7/1

Won twice at Salisbury last summer. Off 6 months, fourth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 31 days ago. Something to find on form.

Crescent Lake¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 77| D

7/2

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (14f) 12 days ago, plenty in hand. Remains well handicapped on his best and more to come for this yard.

Form: 009-831

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J F Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 76| BF| CD

Age Of Sail¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 76| BF

11/1

Visored for 1st time, third of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 5/2) 170 days ago. Fairly useful maiden on the level for previous yard but Crescent Lake looks stronger for stable here.

Form: 6/44335-

Forge Valley Lad¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75| CD

7/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (15.8f, AW, 28/1) 11 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Back down in distance. Merits consideration.

Zhang Fei^p⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁷⁾| T: P & O Cole| OR: 72

28/1

Winner at Windsor in August. 13/2, 17 lengths last of 9 to Forge Valley Lad in handicap at this C&D (AW) 52 days ago. Should bounce back.

Form: 50633-9

Talap¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Pipe| OR: 71| D

16/1

Latest win at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in February. 16/1, first run since leaving Fabrice Vermeulen when ninth of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 212149

Theonlywayiswessex⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A King| OR: 67| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/2) 42 days ago, just holding on. This is tougher in hat-trick bid.

Form: 4/4V5-11

Forecasts

Tudor (2/1), Crescent Lake (7/2), Theonlywayiswessex (5/1), Forge Valley Lad (7/1), Whimsy (7/1), Age Of Sail (11/1), Talap (16/1), Zhang Fei (28/1)

CRESCENT LAKE has quickly fired for the in-form Gary Moore yard and can follow up his Chelmsford win. Tudor and Forge Valley Lad are both feared back over more suitable trips.
