Tardaff¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55

10/1

Fair form when runner-up in maiden/novice events last summer. Hasn't got close to that level in 3 handicap outings this year but this is a marked drop in grade and Billy Loughnane has a good record for the stable.

Form: 254-005

Ribston Pippin²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 54| CD

4/1

C&D winner at the end of 2025. Another good C&D effort when second of 11 in April. Not so good on turf twice since but better can be expected back at a venue which suits.

Form: 41-6297

8/1

Placed twice on this surface at Newcastle this year but needs to bounce back from a lesser run there last time.

Love You More^h³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Callan| T: J Parr| OR: 53| D

9/2

Caught the eye with seventh at Windsor (nearest finish after a very slow start) and confirmed that promise switched to a classified event when finally off the mark at Lingfield (1m, all-weather) 5 weeks ago. Player back in a handicap.

Form: 8-27071

Implied Volatility⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 52

16/1

Winless in 11 starts, including well held in 2 Wolverhampton outings since returning from a break. Mark in freefall but would need to see market support to consider.

Form: 477-700

The Spotlight Kid^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: D K Ivory| OR: 51| D

16/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. Has made the frame 5 times this season but latest Wolverhampton sixth was a below-par effort.

Create^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| CD

12/1

Can blow her chance at the start but she landed a pair of C&D wins last year and got her head back in front in 1m Ffos Las classified event (good) 19 days ago. Another who has to enter calculations.

Heretic^p,t⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: M Herrington| OR: 51| BF| CD

6/1

Back-to-back winner over C&D last autumn. Operating a little below that level in recent starts (latest Yarmouth second came in a match race) but is well treated if back to his best.

Form: 438732

Splinterwood⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Appleby| OR: 50

20/1

Due Diligence gelding who showed a bit in novice events but well held on Wolverhampton handicap debut 6 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that first outing in 5 months but hard to make a good case for.

Form: 7-679

Have You A Minute⁶¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: T P Tate| OR: 50| CD

11/1

C&D winner but suffered a heavy defeat on Wolverhampton reappearance and off for a further 2 months since.

Timebar^t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jack Gilligan| T: S R Bowring| OR: 49

5/1

Runner-up in classified events at Nottingham (6f) and Newcastle (7f) in recent months, shaping likely the best horse at the weights at the latter track. This trip is at the limit of his stamina, though.

Form: 342-822

Forecasts

Ribston Pippin (4/1), Mercurius Power (4/1), Love You More (9/2), Timebar (5/1), Heretic (6/1), Barleybrown (8/1), Tardaff (10/1), Have You A Minute (11/1), Create (12/1), The Spotlight Kid (16/1), Implied Volatility (16/1), Splinterwood (20/1), Evelyn's Phoenix (20/1), Muddy Marvellous (125/1)

The booking of Billy Loughnane for TARDAFF catches the eye and she might be worth chancing, with confidence in her prospects increased should the betting vibes be strong. Ribston Pippin has a solid C&D record and can shrug aside a couple of lesser efforts on turf and provide the chief threat ahead of Love You More and Mercurius Power.
