10/3

Ran well when beaten 1½L into fourth in a 6f handicap at Newmraket (good-to-firm) at the start of last month. Races off the same mark here and is interesting dropping back in trip.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 83| D

Good fourth in a good ground handicap over 6f at Windsor just under a month ago but disappointed over the same C&D later that month. Wears blinkers for the first time in this contest.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 82| D

5/1

Well beaten ninth in a 6f handicap at Newmarket (good-to-firm) early last month. Worth a check in the market racing off a mark 3lb lower than for his most recent victory.

Form: 45-4669

Delagate This Lord¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: M J Attwater| OR: 81| CD

4/1

Returned to winning ways with victory by 1½L in a handicap over this C&D on good-to-firm ground last time out. Raised 5lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist as he seeks a sixth course success.

Form: 2315-01

Union Rose^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 79| CD

25/1

C&D winner was beaten 1½L when finishing runner-up to Delegate This Lord over C&D last month. Below that form when sixth here subsequently and interesting to see how he performs on this occasion.

Form: 605-026

Grisons¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76| CD

20/1

C&D winner was victorious in a 5f AW handicap at Lingfield last month but struggled back on turf at Newmarket (5f, good-to-firm) subsequently. Worth a check in the market racing off a mark 4lb higher than for that Lingfield triumph.

Form: 235-710

(5)

Big Lachie¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 74| C| D

13/2

Registered the seventh victory of his career when taking a 6f handicap at Doncaster (good-to-firm) by 1L at the end of last month. Notable runner racing off a 5lb higher mark in this event.

Form: 202461

Forecasts

Mia Mento (10/3), Delagate This Lord (4/1), Corinthia Knight (5/1), Thegreatestshowman (5/1), Big Lachie (13/2), Ice Age (7/1), Glenamoy Lad (18/1), Grisons (20/1), Union Rose (25/1)

BIG LACHIE showed good form when winning last time out and he can defy a 5lb rise in the weights to take this sprint handicap event. The selection has won twice at this venue in the past and he can see off his rivals here with fellow last time out winner Delegate This Lord, a multiple winner here taken to finish runner-up ahead of Mia Menton who wasn't beaten far over further on her most recent start.
