Photosynthesis^p1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 85| BF| D

11/4

Signed off for 2025 with 6f Newmarket win and right back on song of late, third of 13 in handicap over C&D 21 days ago. Well in the mix off the same mark with cheekpieces added.

Form: 71-0743

Winged Messenger^p,h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 82| CD

7/2

Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a 3-time winner (including here) and signed off with success in Ayr Bronze Cup (6f) in September. Shaped well with a Redcar fourth on return and not best drawn when eleventh of 21 in handicap at York (6f) 13 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards off a 2 lb lower mark.

Form: 2131-40

Zubaru^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott| OR: 82| BF| C

7/2

Ready winner over 6f here and followed up at Leicester later in May. Has continued in very good nick, taking strong hold when fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 20 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Form: 5-31124

Sixtygeesbaby^t⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79| BF| CD

6/1

Fairly useful 6f scorer for Tom Clover in 2025. Has become a shade expensive to follow after a promising return and shaped as if amiss when last of 10 at Newmarket (6f) 41 days ago. Engaged Newmarket 11.45 Thursday.

Form: 02-8050

Papa Cocktail²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Herrington| OR: 78| CD

13/2

C&D winner who arrives in better heart than his recent form figures suggest, denied a clear run when fifth of 13 in handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago. A likely player eased 1 lb.

Form: 362205

Duran¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 78| D

22/1

Thirteen runs since his last win in 2025 and he came in only sixteenth of 21 in handicap at York (6f) 13 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 420-500

Ruby Red Gove²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Hogan| T: I Furtado| OR: 77| D

5/1

Low-mileage Showcasing filly. Bagged a second win on her turf debut in 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f) 24 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb but she's not taken lightly.

Form: 241361

Kats Bob^v¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| D

28/1

Successful 5 times in 2025. Yet to score this season but posted a solid fourth over C&D before suffering worst of draw when 20th at York (6f) last time. Not out of things.

Form: 294040

(2)

Alondra²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 73

16/1

Successful twice at Wolverhampton in February. Mostly creditable efforts since and not seen to best effect with eighth of 13 in handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago, making her effort earlier than ideal. Considered.

Form: 533358

Forecasts

Ruby Red Gove (3/1), Photosynthesis (7/2), Zubaru (7/2), Papa Cocktail (6/1), Winged Messenger (7/1), Sixtygeesbaby (12/1), Alondra (16/1), Kats Bob (20/1), Duran (20/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but WINGED MESSENGER didn't enjoy the rub of the green when in midfield at York last time and has slipped to a good mark so edges the vote from in-form C&D scorer Papa Cocktail. Both Ruby Red Gove and Zubaru also need factoring into this competitive handicap.
