Wise Crack²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65

5/1

Yet to make an impact in 3 starts for this yard but his standout effort at 2 yrs came on his sole run on the all-weather (third in Lingfield novice) so he's not one to write off yet switched to tapeta.

Form: 738-056

Fanjove^b1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65| CD

8/1

In fine form last year and ran well on reappearance at Southwell (6f). Gone backwards next 2 starts, though, and headgear now applied.

Form: 312-469

Saxon Prince⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 64

12/1

Maiden whose 5 outings for Clive Cox came on the all-weather, shaping well when narrowly denied at Kempton in March. Subsequently sold for 24,000 gns but made a low-key start for this yard on turf debut at Ripon following month.

Form: 356-526

Elemma²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

22/1

Starman filly who showed a bit more with each start in novices/maiden, which offers some encouragement for this handicap/all-weather debut.

Form: 457

40/1

Winner at Wolverhampton for Richard Hughes last summer. Bounced back to score for present yard here (1m, 50/1) in March but tailed off switched to turf next 2 starts. No surprise if he bounced back returned to this surface but still risky all the same.

Form: 34-9100

Bird Of War¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Vigors⁽⁵⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 64| C

4/1

Stepped up in handicaps during the autumn, channelling his energy more efficiently when running out a comfortable winner here (1m) in November. However, failed to make an impact both starts this term.

Form: 9441-85

Rousham^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| D

11/1

Not an easy ride but showed much improved form when making a winning handicap debut at Redcar last month. However, found temperament getting the better of him once again at Doncaster 11 days ago.

Henriette Ronner^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 62| C

50/1

Responded well to headgear when off the mark here (6f) in January on final start for William Haggas but has struggled since.

Secretinthesky²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 62

50/1

Hinted at ability in maidens but big improvement required if she's to defy this opening mark.

Form: 48-5

Popty Ping^v¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 61| D

7/1

Both wins at Southwell with most recent success in March. Mixed record since but was better than bare result at Doncaster latest.

Form: 614276

Based²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Taylor Fisher| T: W J Knight| OR: 59| D

4/1

Improved when second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton on return and quickly resumed progress when off the mark there last time, doing well to pick up the better placed favourite. Remains of firm interest.

Form: 078-271

Maynora¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 58

28/1

Finally off the mark at Pontefract (6f) in April and decent efforts in defeat next 2 starts. Return to 7f/all weather no problem.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 57| CD

Won twice over C&D during the winter and back to best when fourth of 15 at Doncaster 11 days ago. Respected.

Forecasts

Bird Of War (4/1), Based (4/1), Surgeon Commander (9/2), Wise Crack (5/1), Popty Ping (7/1), Fanjove (8/1), Rousham (11/1), Saxon Prince (12/1), Strong Voice (14/1), Elemma (22/1), Maynora (28/1), Smartanck (40/1), Henriette Ronner (50/1), Secretinthesky (50/1)

BASED got off the mark in impressive fashion at Wolverhampton last time (recorded a strong sectional) and looks capable of defying a 6 lb rise. Surgeon Commander and Popty Ping can fight out minor honours.
