Lili Marleen^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Jack Jones| OR: 55| D

4/1

Winner on all-weather at Chantilly in December and stopped the slide for current yard with cheekpieces fitted for the first time in Britain when second of 11 over C&D last week. Unlikely to be far away again if reproducing that.

Kev²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 54

7/2

Cemented the good start he's made for current yard when gaining a second hard-fought victory in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/8) 25 days ago. Enjoyed the run of the race and had nothing to spare at the line but a 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

African Spirit^p,t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53

6/1

Posted his best effort since joining current yard to come out on top in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/8) 25 days ago by head from Dumfries, getting first run in a steadily-run race. Wouldn't be sure to confirm that form from a 2 lb higher mark.

Grand Citadel⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: M Fenton| OR: 53

40/1

Benefited from the refitting of blinkers earlier in the season, doubling her tally when making most at Leicester (7f) in May. Found life much tougher in stronger company next 2 starts but again ran poorly back down in grade after 3 months off at Brighton recently.

Captain Corelli^p³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52| D

50/1

Successful on 4 of his 5 starts on turf during 2024 but struggled for form last year and hasn't offered much encouragement on either start back following another breathing operation.

Form: 5900-09

Oscar's Sister^h⁹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52

33/1

Remains with just the one career victory back in 2022 and again failed to settle when sixth at Doncaster (1m) on her most recent outing. Still to prove herself at this trip.

Form: 26-8486

Crown The Future²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55

13/2

Proved better than ever when doubling his tally in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Was better placed than most but accounted for a next-time-out winner and should remain competitive from a 5 lb higher mark.

Form: 704521

Knightmare^b²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 51| D

12/1

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when shedding maiden tag in classified race at Chepstow (1m) in July and posted fine second at Ffos Las 4 days later. Below that level since, though wasn't seen to anything like best effect when 3 lengths fifth to African Spirit at Wolverhampton latest.

Form: 212555

Love You More²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 51| D

4/1

Tends to start slowly but did get off the mark in 1m classified event at Lingfield under Billy Loughnane in July. Hasn't reproduced that level in 3 handicaps since, though.

Dumfries¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51| CD

12/1

Below last winning mark and has been shaping as though ready to cash, finishing with a flourish held up in a steadily-run race when second to African Spirit at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on penultimate outing. Proved a let-down over C&D a fortnight ago but likely to be in the shake-up if bouncing back.

Form: 544329

Blue Samuna¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: James Owen| OR: 54

12/1

Failed to go on for Jane Chapple-Hyam and hasn't fired in 3 handicap starts for her current yard either. On the upside, she's eased further in the weights ahead of this switch to tapeta.

Form: 6-67870

Al Suil Eile^p³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 50| CD

16/1

4-time C&D winner for Shaun Harris. Down to a handy mark for this yard and caught the eye with his finishing effort in refitted cheekpieces when fifth over C&D last month. Danger to all if building on that.

Form: 370-645

Rogue Desire³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53

33/1

Finished third on debut for Jack Jones but mainly downhill since, offering little in 3 handicap starts for Jack Morland. Has switched to another yard and now drops back down markedly in trip.

Forecasts

Kev (7/2), Battle Standard (7/2), Lili Marleen (4/1), Love You More (4/1), African Spirit (6/1), Crown The Future (13/2), Dumfries (12/1), Blue Samuna (12/1), Knightmare (12/1), Al Suil Eile (16/1), Oscar's Sister (33/1), Rogue Desire (33/1), Grand Citadel (40/1), Captain Corelli (50/1)

KEV had nothing to spare at Wolverhampton on his most recent outing, but he's still lightly raced for his current yard and a 3 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. Veteran Al Suil Eile caught the eye with how he made up his ground from a less-than-ideal position over C&D last month and will be a danger to all if building on that run, while Crown The Future is another last-time-out scorer who merits respect.
