13/2

In first-time cheekpieces, run best excused when eleventh of 18 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 20 days ago, poorly drawn. However, hadn't been in much form prior to her latest outing.

Form: 707-760

1/1

Got back to winning ways when making all in 7-runner apprentice handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 13/8) 9 days ago. The one to beat racing off the same mark as last time.

Form: 500-531

Dark Side Thunder^v1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75| D

7/2

Having recorded back-to-back wins on the all-weather, continued in good heart when third of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 16 days ago. Respected with visor on 1st time.

Form: 56-7113

Modular Magic¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: T D Barron| OR: 73

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. After 4 months off, shaped as if needing run when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good, 4/1) 16 days ago. Is on a workable mark if stepping forward from his recent run.

Form: 80-4286

After John⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 71| D

11/1

Completed hat-trick at Newcastle late last year and runner-up there in February. However, below form last 2 starts, seventh of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 10/1) 48 days ago.

Form: 1-47207

(2)

Asadjumeirah^p,t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 71| D

13/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Failed to build on promise of previous run when fourth of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) 37 days ago. Could fare better back down in trip with cheekpieces reapplied.

Form: 882454

(6)

Batchelor Boy^v1¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: J Gallagher| OR: 69| D

20/1

Stepped up on his reappearance when fourth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 18/1) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon. Visor now on 1st time as he drops back down in trip.

Form: 2803-54

Forecasts

Abate (1/1), Dark Side Thunder (7/2), Magnificence (13/2), Asadjumeirah (13/2), After John (11/1), Batchelor Boy (20/1), Modular Magic (22/1)

Having shaped well on his previous outing, ABATE resumed winning ways in good style at Hamilton 9 days ago and he can score again in his current form. Dark Side Thunder has also been going through a good spell of late and can give the selection most to think about, while Asadjumeirah is an interesting contender off his career-low mark.
