9/2

11/1, last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 28 days ago. Holds good chance at these weights though if back on track.

(5)

Capricorn Prince^p³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

11/4

Unreliable individual. Last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft, 28/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 273-170

(1)

Ray's The One⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: M Pattinson| OR: 57

9/1

17/2, below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Modest on the Flat so more is needed back in this sphere.

Form: 1/4558-6

(3)

Dereham⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: John Berry| OR: 57| D

6/1

Off 6 months before fading fifth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (21.6f, good to soft, 10/1) 45 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Needs considering.

Form: 71060-5

(7)

Tradesman^b1³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 997-60

(4)

Das Kapital^p¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: John Berry| OR: 53

10/3

Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 19 days ago, slowly away. Unreliable individual.

Form: 236-326

(8)

Savoy Brown⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52

6/1

4/5, won 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 73 days ago. Had a bit in hand there so holds leading claims back in handicap company.

Form: 78-4421

(2)

Ulysses^v²⁰⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-9| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

80/1

80/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good). Off 6 months. Poor on last Flat outing so others appeal more.

Form: 68/6770-

Forecasts

Capricorn Prince (11/4), Das Kapital (10/3), Prince Abu (9/2), Dereham (6/1), Savoy Brown (6/1), Ray's The One (9/1), Tradesman (10/1), Ulysses (80/1)

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so SAVOY BROWN is taken to follow up his cosy Lingfield success back in handicap company. Prince Abu is weighted to have a big say if on his A-game, with Dereham another who enters calculations if, as expected, building on his reappearance Pontefract fifth.
