Mafia Power^b1¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 70| BF| D

13/2

On a long-losing run and is yet to fire this season, so needs the application of blinkers to have a positive effect.

Form: 3338-03

(10)

Broad Appeal⁶⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr J Harding| T: J G Portman| OR: 67| D

14/1

Returned to action with a creditable second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield a couple of months ago and he's well treated on the pick of his efforts. One to consider.

Form: 05377-2

(5)

My Brother Mike³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr Adam O'Shea⁽⁵⁾| T: J T Stimpson| OR: 66| D

9/1

Inconsistent type who arrives on the back of a poor run at Chepstow, so others make more appeal.

Form: 1-26930

(12)

Classy Dame¹⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 65| BF| D

6/1

5/2, first run since leaving Robert Eddery when creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton 3 months ago. Could improve on second outing for shrewd yard, so makes plenty of appeal back on turf.

Form: 44-2253

(9)

Engrave^p²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 65| D

17/2

Consistent sort who had the run of the race when a respectable third of 5 at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Doesn't have much in hand, but partnered by one of the more experienced riders.

Form: 234623

(7)

Gert Lush³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 64

10/1

Fair handicapper who wasn't disgraced at Windsor last time but appears vulnerable to better-treated rivals.

Form: 5852-06

(8)

King's Castle⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 64| D

11/1

Hasn't won for a while and recent efforts don't suggest he's going to buck the trend any time soon.

Form: 25-0270

(1)

Papas Boy^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 62

18/1

Fair form in maiden/novices last summer. Cheekpieces added when third in a handicap at Bath on reappearance 16 days ago, but needs to do more to defy this mark.

Form: 4433-3

(4)

Licit¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss C R Crane⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

7/2

Hasn't won for a while and, while her latest third at Haydock was a solid showing, consistency isn't her strong suit.

Form: 62529-3

(2)

Thermal³³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Dr Misha Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57| D

12/1

Tricky ride who wasn't disgraced at Lingfield and has been eased a couple of pounds by the handicapper since. Regular rider is back on board.

Form: 94186-5

(6)

The Game Is On^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Guy Mitchell⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 56| D

9/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020, but he's been running at least respectably of late and his mark is a fair one. Not totally ruled out.

Form: 2-67426

(3)

Born To Please^p⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Cameron Johnstone-Baker⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 49| D

40/1

Runner-up over hurdles at Uttoxeter 82 days ago but her Flat record is most uninspiring.

Form: 5/306-88

Forecasts

Licit (7/2), Classy Dame (6/1), Mafia Power (13/2), Engrave (17/2), My Brother Mike (9/1), The Game Is On (9/1), Gert Lush (10/1), King's Castle (11/1), Thermal (12/1), Broad Appeal (14/1), Papas Boy (18/1), Born To Please (40/1)

CLASSY DAME made a positive start for Archie Watson at Wolverhampton 3 months ago and, while he's better known for his AW exploits, he has a turf win to his name, so he's a confident choice under Brodie Hampson. Engrave should go well from the front under Ross Birkett and Broad Appeal is no forlorn hope.
