Supreme King²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 75| D

10/3

Landed a 6f all-weather hat-trick during the winter. Respectable return to turf when fifth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 24 days ago but remains 2 lb above his last winning mark.

Form: 115355

Arantes Nascimento²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 74

5/1

Runner-up on 4 consecutive occasions in handicaps around 7f this winter prior to recording a deserved success in a 12-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) in April. Showed he's still effective over 5f when second of 10 back on turf at Newmarket since. Acts on soft. Enters calculations.

Lazzar^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| D

28/1

Had an excellent winter on the all-weather but below form back on turf (including at Bath last Friday) and might be best watched again.

Newsreader^p⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: E Smyth-Osbourne| OR: 73

12/1

Three-time winner over 7f at Kempton. Yet to strike on turf but he was placed in handicaps at Ffos Las (7f) and Windsor (6f) at the end of last summer. Presumably needed April's Pontefract reappearance after 6 months off.

Form: 98236-6

Invincible Speed¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

16/1

Has found some consistency since scoring on the polytrack at Lingfield in January, finishing second on turf there (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Below par on previous outing on soft.

Form: 4-14442

Distant Rumble¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R A Teal| OR: 70| D

5/2

Returned to form when runner-up over C&D (good to soft) last month and went one better at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since. Raised 3 lb but he won off 1 lb higher last year. A must for the shortlist under Oisin Murphy.

Form: 6-56621

(5)

Thunderous Love^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 68| BF| CD

10/3

Had a very productive 2025, winning 5 times over 6f, including here off 2 lb higher. Encouraging seventh of 18 at Ascot (6f) in May and has had possible excuses since. Too well handicapped to ignore.

Form: 20-5769

Phoenix Moon¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: D J Coakley| OR: 64| D

16/1

All 4 wins over 6f on Lingfield's polytrack but ran better than she ever has on turf when runner-up at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month. Blindfold removed late when third of 5 at Bath since. In good form but her ability to handle going softer than good has to be taken on trust.

Form: 24-1423

(10)

Addictive²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 62

150/1

Showed ability in 4 starts for George Boughey in 2024 but no obvious promise in sprint handicaps at Windsor and Lingfield since returning from an absence for a new yard.

Form: 2543/06

Unico^p³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: S Hitchcott| T: C Gordon| OR: 57| D

25/1

Back to winning ways at Brighton (5f, soft) last September. Shaped as if needing first start for 5 months when eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton 34 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted. Not dismissed having returned to the mark she defied at Brighton.

Form: 31438-8

Forecasts

Distant Rumble (5/2), Supreme King (10/3), Thunderous Love (10/3), Arantes Nascimento (5/1), Newsreader (12/1), Invincible Speed (16/1), Phoenix Moon (16/1), Lodge (20/1), Unico (25/1), Lazzar (28/1), Addictive (150/1)

THUNDEROUS LOVE is likely in better heart than her recent form figures suggest and, having dipped back to a mark in the 60s, is worth siding with at a C&D where she's tasted success twice, including on testing ground. Recent Windsor scorer Distant Rumble rates an obvious danger with Oisin Murphy taking the reins, while Arantes Nascimento is another who arrives at the top of his game.
