Primo Lara^b,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jack Morland| OR: 76| D

4/1

Won twice over this trip in 2024 for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Unplaced on next 10 starts but stopped the slide with blinkers added (retained) when second of 10 at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) 11 days ago. Claims if the headgear works as well again.

Form: 769-962

Criminal^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 70

5/1

Still a maiden but he went close on all-weather at Lingfield (1¼m) in April. Little went right (took strong hold out wide from poor draw) when seventh of 11 at Kempton (1m) on Wednesday. Treated as if still in form.

Somkiyr⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: A Irvine| OR: 70

125/1

Ran respectably at long odds in a pair of all-weather starts at Kempton last month but never involved back on turf at Goodwood last week (subsequently disqualified for a lost weight cloth).

Form: 532/88D

Redbud Sixteen⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 70

20/1

Fair form when placed in 1m maidens for Paul Attwater at the end of last summer but no obvious promise on 1m Kempton handicap debut/reappearance for new trainer in April. Steps up in trip after 10 weeks off.

Form: 723-8

Suhub¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 69

5/1

Went the wrong way for William Haggas but joined a stable renowned for success with new recruits and took an immediate step back in the right direction when close second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 13 days ago. A must for the shortlist.

Form: 3/9230-2

(6)

Huggable²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 68| D

4/1

Successful over this trip at Epsom (good to firm) last August. Also runner-up on next 2 starts. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) on reappearance 26 days ago. Entitled to come on for that and Billy Loughnane takes the reins.

Form: 01220-6

(3)

King's Castle²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67| D

4/1

Veteran who landed back-to-back 1¼m wins last summer and can add to his tally this year judged on his encouraging reappearance second at Lingfield (11.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 26 days ago. Big player from an unchanged mark.

Form: 11335-2

(4)

Mighty Quiet^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 67| D

8/1

Doubled her career tally at Windsor (1¼m, good) last September. Looked in need of the run after 5 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m) on reappearance and failed to stay 1½m at Ffos Las since. Only 1 lb above the mark she defied at Windsor.

Form: 5182-64

(8)

Sixfiveseven^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: J S Moore| OR: 66

12/1

Scored at Newmarket (1m) for Keiran Burke in 2024. Has shown he retains plenty of ability for new yard after 16 months off, taking another step back in right direction when fourth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (1m, soft) 10 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 177/964

(9)

Castle Quarter^p,h²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-6| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 58| D

80/1

Four-time all-weather Flat winner earlier in career. Modest handicap hurdler for current yard, running poorly in recent starts. It remains to be seen whether a return to the Flat sparks a revival from this 10-y-o.

Forecasts

King's Castle (4/1), Primo Lara (4/1), Huggable (4/1), Criminal (5/1), Suhub (5/1), Mighty Quiet (8/1), Sixfiveseven (12/1), Redbud Sixteen (20/1), Castle Quarter (80/1), Somkiyr (125/1)

KING'S CASTLE is given a chance to build on his promising comeback second at Lingfield. Suhub looks yet another new recruit James Owen will get wins out of and is next on the list ahead of Huggable. Primo Lara should also have a say if the blinkers work again.
