, failing to beat a rival on his last 2 starts. Cheekpieces now reached for and others preferred.

Form: 15-3556

Smooth Silesie^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: L Williamson| OR: 74| D

25/1

Four 5f wins in a productive 2025 but she failed to come on for her C&D reappearance in refitted blinkers at Southwell (5f) 2 weeks ago. Remains 4 lb above last successful mark.

Form: 4371-68

(4)

Shalaa Asker^t,p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 68| CD

4/1

Has an excellent record under Rob Hornby and comes here in good heart, unlucky not to add to his tally having had to briefly wait to get in the clear over C&D 17 days ago. Expected to be firmly in the mix again.

Form: 311522

(5)

Midnight Call¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Joanna Mason| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| CD

11/2

Free-going sort who has had a good time of things on all-weather, ridden with a little more restraint when registering a third C&D success 12 days ago, well on top finish. 9 lb rise demands more up in class, however.

Form: 311551

(7)

Phoenix Beach^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 57| CD

8/1

Four-time C&D winner has dropped to a handy mark and posted a good third here on penultimate start, despite meeting with trouble in running. However, took strong hold and failed to build on that back here 17 days ago.

Form: 7-93935

Forecasts

Shalaa Asker (11/4), Em Four (3/1), Midnight Call (10/3), Binadham (7/2), Phoenix Beach (10/1), Diomed Spirit (20/1), Smooth Silesie (25/1)

BINADHAM's losing run tempers enthusiasm to a degree but he arrives having posted a solid third over C&D 32 days ago and it's surely only a matter of time before he capitalises on his much-reduced mark. Shalaa Asker looked an unlucky loser here latest and commands consideration. Em Four completes the shortlist.
