Thoughtful Gift^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Jack Jones| OR: 51| D

8/15

Modest mare. 6/5, career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago by 2 lengths from Rainbow Sign, readily. Should be able to go in again.

Form: 6/35-231

(7)

He's Our Star^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 41| D

22/1

Poor gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 000-750

(3)

Kraken Diamond^p1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 50

4/1

Modest gelding. 12/1, first run since leaving John McConnell when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and step back up in trip will suit, so worth a market check.

Form: 0/0000-8

(6)

Kumari Star³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 45

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving George Baker when last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 50/1) 35 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Difficult ask.

Form: 686-0

(2)

Lightning Attack^p¹⁰⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 48| D

80/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 104 days ago. Off 104 days. Back down in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Others make more appeal.

Form: 842/009-

(8)

Portraitist^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 49

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (11f) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 950-58

(4)

Profitar Rules³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R A Teal| OR: 43

12/1

Modest gelding. Sixth of 8 in minor event at this course (7f, 5/1) 32 days ago. Needs to up his game.

Form: 1650-46

(1)

Rainbow Sign^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 46

6/1

Modest gelding. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, good 2 lengths second of 11 to Thoughtful Gift in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly.

Form: 6275-62

Forecasts

Thoughtful Gift (8/15), Kraken Diamond (4/1), Rainbow Sign (6/1), Profitar Rules (12/1), Portraitist (20/1), He's Our Star (22/1), Kumari Star (33/1), Lightning Attack (80/1)

THOUGHTFUL GIFT is going the right way and had plenty to spare when beating Rainbow Sign at Lingfield last time, so she should be able to uphold the form with that rival. Kraken Diamond shaped better than the result last time, so he's worth monitoring in the betting on just his second start for his current stable.
