10/1

Winner at Chelmsford in February. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 40/1) 19 days ago, ridden home turn and never a threat. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt and better showing anticipated.

Who Loves You Baby¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Adam Tracey⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 55

5/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, improved on exploits on maiden/novice events when second of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago, no extra late on but nicely clear of the remainder. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 0662

Dee's Dream¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mr Taylor Fisher| T: M J Attwater| OR: 54

7/2

Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 66/1) 19 days ago, ridden over 2f out and one paced. Steps up further in trip now.

Form: 2-66767

4/1

8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, firm) 3 days ago, plugging on. Not entirely dismissed stepping back up in trip.

Form: 668-565

(6)

Rhea Of The Year^p1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rose Dawes⁽³⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 50

8/1

50/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 33 days ago, losing her footing early and merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and another who needs to step up in any case to figure.

Form: 868-608

Manxman²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Luke Catton| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 45

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 10 in maiden at Leicester (8.2f, good) 25 days ago, never travelling well and weakening 2f out. In good hands at least and very much bred to be suited by this trip, so no surprise to see a better showing now handicapping.

Forecasts

Who Loves You Baby (5/2), Dee's Dream (7/2), Manxman (4/1), Highland Flyer (4/1), Little Tiger (7/1), Rhea Of The Year (8/1), Foinix (10/1)

WHO LOVES YOU BABY showed much-improved form when just touched off on handicap debut at Yarmouth 3 days ago (nicely on top of the remainder) and she earns the vote to come out on top stepping up in trip. Manxman is far from living up to his pedigree but this longer trip could help now handicapping from a basement mark. Foinix can also feature.
