Another Romance^t²⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 97| D

5/2

Progressed into a very useful 6f performer last season. Not seen for 8 months but won on her 2022 reappearance. Respected despite top weight.

Form: 333127-

Lethal Nymph²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 95| BF| D

18/5

Looked progressive when landing back-to-back Ascot handicaps last September. Off 8 months before fading sixth of 9 at Windsor (6f) 24 days ago. Merits consideration with that run under his belt.

Form: 47110-6

Dubai Station^p,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: S C Williams| OR: 93| D

40/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others are preferred.

Form: 3-51706

(4)

Juan Les Pins⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 91| CD

3/1

Resurgent for his current yard last term, winning 4 in a row and third in Ayr Gold Cup final start. Shaped better than result when eleventh of 21 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, soft, 22/1) 40 days ago, nearest finish. Back on a workable mark.

Form: 1173-50

(3)

Gulliver^p,t⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

6/1

Twenty five runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, nearest finish.

Form: 6000-04

(2)

Mokaatil^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 16/1, bit below form ninth of 20 in Epsom Dash (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Now below last winning mark.

Form: 5634-99

(5)

Temple Bruer^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 83| D

8/1

Made it 4 wins in only 7 starts for this yard when shrugging off a poor run on his Brighton reappearance to win at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Dangerous to rule out further progress.

Form: 2113-91

Forecasts

Another Romance (5/2), Juan Les Pins (3/1), Lethal Nymph (18/5), Gulliver (6/1), Mokaatil (15/2), Temple Bruer (8/1), Dubai Station (40/1)

A very useful sprint in which the vote goes to LETHAL NYMPH who shaped as if needing the run on his Windsor reappearance and could be spot on now. Temple Bruer only got a 3 lb nudge for his recent Doncaster success and is second choice ahead of the reopposing Another Romance.
