Primo Lara^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: Jack Morland| OR: 75| D

13/2

Won twice over this trip in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Not so good since, not offering a great deal on return from a 6-month absence/breathing operation at Wolverhampton. Cheekpieces back on and has first go in a 0-75 now.

Form: 56769-9

Celestias Comet¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ross Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 73

13/2

Landed the odds in a 5-runner Southwell novice (1m) in September. Back on track on just her second start in a handicap when sixth at Kempton last time, making up a decent amount of ground fairly quickly. Could step forward with that under her belt back up in trip/on turf.

Form: 2210-66

Dancing Tiger^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R A Teal| OR: 72| D

3/1

Won 14-runner apprentice handicap at Doncaster in March on return (well positioned) and ran creditably after 4 lb rise at Kempton. Going to need a bit more.

Form: 2134-16

Oman¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| D

3/1

Landed a gamble at Wolverhampton in December and mostly creditable efforts since, including in a warm apprentice handicap at Chester recently. Not dismissed back in trip.

Form: 51-2278

(2)

King's Hand^h⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: J Parr| OR: 69| D

9/2

Won on the polytrack here on final start for Sir Mark Prescott in January. Shaped as if still in form when fourth of 8 over a slightly longer trip at Kempton last time, racing freely. Merits consideration on rare start on turf.

Form: 5-73124

(4)

Premier¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: W Greatrex| OR: 69WS

9/1

Has been in good order over hurdles, winning at Taunton in December. On a fair mark back on the level after a breathing operation and one to note.

Form: 1/53348-

Bobacious¹⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 66| D

16/1

Won twice over this trip last summer for Ed Dunlop. Well held in 2 runs on the polytrack here for Nigel Hawke at the end of last year and has moved yards again since. First start for 5 months and the betting may guide.

Form: 269776-

Panama Black^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carson| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 63

18/1

Been ticking over on the all-weather (raced freely starting out for new yard here last time). Lower turf mark to work with and has first go over 1¼m.

Form: 8-45347

Forecasts

Dancing Tiger (3/1), Oman (3/1), King's Hand (9/2), Celestias Comet (13/2), Primo Lara (13/2), Premier (9/1), Bobacious (16/1), Panama Black (18/1)

CELESTIAS COMET didn't shape too badly on just her second start in a handicap at Kempton 3 weeks ago and may build on that back on turf. She could be the way to go in the hope she stays this longer trip. King's Hand and Premier are a couple of others to consider.
