Peachey Carnehan^v²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 53| D

7/2

25/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. Lurking on a workable make and he's certainly capable of playing a leading role.

Form: 298379

(4)

Q Twenty Boy¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Emilie Hasselbalch-Holm⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 52| D

16/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 864065

(5)

Forever Dreaming^b³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: B R Millman| OR: 51| D

8/1

Winner at Southwell in February. 15/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. That was her first run on turf and possibilities here off 2 lb lower with blinkers refitted.

Form: 017605

(6)

Thegreatestshowman^p,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 51| D

13/2

Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm, 12/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and would be a threat if he were to put his best foot forward.

Form: 9-96548

(10)

Sir Sedric^v1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 50

8/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 34 days ago. Down 3 lb and could take a hand in the finish if the first-time visor helps spark a revival.

Form: 4960-68

(3)

Reckon I'm Hot^p,t³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48

6/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 22/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 31 days ago. Won't be far away granted a reproduction of that effort.

Form: 60-4632

(1)

Bluebell Way¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M Madgwick| OR: 46| D

22/1

20/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Brighton (6f, firm) 17 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-09965

(12)

Arlecchino's Gift^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45| D

22/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 7/1) 39 days ago. Readily passed over, for all that he's dipped to a basement mark.

Form: 005966

(9)

Macon Belle¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

14/1

16/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 543407

(7)

Pretty Green¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: R Bandey| OR: 45

80/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. First run since leaving Tony Carroll when seventh of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Bath (8f, firm) 17 days ago. Down in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 80556-7

(11)

Star Adorned^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: S Hodgson| OR: 50

22/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and it's hard to envisage this filly playing a leading role.

Form: 805-467

(8)

Penny Be⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Davies⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 47| BF

7/2

Good third of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 10/3) 8 days ago, very slowly away. Not sure that this drop back in trip will work in her favour (and will need to be quicker off the blocks this time) but she needs considering off the same mark all the same.

Form: 988953

Forecasts

Peachey Carnehan (7/2), Penny Be (7/2), Reckon I'm Hot (6/1), Thegreatestshowman (13/2), Forever Dreaming (8/1), Sir Sedric (8/1), Macon Belle (14/1), Q Twenty Boy (16/1), Arlecchino's Gift (22/1), Star Adorned (22/1), Bluebell Way (22/1), Pretty Green (80/1)

This looks wide open and there are plenty of ifs and buts to ponder. Perhaps RECKON I'M HOT will open his account at the twentieth time of asking having produced one of his best efforts to date (and by far his best on turf) when just touched off at Bath last month. Peachey Carnehan and Forever Dreaming are nominated as the main dangers, largely owing to the fact that dropping back to 6f may not help Penny Be, while Sir Sedric and Thegreatestshowman both need to turn things around.
