9/2

Resumed winning ways in 6f handicap at Kempton in April but beat only one at Nottingham (5f) 12 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track returned to all-weather with a tongue strap refitted.

Spirit Of Jenny²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 65

5/1

Low-mileage filly who resumed from 6 months off with a very good second of 9 in 7f handicap here 23 days ago, up with a strong pace throughout. She's a player nudged up 1lb in her bid for a breakthrough victory.

Form: 42378-2

Style King^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 63| D

2/1

Bounced back to his best when second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago. Winner has gone in again since so he's very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Form: 7186-92

7/2

Placed 3 times at Dundalk at the turn of the year for Michael Mulvany. Yet to fire for his current yard though, tried in cheekpieces when ninth of 10 over 7f here last time. Visor is reached for now.

9/2

Ended a losing run over C&D in February but yet to prove he's as effective on turf and just fifteenth of 17 at Thirsk (6f) 12 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

18/1

Gained a first success since 2024 (in a headgear change) when making all in 17-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) 12 days ago. Needs to back it up now from a 6 lb higher mark.

A two-time winner early last summer but she's yet to fire in 3 runs this season, last of 8 in 7f classified event here last time.

Form: 088-868

Forecasts

Style King (2/1), Velvet Skies (7/2), Initial Blue (9/2), What What What (9/2), Spirit Of Jenny (5/1), Eldeyaar (18/1), Anificas Beauty (40/1)

Steph Hollinshead's low-mileage filly SPIRIT OF JENNY signalled she is ready to score when runner-up here on return and can edge out Style King, who rates a big threat on the back of a resurgent Wolverhampton second. Initial Blue and What What What can't be discounted either now back on an artificial surface.
