(6)

Calin's Lad⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: N Callan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| D

3/1

13/8, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 7 days ago. Looks well treated under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 22-3351

(7)

Eagle Eyed Freddie^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 62| D

9/2

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 15/2) 12 days ago. Likely to give his running but a 4 lb rise means another career best will be required if he's to follow up.

Form: 4-31991

(3)

Rhubarb Bikini^v³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 61| CD

3/1

Ungenuine C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 33 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 66-4368

(1)

Galileo Glass²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 61| BF| D

10/3

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 29 days ago, running on late. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 0-96422

(2)

Simply Gorgeous³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 58| CD

10/1

C&D winner in February. 4/1, respectable third of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 87-4153

(5)

Damascus Finish^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: B R Johnson| OR: 57

17/2

Finally came good when seeing off 9 rivals at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, although he benefited from a canny front-running ride and doesn't strike as an obvious type to follow up.

Form: 57637-1

(4)

Compere^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56

50/1

Cheekpieces on first time, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (1¼m, 28/1) 26 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 5604-08

Forecasts

Calin's Lad (3/1), Rhubarb Bikini (3/1), Galileo Glass (10/3), Eagle Eyed Freddie (9/2), Damascus Finish (17/2), Simply Gorgeous (10/1), Compere (50/1)

CALIN'S LAD might be good to land a second win in quick succession. Galileo Glass has been knocking at the door lately and is feared most ahead of Mick Appleby's Eagle Eyed Freddie.
