Object^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

7/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Went with some spark after just 5 days off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Needs to build on that here.

3/1

Posted another creditable effort when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, heavy, 4/1) 2 weeks ago, no extra final 1f. Blinkers back on.

Form: 4-45234

Papabella²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-7| J: Mrs Jo Supple| T: W S Kittow| OR: 58

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, shaped as if better for the run after 12 weeks off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f, soft) 4 weeks ago. More needed.

Form: 34-705

(4)

Rhubarb¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: R J Price| OR: 55| CD

7/2

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 14/1) 2 weeks ago, leading inside final 1f. Up 3 lb and expected to be bang there under the most experienced rider in this field.

Form: 383661

Alfred Cove²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| D

9/1

25/1, returned to form from out of the blue when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. Task is now to back that up.

Form: 400592

(5)

Monsieur Fantaisie^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 52

7/1

Might have needed the run after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft, 13/2) 2 weeks ago. Drops a further 2 lb and worth keeping a close eye on in the market.

Form: 3-52506

Tommytwohoots²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Stephanie Dorey⁽⁷⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 46

7/1

Ran to just a poor level after 5 months off when seventh of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tough to warm to.

Form: 976207

Ellie Piper⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45| D

33/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, looked awkward when last of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 10 weeks ago. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Willingly (3/1), Object (7/2), Rhubarb (7/2), Tommytwohoots (7/1), Monsieur Fantaisie (7/1), Alfred Cove (9/1), Papabella (14/1), Ellie Piper (33/1)

This can go to RHUBARB, who got her head in front for the first time this season over C&D 2 weeks ago and, on the back of a small rise, Richard Price's 6-y-o can follow up under the experienced Serena Brotherton. Alfred Cove returned to form from out of the blue when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Monsieur Fantaisie taken to fill third place.
