11/1

All 3 wins came in handicaps just shy of 1½m at Windsor last year but not so good at Kempton (2m) when last seen in March. Freshened up since and back in class 5 company for her return to turf.

Won twice over hurdles in early 2023 for Gary Moore but showed nothing after over 3 years off at Goodwood earlier in the month. Can only be watched.

13/8

Struck twice over hurdles last autumn before ending 2025 with a Flat win at Chelmsford (2m) in November. Seemed to run his best race yet returning from a well-earned 6-month break when runner-up here last month but not so good over hurdles at Fakenham since.

13/2

Given a chance by the handicapper and ran better than for a while dropped into a 0-70 when fifth of 7 at Nottingham (1¾m, good) recently, though not for the first time his lack of finishing speed at the trip was in evidence. Returned to 2m but others look stronger.

Rogue Empire⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 66| CD

1/1

Built on reappearance third when scoring easily over C&D last month and brushed off a 6 lb rise with an even easier success in 8-runner event at Kempton (2m) 8 days ago, going clear over 1f out. Obviously well-in off the same mark so should take some stopping.

Forecasts

Rogue Empire (1/1), An Bradan Feasa (13/8), Kitty Foyle (7/2), Diamond Bay (13/2), Naasma (11/1), Love Is Golden (150/1)

Preference is for ROGUE EMPIRE, who seems to have benefited from relinquishing the pace-setting duties of late and Roger Teal's 4-y-o can complete the hat-trick from an unchanged mark. Kitty Foyle has been in good order over hurdles this spring and she can edge out Naasma for the forecast spot.
