Keldeo¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 72| BF| D

8/1

Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month. Respectable fourth of 8 at Pontefract (5f, good) since. Likely to be in the mix again.

Form: 076-514

Wen Moon³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 70| D

9/2

Ended long losing run at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last November but well held on Ripon return last month. Needs to have come on a lot.

Form: 57651-0

Speeding Bullet¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 69

11/1

Won at Pontefract (6f, good) last summer and ended 2025 with good runner-up efforts at Southwell (6f) and Haydock (5f). Well held on Newcastle reappearance at the beginning of this month, though, and tends to take a few runs to get up to speed.

Hurt You Never¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 69| C| D

12/1

Tasted success 4 times over 5f last year. Signs she's on her way back to form when third of 8 over 5f at Ripon (good) 10 days ago. Considered.

Form: 600-703

Fierce⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 68| D

11/2

Won at Pontefract off 1 lb higher last year and made a solid return to action when third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 6 weeks ago. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 00557-3

(3)

Imperial Guard²¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 67

11/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. His mark has come down as a result but probably best watched on this first outing for 7 months unless the betting speaks in his favour.

Form: 680696-

Blue Lakota⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64| D

7/1

Five-time all-weather winner, the latest at Newcastle (6f) in January. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 41 days ago. Hasn't got near in his 6 turf starts but does have a lower mark in this sphere.

Form: 216342

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 62| BF| D

11/1

Scored at Newcastle in February and has had excuses for a few of his defeats since. Back on that mark he defied at Newcastle. Could go well.

Harry Mole²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Faye McManoman| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 57

Forecasts

Dc Cogent (4/1), Wen Moon (9/2), Fierce (11/2), Imperial Guard (11/2), Blue Lakota (7/1), Keldeo (8/1), Harb (11/1), Speeding Bullet (11/1), Hurt You Never (12/1), Acrisius (12/1), Harry Mole (22/1)

HURT YOU NEVER is back on a good mark and her latest Ripon third suggests she could be ready to strike again. Second choice is Harb who has had excuses for a few of his recent defeats and is back on the mark he won from at Newcastle in February. Keldeo and Fierce are others who should get involved, while Blue Lakota is well treated if he can belatedly translate his all-weather form to turf.
