Judicial⁶⁵

2/1

Smart gelding. C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in minor event (11/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 65 days ago, left poorly placed. Best not judged too harshly on that display and since undergone wind surgery.

Form: 831325-

Mehmento³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 98

9/4

Useful gelding. Three wins from 8 runs last year. 7/2, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 35 days ago, very much having run of race. This is a stiffer assignment.

Form: 0648-51

(4)

Venturous⁵⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 106| C| D

2/1

Useful gelding. 4-time course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. 25/1, career best when winning 5-runner minor event at this course (5f) 58 days ago, readily. Obvious chance on these terms.

Form: 14005-1

Ex Gratia⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| D

9/1

Twice-raced winner. Won 8-runner minor event (3/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago. Much more on her plate here, but she's unexposed and should have more to offer.

Form: 2-1

Forecasts

Venturous (2/1), Judicial (2/1), Mehmento (9/4), Ex Gratia (9/1)

JUDICIAL is only just entitled to beat Venturous on these terms, but a line can be drawn through his latest run and he'll prove hard to beat if able to bounce back following a wind operation. Julie Camacho's charge landed the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes on his sole previous visit here in 2020. Venturous is the clear main danger, but unexposed filly Ex Gratia shouldn't be underestimated.
