Four-time winner in 2025 and, though below par at Southwell when last seen in January, she won't be far away if raring to go following a break of almost 4 months.

Yet to add to 2-y-o Wolverhampton maiden success but has made the frame all 3 starts since undergoing a breathing operation, finding just one too good over 1m at Kempton the last twice. Well worth another try at this trip.

Plenty of promise last year but yet to fire since returning from a break and others make more appeal.

Landed back-to-back turf handicaps here upon joining Denis Quinn last year. Ended time with that yard on a bit of a downer but good third starting out for Adam Kirby last month and he's one to consider with eyeshields enlisted.

Gained second win of the year when scoring at Newcastle last summer but more miss than hit since and others look stronger.

Came good at the sixteenth attempt when leading close home in a C&D handicap in February. Out with the washing at Nottingham recently but the limited evidence available suggests that he's simply not effective on turf.

Showed promise in maiden/novice company initially but it's been a struggle since switched to handicaps.

Placed on a few occasions after joining this yard last season, including when third in a 10-runner handicap over this trip at Redcar on latest appearance in October. Now 0-19 but not without each-way hope.

Successful once during a 12-race campaign on all-weather/turf in France last year. 9-month absence is a concern ahead of this yard debut and he's probably worth taking on.

Finished third for the fourth successive race over 1½m here in February but nearer last than first at Kempton next time. Struggled over hurdles on his latest start and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Joseph (10/3), Criminal (7/2), Romantic Spirit (5/1), Penfolds Grange (11/2), Hello Cotai (6/1), Etretat (11/1), Lenny's Spirit (14/1), Blue Wonder (16/1), Onslow Gardens (22/1), Voix De Bocelli (33/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to PENFOLDS GRANGE, who has been knocking on the door of late and the return to this trip could be a good move. Lenny's Spirit made a positive start for this yard when a close third over C&D last month and he is feared most ahead of Romantic Spirit.

  2. Lenny's Spirit14/1
  3. Romantic Spirit5/1
