Rakematiz³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: T P Queally| T: B R Johnson| OR: 72| D

10/1

Beaten just 1¾L when seventh in a 1m handicap on good-to-firm ground here at the start of last month. Stayed on well that day and a return to this distance is in his favour.

Form: 21-3167

Perfect Refuge¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 70| CD

9/4

Victorious over an extended 1m1f on the AW at Wolverhampton in January but held since including on turf the last twice. Probably best watched at present.

Form: 7-12086

High Acclaim¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Teal| OR: 69

11/4

Held seventh in a 1m2f handicap at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time out. Top jockey up and market support would be notable off a mark 12lb lower than for his latest success.

4/1

Returning from a break when finishing third over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-soft) just under two months ago. Worth a check in the market having won over this C&D off a higher mark in the past.

Forecasts

Perfect Refuge (9/4), High Acclaim (11/4), Essenaitch (4/1), Il Sicario (15/2), Dawn Treader (15/2), Rakematiz (10/1), Top Beak (10/1), Sarasota (20/1)

IL SICARIO performed well when fourth last time out and having won off a higher mark in the past he can end a long losing streak in this handicap contest. The selection can get the better of High Acclaim who has a leading jockey in the saddle while third place can go to Sarasota who is upped in distance having changed stables since her most recent start.
