Star Walking^t³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Rian Corcoran⁽⁵⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 122| D

11/4

Better than ever when successful at Kempton on the back of a breathing operation in December, though she was found to have a breathing problem when pulled up on return from 12 weeks off at Kelso last time and comes with risks as a betting proposition.

Form: 846-21P

Kilworth²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Cobden| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 109| D

15/8

Successful pointer bounced back to make it 2 wins from 3 starts in handicaps at Ascot last time and this unexposed mare may be able to defy a 7 lb rise.

Form: F371P1

Slim Marvel²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Toby McCain-Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 104

10/3

On a long losing run and she couldn't build on a promising second start for her new yard when well beaten at Bangor last time. Does at least benefit from a return to mares company, though.

Form: F57527

Roaring Home²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: H D Daly| OR: 101

10/3

Hit the frame here earlier in the season and while her finishing effort left something to be desired when fourth of 7 at Bangor (2½m) on latest start, she has previously shaped as though this longer trip will suit. Could be worth another chance.

Forecasts

Kilworth (15/8), Star Walking (11/4), Roaring Home (10/3), Slim Marvel (10/3), Hard Dealt (9/2), I Spy A Diva (6/1), Love Me (13/2)

Hard to totally discount any of these, but the form of KILWORTH's Ascot success should prove solid, and she's fancied to make it 3 wins from 4 starts in handicaps. Roaring Home is likely worth another chance returning to this track over a longer trip, with recent C&D third Love Me another to consider.
