Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Bagged a pair of amateur rider events here last summer (including this corresponding race). Little impact in a pair of all-weather handicaps this spring but bounced back after an 8-week break when scoring at Goodwood (1m, heavy) 8 weeks ago. Fancied to make a bold bid to retain his crown.

Form: 123-901

Epictetus^t1⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: J A Osborne| OR: 79| D

3/1

Winless for 3 years but has been knocking on the door this season over a variety of trips, typically giving his running when third of 5 at Lingfield (1¼m, good to firm) 5 days ago. Hopes pinned on a first-time tongue tie working the oracle.

Form: 330523

Arcadian Nights¹⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Jack Loughnane⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 77| D

125/1

Hasn't shown his form on turf in 5 attempts since August 2023 and ran poorly when last seen at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 months ago. Looks an easy swerve.

Form: 0045-46

Impierious^v1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Henry Callan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 82

12/1

Has finished third on all 3 starts but is proving a bit of a slow learner, still looking green/ungainly under pressure in 8-runner maiden at Ffos Las (1m, good) just over 5 weeks ago. First-time visor applied for his handicap debut and may well take a step forward.

Form: 333

Beach Point^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr James Hills⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Knight| OR: 72| CD

7/1

Recorded back-to-back wins over C&D last summer. Has made the frame on 4 of his 5 outings this season, most recently when fourth of 9 at York (10.3f, good to firm) just under 4 weeks ago. Likely to prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.

Form: 5-43484

Drumstick^h⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: F O'Brien| OR: 70| D

10/1

Made a quiet hurdling debut for this yard at Newton Abbot last September but left that behind returned to the level in May, running out a commanding winner in 8-runner event at Windsor (1¼m, good). Returns from 7 lb higher and should be in the mix provided he's ready to go.

What's The Plan¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Eireann Cagney| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75| BF

5/4

Won 7f Lingfield maiden last in September. Gelded over the winter and has returned an improved model, giving his all reunited with a fully-fledged rider when second of 4 at Lingfield (1¼m, firm) just over a fortnight ago. Looks up to adding to his tally.

Forecasts

What's The Plan (5/4), Epictetus (3/1), Warning Sign (5/1), Beach Point (7/1), Drumstick (10/1), Impierious (12/1), Arcadian Nights (125/1)

WHAT'S THE PLAN has taken his form up a level in defeat this season and James Fanshawe's 3-y-o looks ready to add to his tally. He gets the vote over Warning Sign, who landed back-to-back course wins here last summer (including this race) and arrives on the back of a career-best having bolted up at Goodwood 8 weeks ago. Drumstick looks best of the rest provided he's ready to roll after 3 months off.
