Superfortress³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70

11/4

Sent off 100/1 but showed plenty to work on when second of 8 in 1¼m novice at Newcastle on debut in October. Went backwards at Redcar later that month but confirmed his debut effort no fluke when second in a C&D maiden on reappearance. Into handicaps now and should have more to offer.

Form: 24-2

Marry The Night^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| BF| CD

3/1

Thriving in recent months, recording a fourth C&D win in March. Has run two solid races in defeat subsequently and seems sure to give another good account.

Form: 151132

Plutarch¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Megan Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 68

33/1

Yet to build on an encouraging debut but might have needed the run after 4 months off when beating only one home in 1¼m novice at Nottingham on recent return and should have more chance now handicapping.

Form: 48-8

(7)

King Of York^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 67| C

8/1

Gained a deserved success here (7f) in February. Mixed record since, albeit not seen to best effect back on turf at Doncaster on latest start, having been poorly drawn.

Form: 212650

Iconic Times⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 67

17/2

Quickly returned to form when third of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) last month. Subsequently sold out of Heather Main's yard for 13,000 gns.

Form: 58-8353

(6)

Soames Forsyte^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 66| CD

10/1

Unreliable type who bounced back from a spell in the doldrums to spring a surprise over C&D in January. Quirks in evidence again since but wasn't ideally placed on his most recent outing.

Form: 7-81845

(10)

Age Of Baroque³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 66| C

12/1

C&D winner for Marco Botti last summer. Posted a respectable third back at this venue (1m) in March but wasn't in the same form at Wolverhampton 10 days later.

Form: 589-839

Avatar Jet²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 63| D

7/1

Bagged a 1m Killarney handicap for Mark Fahey in July 2024 and largely acquitted himself well later that year. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests (did too much too soon) at Doncaster on comeback for new yard last month and well worth another chance back down in trip.

Form: 04443/0

Goldie Trickett^h1¹⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 63

9/1

A notably expensive yearling but looked nothing out of the ordinary in 4 runs for William Haggas last season, including on handicap debut on final outing. Hood fitted for reappearance/stable bow.

Form: 7435-

Johnjay^h,t1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 56| D

25/1

Dual 1m winner for Roger Teal but failed to come on for his reappearance/stable debut prior to showing some aptitude for hurdling at Taunton. Tongue strap goes on.

Form: 5366-85

Forecasts

Superfortress (11/4), Marry The Night (3/1), Avatar Jet (7/1), King Of York (8/1), Iconic Times (17/2), Goldie Trickett (9/1), Soames Forsyte (10/1), Age Of Baroque (12/1), Give Me The Night (16/1), Johnjay (25/1), Plutarch (33/1)

AVATAR JET shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on last month's comeback at Doncaster and is well worth another chance back down in trip from an attractive mark based on his past exploits. Marry The Night has been thriving and seems sure to go well again, with handicap-debutant Superfortress completing the shortlist.
