Phoenix Beach^p³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| D

10/1

Sixteen runs since last win and hasn't looked the easiest of conveyance on last 2 starts on the all-weather. Rare turf run these days and this the lowest band of handicap he's contested.

Form: 939355

Sioux Warrior⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 54

4/1

Has just the one win to his name but fallen a long way in the weights and made more of an impact when good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 60 days ago. Off since but a danger at this level if returning on his game.

Form: 07-5652

Mister Sandman^p,h1¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: G & J Moore| OR: 52

7/2

Yet to win a race and expensive to follow for current connections, albeit he has shaped better than the bare result on a couple of occasions. Hood should help him settle on return and he may yet have a bigger performance in him.

He's An Angel¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: S D Bowen| T: K Frost| OR: 52| D

8/1

Came from well off the pace to win 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in January. Mixed bag since and always behind back at 5f on a rare turf start 2 weeks ago.

Neptune Legend^t,v⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

4/1

C&D winner last summer and also successful on the all-weather in November. Held back by habitual slow starts of late, including both starts back with Tony Carroll. Visor/tongue strap back on.

Form: 878657

Scent Of May³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Candy| OR: 50

14/1

Lightly-raced sort who landed 5f Chepstow maiden in August. Only ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell 2 months later but shaped with a bit more promise on last month's return to action at Nottingham. This mark should be within range.

Form: 9/2419-5

Rinky Tinky Tinky^p1¹⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 48| D

9/1

Nottingham winner on last season's reappearance but little to shout about after. Clearly capable fresh and has a basement mark to exploit, so she's of some interest in cheekpieces for the first time.

Newyorkstateofmind^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47| CD

5/1

Losing run stretches 24 runs to autumn of 2024. Assessor has given him every chance and he stuck to it well when runner-up at Catterick 11 days ago.

Form: 5570-02

Looks very limited on early evidence.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

25/1

Sole success came at Lingfield a year ago for Richard Hannon and doesn't make much appeal out of classified company these days.

Coco Hill⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 45| D

Thirty runs since last win in 2022 and again never involved from off the pace at Wolverhampton.

Tilsworth Ony Ta¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45| CD

66/1

Twenty five runs since last win in 2024 and hasn't been threatening for a good while.

Forecasts

Mister Sandman (7/2), Neptune Legend (4/1), Sioux Warrior (4/1), Newyorkstateofmind (5/1), He's An Angel (8/1), Rinky Tinky Tinky (9/1), Phoenix Beach (10/1), Up The Anti (12/1), Scent Of May (14/1), She Went Whoosh (25/1), Titus Thor (33/1), Coco Hill (33/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (66/1), Bluesy Moon (66/1)

A hood might help MISTER SANDMAN settle and if that does prove to be the case, he has it in him to win from this sort of mark. Low-mileage 4-y-o Scent of May is a big threat, with Sioux Warrior also of some interest.
