Destinado^v⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 55| C

9/4

3/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago. 0-9 when tried over trips in excess of 1½m but he did go close over 13.3f at Chelmsford last spring and is an obvious player under a penalty.

Form: 311641

Basilette²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 53

10/1

25/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 25 days ago. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 56764-7

(6)

Billy Bathgate¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 52

6/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. 17/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back up in trip and can make his presence felt.

Form: 507-425

(5)

Socialist Agenda^b²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: L Morgan| OR: 49

9/2

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 12 in minor event (7/1) at this course (12.1f) 29 days ago. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 0856-63

(8)

Young Endless^b²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S Thomas| OR: 47

7/4

7/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 29 days ago. 1 lb lower now and he should be on the premises.

Form: 6/073-53

(7)

King Athelstan^t,v²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Sara Ender| OR: 46| C

50/1

Course winner. 33/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at this course (12.1f) 29 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 1380-70

(9)

Sociologist^b⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| C

22/1

Course winner. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Not certain to benefit from this step back up in trip.

Form: 040-094

(2)

Tiger Touch⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

100/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 11 in handicap (125/1) at this course (11.1f) 7 days ago. Up in trip and he looks set for another struggle.

Form: 805-808

(1)

Northern Rose^t1²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: G Hanmer| OR: 45

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 570/07-

Forecasts

Young Endless (7/4), Destinado (9/4), Socialist Agenda (9/2), Billy Bathgate (6/1), Basilette (10/1), Sociologist (22/1), King Athelstan (50/1), Northern Rose (80/1), Tiger Touch (100/1)

Despite some reservations regarding the suitability of this trip, DESTINADO has to be the call under a 5 lb penalty following his decisive victory here last week. Young Endless hasn't been with his present yard for long and a reproduction of his latest effort over 16.5f here would give him a chance, while Billy Bathgate and Socialist Agenda are also shortlisted.
