Trevithick⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 71| D

4/1

All previous successes have come on artificial surfaces but much-improved turf run at Leicester (1m, good; 10-3) this month when finishing second. Just 1lb higher here and worth considering with that run in mind.

Form: 8-54102

Five Diamonds³¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| BF

20/1

Filly won a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good to firm; 1-2f) last summer on second start for William Haggas but turned over next time in 1m2f good-ground Lingfield novice. Off since and market a sound guide on first foray into handicaps for new trainer.

Stoney Lane^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 70

14/1

Novice winner at Wetherby in May 2019 over 7f; mixed bag of efforts afterwards however and recent return to action at Beverley (7½f, good; 9-1) saw him running out of steam late on. Must step up markedly on that run.

Form: 02003-9

Whitehall^b⁴³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 70| D

50/1

Nottingham winner in 2018 for Sir Michael Stoute but lost his way subsequently and was tailed off on sole outing for this trainer 14 months ago. Hard to be confident on this occasion.

Form: 34273/9-

Zodiakos^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 70| BF| CD

7/1

Experienced campaigner with six turf wins including over C&D in 2017; on target at Newcastle (1m, AW; 22-1) this month but couldn't back it up under 4lb penalty three days later. Opposable here from higher turf mark.

Form: 50-5617

Kermouster¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 69| D

5/1

Quick-fire hat-trick of wins last summer (1m/1m1f, on ground ranging from heavy/good to firm) but went quiet in final two starts and once more down the field on return at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft; 16-1) recently. On fair mark if bouncing back.

Form: 11177-6

Flying Raconteur^t²⁹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| D

9/1

Missed 568 days prior to fine third in maiden handicap over C&D a year ago; hit and miss afterwards but ended on high note with breakthrough success at Ripon (1m, good; 13-2). 5lb higher on seasonal return but certainly not discounted.

Form: 348781-

Into The Zone²⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68

100/1

Didn't show much in four starts for previous yard, including poor run on h'cap bow at Southwell over 1m4f in October. Switched to this yard since and wouldn't be a major shock to see an improvement soon.

Form: 74/98-

Harry George¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 65| D

5/1

Four-time winner on the AW at Newcastle in 10 starts and shaped with plenty promise when third at Pontefract (1m, good to firm; 9-2) this month. Same mark now and should be involved in the shake-up.

Form: 19/6913

Khazaf¹⁰⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65

40/1

Shadwell cast-off (175,000gns yearling); not shown much in three starts and will have to step forward considerably to be a threat on this handicap bow.

Form: 6/8-4

Harlow^h³³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64| D

10/1

Maiden winner over this trip on debut at Newcastle in 2017; unconvincing in his time with Tony Martin in Ireland but did show some promise in three runs last year for this yard. Positive jockey booking and could take advantage of this low mark soon.

Form: 009/557-

(7)

Fox Kasper²⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

20/1

0-9 across both turf and AW. Had his first six starts for Richard Hannon (placed three times over 7f/1m) but didn't get back to quite that level of form towards the end of the season on joining this trainer. Now on a handy mark and interesting.

Tiercel²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 64| D

33/1

Appeared to bounce back to form with close second at Newcastle (7f, AW; 16-1) in March but not in same form there this month and a very long time since he was seen to best effect on turf.

Forecasts

Trevithick (4/1), Harry George (5/1), Kermouster (5/1), Zodiakos (7/1), Flying Raconteur (9/1), Harlow (10/1), Stoney Lane (14/1), Siena Mia (14/1), Fox Kasper (20/1), Five Diamonds (20/1), Tiercel (33/1), Khazaf (40/1), Whitehall (50/1), Into The Zone (100/1)

This is wide open stuff and a chance is afforded to HARLOW with PJ McDonald a promising booking on the Ian Williams-trained six-year-old. He showed some initial promise last year on the all-weather after returning to these shores from an unsuccessful stint in Ireland. Yet to show his best on turf, he lurks on a tempting mark and is a speculative choice on return to action. Trevithick is the form pick on his Leicester second eight days ago, while recent Pontefract third Harry George is also likely to be bang there. Handicap debutante Five Diamonds merits some attention too.
