33/1

28/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Easy enough to look elsewhere on recent evidence.

(5)

Lunarscape^t⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68

12/1

Confirmed return to form when second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 11/2) 11 weeks ago, caught further back than ideal. First run for yard after leaving Eve Johnson Houghton (15,000 gns). Not taken lightly.

Form: 070922

(2)

Still Standing^p⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 65

125/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Again made little impact when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft, 16/1) just over 6 weeks ago. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last run.

Form: 365376

Malacanne⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: D Donovan| OR: 67

40/1

16/1, looked rusty after 12 weeks off when eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 68 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Worth a second look in the market.

Form: 157488

(6)

Snooze Lane^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 61| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 15/2, fared better down a touch in grade when third of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) just over 3 weeks ago. Must build on that now.

Form: 594503

(3)

Secret Sauce^p,t¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: Anthony Charlton| OR: 59WS

33/1

Well held in juvenile hurdle (12/1) at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 5 months ago, going in snatches. Makes tapeta debut. Warrants a market check back on the level (has had a breathing operation).

Form: 09-2641

Forecasts

Outgun (5/2), Goldsmith (3/1), Charlie's Choice (7/2), Phantasy Mac (11/2), Snooze Lane (15/2), Lunarscape (12/1), Secret Sauce (33/1), Awtaad Prince (33/1), Malacanne (40/1), Robert Walpole (100/1), Still Standing (125/1)

GOLDSMITH has been knocking at the door of late and Alice Haynes' charge is fancied to go one better than at Lingfield last week at the expense of Lunarscape, who has hit the crossbar on her last couple of starts and may have to settle for another silver medal on first start for this yard. Phantasy Mac and Outgun can fight out minor honours.
