Thapa VC^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Watson| T: M G Rimell| OR: 72| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Ran poorly when seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Now 2 lb below last winning mark and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 516977

How Impressive^t,v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 72| D

3/1

7/1 and visored for 1st time, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon. Still to win a handicap but could be ready to strike with Murphy on board for the first time.

Form: 255403

Silver Screen¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Coakley| T: Jack Jones| OR: 70| D

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 7/2, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, denied a run over 1f out. Was well supported last time and she can get in the mix from a slightly reduced mark.

Form: 525476

Ideal Guest^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 67| D

8/1

5/1, bounced back to his best to take full advantage of a sliding mark to win 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 2 weeks ago. Could prove vulnerable back up in the weights, however.

Form: 574331

(7)

Maharajas Express²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 72

10/1

Hooded for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, soft, 28/1) 25 days ago. Better showing anticipated back on the all-weather.

Form: 12-8808

(10)

Hul Ah Bah Loo¹¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 67| C

33/1

Course winner in February. Probably remained in form when fifth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at this course (8f, AW), needing stronger gallop. Off 4 months and merits consideration if ready to roll.

Form: 414235

(3)

Saturnalia¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Hughes| OR: 72| BF| D

4/1

Ran well and probably deserves a bit of extra credit having made his bid on the far flank when second of 7 in handicap on turf course here (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 18 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 267562

Red Hat Eagle^h1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W J Knight| OR: 70

8/1

16/1, fared no better than on reappearance when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 33-79

(13)

Perfect Focus⁴⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: L Carter| OR: 64

100/1

5/2, respectable second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 16 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Henry Spiller. Watching brief advised.

Form: 4/82862-

(2)

Chorus Line^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68| D

25/1

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 8-16444

Dicko The Legend²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, tailed-off last of 7 in handicap at Sandown (8f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Makes polytrack debut.

Form: 377-67

Ajrad¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: M J Attwater| OR: 57| CD

28/1

C&D winner. 11/1, took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Sound each-way claims.

Form: 854865

(12)

Purple Poppy¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 51| CD

10/1

C&D winner in April. Good second of 9 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (AW) 15 days ago. Holding her form well at present, so fancied to be involved.

Form: 50-3122

How Impressive (3/1), Saturnalia (4/1), Thapa VC (6/1), Ideal Guest (8/1), Silver Screen (8/1), Red Hat Eagle (8/1), Purple Poppy (10/1), Maharajas Express (10/1), Blue Flame (20/1), Chorus Line (25/1), Dicko The Legend (28/1), Ajrad (28/1), Hul Ah Bah Loo (33/1), Perfect Focus (100/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for HOW IMPRESSIVE, who did too much too soon under an aggressive ride when third at Haydock earlier this month and with Oisin Murphy on board for the first time, Hugo Palmer's 4-y-o can break his duck in handicap company at the expense of Silver Screen, who didn't get the rub of the green last time and lurks on a dangerous mark. Purple Poppy and Thapa Vc can fight out minor honours.
