Chloe's Still A Filly At Forty Handicap

Off time: 19:32 | Winning time: 2m 6.98s

Night Bear^b²⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

4/1

Has gone close from similar marks on the all-weather this year. Blinkers replace cheekpieces following a below-form effort in a better race at Southwell and he's fancied to bounce back with Neil Callan (aboard for 2 of his 5 career victories) returning to the saddle.

Form: 423420

Port Noir^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 55

14/1

Successful 4 times on the all-weather this year and though she's the type to bounce back from a disappointing run at Kempton, it's been a while since she's won on turf.

Form: 716137

Le Pelerin^t1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 55

14/1

Maiden failed to see out his race on second start following a breathing operation when down the field at Southwell (11f) last time and hopes seemingly rest on the fitting of a first-time tongue strap.

Form: 3307-07

Masqool^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| D

9/1

Bounced back from a couple of lesser runs on the all-weather when third of 8 over C&D on his latest start and cannot be discounted eased slightly in grade.

Form: 442983

Naughty Niall^t,p³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55| BF| D

15/2

As good as ever when runner-up to Port Noir at Wolverhampton, and while not quite in the same form there last time, has proven he can be competitive off this sort of mark.

Form: 2-27426

Liberty Bird²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Gilligan| T: H J Evans| OR: 55

25/1

Lost her way for Lemos De Souza and ran poorly on first start for new yard at Lingfield last time.

Form: 8270-09

(6)

Galactic Glow^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 54| D

6/1

Enhanced a fine record at Bath when runner-up in a similar event there on his latest start. Up 2 lb for that performance but should find this race run to suit.

Form: 6545-62

(13)

Read All About It^v1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T Ward| OR: 52

50/1

Couldn't build on the promise of her previous effort when trailing the field over C&D last time and connections quick to reach for more severe headgear.

Form: 360-038

(5)

Twilight Guest^v²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 52| D

33/1

Rattled off a hat-trick in 1¼m handicaps last June but has been out of sorts since, including on return from 3 months off at Yarmouth (18/1) last time. Previously worn visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form: 4773-55

(14)

Fighting Queen²⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Paddy Bradley| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 52

14/1

Winner of a 1m handicap at Bath this time last year, she finished third at Wolverhampton (despite racing freely) on her penultimate start but wasn't in the same form under a change of tactics there in late-October. On a handy mark if back on song, though.

Form: 775735-

Judge Frank^p³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 51| C

9/1

More miss than hit since completing the second of a double at this track (1m) in autumn 2024. Still has to prove his stamina for this trip, but possibly worth considering at bigger prices, given his previous course form. Cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Form: 2657-07

Pride Of Nepal⁹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

16/1

C&D winner is on a long losing run and hopes rest on a revival following a short break, having been largely out of sorts on the all-weather over the winter.

Form: 8-82667

(12)

Guinness Lad^h¹¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 49

13/2

Keen-going sort shaped well in a C&D handicap this time last year and while below his best in 2 starts at Kempton in January, he'll appreciate the likely strong pace here and is lurking on a potentially dangerous mark.

Form: 2087-65

(10)

Majestic Leo^b,t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: G Brown| OR: 48

40/1

Maiden again showed little for current yard when well beaten at this course (11f) earlier this month.

Form: 89-0608

(9)

Monks Mead⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver| T: M D I Usher| OR: 48| D

17/2

Has been holding his form well in classified company on the all-weather, finishing second at Lingfield in late-March, but needs more back in a handicap on turf.

Forecasts

Night Bear (4/1), Galactic Glow (6/1), Guinness Lad (13/2), Naughty Niall (15/2), Scenario (8/1), Monks Mead (17/2), Masqool (9/1), Judge Frank (9/1), Le Pelerin (14/1), Port Noir (14/1), Fighting Queen (14/1), Pride Of Nepal (16/1), Liberty Bird (25/1), Twilight Guest (33/1), Majestic Leo (40/1), Read All About It (50/1)

A very tricky race but class-dropper NIGHT BEAR arrives fit from the all-weather and goes well under Neil Callan. He's narrowly preferred to the returning Guinness Lad, who shaped well in a C&D handicap this time last year, while Fighting Queen could feature prominently if back to her best following a break.
