Luna Wish³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 60| D

22/1

Struck form at this time last year with a pair of Chelmsford wins at this trip. Not in the same form since, but should be fitter after comeback run and is now back in 0-60 for the first time since her latest win.

Form: 49330-0

Dors Toyboy¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: D K Ivory| OR: 60

50/1

Modest form in a pair of 7f maidens in the winter, a bit keen on the second of them. Needs to improve now stepping into handicap company for the first time.

Form: 56

Berkshire Philly^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 59

10/1

Stand out run on comeback when dead-heating for second in a tight finish over C&D. Her subsequent run looks too bad to be true and with first-time cheekpieces now on it may pay to give her another chance.

Form: 8404-29

(5)

Exotic Escape⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Loughnane| OR: 59

4/1

Chelmsford comeback run over 7f puts her in with a shout but was a bit keen at this trip at Haydick last time . Also engaged in 4-15 Catterick on Tuesday.

Form: 969-48

(4)

Ragtime Sally^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 59

8/1

Front-runner who hasn't got home over further in two runs this season so the drop down to this trip looks the right move. Improvement could be forthcoming from favourable draw.

Form: 705-70

(11)

Tidal Racer²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 58

15/2

Modest form in three maidens and switch to handicaps didn't bring about much improvement at Bath. Needs to do better but still relatively early days.

Form: 70-66

(6)

Stopnsearch¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: B R Johnson| OR: 57| CD

7/1

Poor form in trio of maidens but a different story when sent handicapping in February when landing a gamble over C&D. 4lb higher today but should have more to come.

Form: 00-01

(7)

Disarming¹⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 57

18/1

Seven race maiden but has shown enough ability on a couple of runs to suggest she can play a part though not looking the easiest to predict.

Form: 9630-38

(10)

Alezan¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 56| D

5/2

Much improved on last two runs and having been runner-up at Kempton, made no mistake when getting off the mark in weak contest at Bath. More needed here but on the upgrade and solid claims.

Form: 75-7821

(12)

Sepia Belle^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 56

10/1

Penultimate run can be ignored as she slipped coming into straight. Quickly back on track in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow when third and that form has already received a few boosts.

Form: 5-60303

Notion Of Time²⁵

Forecasts

Alezan (5/2), Exotic Escape (4/1), Stopnsearch (7/1), Tidal Racer (15/2), Ragtime Sally (8/1), Sepia Belle (10/1), Berkshire Philly (10/1), Notion Of Time (14/1), Disarming (18/1), Rosie Mccann (20/1), Luna Wish (22/1), Dors Toyboy (50/1)

Berkshire Philly is surely better than she showed last time and should play a part but narrow preference goes to ALEZAN who won with something to spare at Bath last time and hails from a yard going well at present. Sepia Belle looked on the upgrade at Chepstow on latest and is another on the short list.
