Lady Manzor^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 75| C

7/2

All 3 career wins have come on the all-weather, the latest in a 7f Lingfield handicap last spring. Has looked at least as good as ever this season and normally campaigned in higher grade, she's fancied to add to her tally (good record at this course).

Form: 45-8644

Influential¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 75

4/1

Showed plenty of benefit from his recent reappearance outing when second of 8 in handicap over C&D just over a fortnight ago, not so free though still a bit of maturing to do. Place claims.

Form: 552-72

Bubbles Wonky¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Pattinson| OR: 74

16/1

Improved on his previous displays for the yard after an 8-week break when third of 8 over C&D just over a fortnight ago. Needs to back that up here.

Form: 29-7943

Dannick^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 72

16/1

Placed numerous times last season and having had a breathing operation prior to his return, didn't get much chance to show what he could do upped to 1m when seventh of 8 over C&D just over 2 weeks ago. Handicapper drops him 2 lb so worth keeping an eye on.

Form: 72260-7

Hour By Hour²²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 72

18/1

Ended his time with Iain Jardine out of sorts last season. Returns on his last winning mark for an up-and-coming trainer (sold just 1,500 gns) but he'd be folly to ignore on his first go over 1m (campaigned solely at sprint trips for last couple of seasons). Headgear discarded.

Somkiyr¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: A Irvine| OR: 72

125/1

Winless since 2023 but went with more encouragement than in 6 hurdles outings for the yard when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (11f) just over 2 weeks ago. Drops markedly in trip.

Freda⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: P Phelan| OR: 72| CD

9/1

Easy to back but enjoyed a fitness edge on the other horses in the frame and merely needed to match the pick of her previous efforts to get off the mark in 10-runner novice over C&D just over 6 weeks ago. Jolt of improvement required now handicapping, however.

Sant Alessio¹⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 70| D

18/1

Doubled his tally in 9-runner event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen in November, doing well to hang on after being largely responsible for the strong gallop. The second and third that day both won next time, so there's plenty to like provided he's ready to go.

Man Of Desert¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 70

4/1

Largely struggled in handicaps but came forward a shade from his reappearance when fifth of 8 over C&D just over a fortnight ago. Handicapper eases his grip further and not without each-way hope.

Form: 0487-05

Kaaranah²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 68| CD

11/1

Ended long losing run at Wolverhampton last month before posting his best effort for a couple of years when following up back there (9.5f) just over 4 weeks ago, drawing clear final 1f. Forced up in grade but warrants plenty of respect in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 08-0611

Cephalus^b¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 68| CD

33/1

Won a seller in October but hasn't made much impact since leaving Gary & Josh Moore afterwards.

Form: 10-6908

Billy Mill²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 68| CD

4/1

Resumed winning ways over 7f here on return from a break in January and ran well to place over C&D for the second start in a row just under 3 weeks ago. Should remain competitive from the same mark.

Forecasts

Lady Manzor (7/2), Influential (4/1), Billy Mill (4/1), Man Of Desert (4/1), Freda (9/1), Kaaranah (11/1), Bubbles Wonky (16/1), Dannick (16/1), American State (16/1), Sant Alessio (18/1), Hour By Hour (18/1), Cephalus (33/1), Island Hero (33/1), Somkiyr (125/1)

An open-looking race which can go the way of LADY MANZOR, who is normally campaigned in a higher grade and all 3 of her runs at this course last season read well (form figures of 132). Kaaranah is sure to be popular arriving on a hat-trick but he may have to settle for silver forced up in class. Sant Alessio and Hour By Hour are another couple worth considering, too.
