Winchurch³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| D

11/2

Capitalised on a career-low mark when winning 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (6f, good, 7/2) 36 days ago. 8 lb higher now but is not taken lightly.

Form: 8-75341

Giorgio M^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69| C

13/2

Made all on second start for this yard at Lingfield (7f) in December but mostly respectable efforts at best since, pulling too hard when well held at Yarmouth latest.

Form: 376477

Havana Sky⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68| CD

11/2

Three-time C&D winner who posted his best effort of this year when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f) 90 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks a likely player.

Form: 202-084

Beyond Borders^p,t1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: William Pyle| T: K Frost| OR: 68| CD

10/1

Sole success last term came at Yarmouth in June and not been in same form since. Tongue strap on first time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8006-76

(3)

Fuji Mountain¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 67

13/2

Went close to breaking a long losing run at Pontefract in April but hasn't backed that up since and makes limited appeal.

Form: 5-02487

(9)

Lesley's Boy^v⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| D

11/2

Not scored since his juvenile days and was never involved on his return at Ripon in April. Others more convincing.

Form: 30463-0

(7)

Initial Blue^b,t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Doughty| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 67| D

7/2

Dual Kempton scorer this year who returned to form when good second of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6f) 32 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 333172

(8)

Wodao^t¹³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 67

40/1

Has yet to add to his 2 juvenile successes in 2022. 25/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) in January. Has left Jamie Osborne and is likely best watched here.

Form: 0645-96

(12)

Daytona Lady^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| BF| CD

12/1

Not the most consistent but attracted strong market support before ending her losing run over C&D in April and has made the frame in both starts since. Respected.

Form: 76-3134

(13)

Iconic Times¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: J Candlish| OR: 62| D

28/1

Dropped to a handy mark but was unsuited by drop back in trip when ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 11 days ago and could be similar story here.

Form: 353609

(11)

Watermelon Sugar¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 62| CD

40/1

In good form with brace of 6f Lingfield wins over the winter but finished well beaten the last twice and others appeal more.

Form: 51-2100

(6)

Teardrops¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

22/1

Multiple Newcastle winner for Richard Spencer but ran no sort of race on turf debut for new yard at Lingfield 13 days ago. Better expected back on all-weather now, though.

Form: 302348

Forecasts

Initial Blue (7/2), Havana Sky (11/2), Lesley's Boy (11/2), Winchurch (11/2), Giorgio M (13/2), Fuji Mountain (13/2), Forever Noah (7/1), Beyond Borders (10/1), Daytona Lady (12/1), Teardrops (22/1), Iconic Times (28/1), Watermelon Sugar (40/1), Wodao (40/1)

INITIAL BLUE was clear of the remainder when runner-up at Southwell last month and gets the nod in a tricky-looking finale. Winchurch and Havana Sky head the list of dangers.
