Beyond Equal¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: L P Keniry| T: W S Kittow| OR: 75| CD

9/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. On a fair mark and one to consider.

3-time C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect when 5¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Magnificence in handicap (3/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 28 days ago, always on the back foot after a tardy start.

12/1

Confirmed promise of last run when winning 6-runner handicap at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 5/4) 5 days ago, unchallenged. Looks well-in under a penalty.

22/1

5-time course winner who seems to have gone off the boil, again below form when 3½ lengths sixth of 7 to Regal Envoy in handicap at this course (5f, firm, 11/2) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 54| BF| D

20/1

9/2, soon back to form when close third in 13-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, though was perhaps at an advantage in making his effort up the centre of the track. 1 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Beyond Equal (9/2), Cluedo (6/1), Apache Star (6/1), Magnificence (8/1), Delagate This Lord (9/1), Airshow (10/1), Sarah's Verse (12/1), Secret Handsheikh (12/1), Foreseeable Future (14/1), Connie's Rose (18/1), The Cola Kid (20/1), Fair And Square (20/1), Symbol of Hope (22/1), Fossos (22/1), Regal Envoy (25/1), Cabeza De Llave (28/1), Diamond Cottage (80/1)

SECRET HANDSHEIKH turned in his best performance for some time to run out a dominant winner at Brighton 5 days ago and is the percentage call to follow up under a penalty. Delagate This Lord wasn't seen to best effect in his hat-trick bid over C&D last month and is better judged on his previous form as a result, while 3-y-o Cluedo completes the shortlist.
