(4)

Power of Darkness^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82| D

10/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 14/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and capable of taking a hand in the finish off this reduced mark if able to bounce back.

Form: 9-58379

(1)

Bling On The Music⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 82

7/2

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 54 days ago. Fair bit to prove on the back of that inauspicious display.

Form: 5/2271-8

(6)

United Front⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

4/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 55 days ago. Back down in trip and one to consider with William Buick in the hot-seat.

Form: 43-8435

(7)

Lady Eros¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80

6/4

Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Ascot (10f, soft) 19 days ago. Very much of interest with that run under her belt, back down in trip here on faster ground.

Form: 2142-5

(2)

Keyser Soze^b²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: R Spencer| OR: 80| D

13/2

Latest win at Kempton in January. Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good, 40/1) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 2 lb lower now and not without each-way hope.

Form: 07-1806

(8)

Chief's Will^p⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: A Watson| OR: 78| D

16/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 56 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 251269

(3)

Goddess Of Fire^p²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Adam Tracey⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 72| CD

28/1

Three-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) when last seen 7 months ago. Now 3 lb below last winning mark and couldn't rule out.

Form: 339755-

(5)

Total Lockdown^h²²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 72

33/1

25/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f). Off 7 months and significantly back down in trip. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 421560-

Forecasts

Lady Eros (6/4), Bling On The Music (7/2), United Front (4/1), Keyser Soze (13/2), Power of Darkness (10/1), Chief's Will (16/1), Goddess Of Fire (28/1), Total Lockdown (33/1)

The most appealing of these is LADY EROS, who should be all the better for her reappearance spin at Ascot and both the drop back to this trip and quicker ground are factors that will be in her favour. Power of Darkness has slipped to an attractive mark and the 8-y-o is next on the list ahead of United Front and multiple C&D winner Goddess of Fire.
