11/4

Capitalised on the drop in grade to win her first handicap in 8-runner event at Southwell (5f) last month, edging out Startling. Disappointing in selling event at Hamilton following week, looking less than straightforward, but could bounce back under stable apprentice.

3/1

Returned to form from out of the blue to open his account for the season in 6f Epsom handicap last week. Still well treated after 2 lb nudge and is 2-3 at Doncaster so his claims are obvious.

10/1

Off the mark in 6f Wolverhampton maiden on return in March and back to form of late, finishing fifth at Newbury last week. One to note under rider enjoying good season.

5/1

A 4-time winner over 5f for David O'Meara. Went close at Thirsk and Southwell for new yard before a lesser effort in 3-runner contest at Leicester. Can bounce back following a break.

Form: 6P-8322

2/1

Gained a deserved win at Wolverhampton (5f) in December. Gone close on several occasions on turf but latest Nottingham run 2 months ago was poor.

Forecasts

Papa Don't Preach (2/1), Come On Over (9/4), J Street (11/4), Ancient Times (3/1), Startling (5/1), Wyle Cop (10/1)

ANCIENT TIMES got his head back in front at Epsom and has a good record at Doncaster so he can follow up. The other last-time-out winner Come On Over has been in good heart at this track and could be the danger.
