4/1

C&D winner was making his seasonal reappearance when finishing runner-up in a good ground handicap over an extended 1m3f at Bath earlier this month. Interesting runner racing off a 1lb lower mark in this contest.

Form: 45234-2

9/1

12 race maiden was beaten just 1½L when finishing fourth over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good) last August. Visor worn for the first time that day is dispensed with on seasonal reappearance.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 49| D

16/1

Dual winner showed promise when fifth in a 1m4f handicap at Pontefract (good) on stable debut last month. Disappointed over hurdles subsequently however and interesting to see how she performs.

Form: 99750-5

Becky Sharp^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 47| D

11/1

Placed third on her two most recent starts including when beaten 6¼L over this trip at Leicester (good-to-firm) at the end of last month. Interesting runner on this occasion.

Form: 460-733

Urban Scene^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs L C Jewell| OR: 45

50/1

Held in all five starts so far most recently when finishing eighth over 1m2f at Lingfield earlier this month. Cheekpieces left off that day return racing from out of the handicap on her first attempt at this distance.

Form: 768-08

Boutan^b1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 45| C

25/1

Struggled in both starts this year including when 22L eighth over an extended 1m3f at Bath (good) earlier this month. Well handicapped on her old form despite racing from out of the weights with blinkers tried for the first time.

Form: 140/5-78

(10)

Tally's Son^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 45| C

22/1

Held in three starts this year most recently when 15L ninth over 1m2f at Bath (good) 11 days ago. Blinkers reapplied that day are retained and has to prove his stamina racing from out of the handicap on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 680-569

(13)

Kaisan^p,t¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 45

9/1

Fair ninth in a 1m5f handicap at Bath (good) earlier this month on his first start since February. Others hold more obvious claims racing from out of the handicap dropping back in trip.

Form: 124/539

Sellingallthetime¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45| D

28/1

Finished a well beaten 8¾L third over an extended 1m3f at Bath (good) at the start of this month and was beaten 6L when tenth upped to 1m5f there subsequently. Likely more needed from out of the weights if he's to take this race.

Form: 40-6630

Almontaser^p,t¹⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 45

80/1

15 race maiden struggled in a 1m3f handicap on the fibresand at Southwell in February. Tongue tie worn for the first time that day is joined by cheekpieces racing from out of the handicap on his return to turf.

Scarlet Ruby²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 51

7/4

Best effort in four starts to date came when finishing 3L fourth in a 1m4f handicap at Leicester (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Races off the same mark here and remains open to improvement.

Form: 80-84

(3)

Ginger Box²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Carson| T: R Brisland| OR: 48

17/2

Fair 6½L sixth in a handicap over this trip on good-to-firm ground at Leicester last time out. Races off a 2lb lower mark here but others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 00-806

Forecasts

Scarlet Ruby (7/4), Sunshineandbubbles (3/1), General Brook (4/1), Ginger Box (17/2), Kaisan (9/1), Kismat (9/1), Becky Sharp (11/1), Raven's Raft (16/1), Jenny Ren (16/1), Tally's Son (22/1), Boutan (25/1), Sellingallthetime (28/1), Urban Scene (50/1), Almontaser (80/1)

SCARLET RUBY showed promise when fourth on handicap debut over this trip last time out and she can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking by taking this competitive looking handicap event. Sunshineandbubbles has been in great form of late and she can claim third as she attempts to register a fourth consecutive victory while third place can go to previous C&D winner General Brook who finished runner-up on seasonal debut last time.
