Celsius^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: Tom Clover| OR: 91| D

85/40

Quirky, but has a good strike-rate, winning five of his eight starts in handicaps at 5f. Plenty went wrong for him at Haydock (6f) last time, and best to ignore that run.

Form: 1110-18

(8)

Lomu¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: D Tudhope| T: I Jardine| OR: 91| D

16/5

Won twice at Wolverhampton in December, and ran well after a break when 1L fourth of 8 to National Anthem at Ayr last month. Can race freely, but adaptable in ground terms, and on a fair mark, so respected.

Form: 5711-54

Junius Brutus²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: R M Beckett| OR: 90| D

5/2

Have to go back to 2018 to find last win and he was below form when 4¼L fifth of 10 to Chairmanoftheboard at Windsor last time. Possible that run was needed after a break, so not dismissed.

Form: 725-525

Han Solo Berger^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Twice followed below-par runs to win turf handicaps here and at Yarmouth last term. Just a respectable sixth of 12 to Line of Reason here on his latest start, but not helped by the draw that day, and isn't ruled out with usual cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 1010-16

(3)

Grandfather Tom¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 78| D

14/1

Front runner whose best form is over this trip on quick turf, so recent rain is a worry. Disappointing with conditions in his favour last time, and others are more convincing again.

Form: 8118-48

Forecasts

Celsius (85/40), Junius Brutus (5/2), Lomu (16/5), Line Of Reason (4/1), Han Solo Berger (9/2), Eeh Bah Gum (7/1), East Street Revue (7/1), Royal Birth (10/1), Tanasoq (10/1), Breathless Times (11/1), Grandfather Tom (14/1), Outrage (20/1)

The recent rain is not good news for a few of these, while several arrive out of sorts. Celsius can have his latest flop overlooked, and should be competitive back at five furlongs, so looks solid, although preference is for EAST STREET REVUE, who caught the eye at Ripon on his return, and is best with some ease underfoot. Han Solo Berger was behind Line of Reason here last time, but is taken to turn the tables with headgear refitted.
