11/4

Firmly back on track when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 9/4) 5 days ago, well positioned. Remains well treated on old form and boasts strong claims.

Form: 60-3261

(9)

Hamnet⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Joe Leavy| T: George Baker| OR: 65

33/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 43 days ago. Has a bit to prove but worthy of a market check.

Form: 25/000-8

Awtaad Prince^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tommie Jakes| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 64

6/1

12/1 and hooded for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. Remains well treated and good shout if staying the longer trip.

(5)

Tortured Soul⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 59| D

13/8

5/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (12f) 8 days ago, soon clear. Carries penalty. Highly progressive for this yard and fancied to go in again.

Form: 81-1311

(10)

(8)

Restorer⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62| D

8/1

11/1, creditable 3¼ lengths fourth of 8 to At Liberty in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Can get involved if the pace is sound.

Form: 379-634

(6)

Gearing's Point²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Mikkel Mortensen| T: Miss S West| OR: 61| CD

C&D winner. Four wins from 8 runs last year. Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 24 days ago. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Not completely dismissed back in this sphere.

Form: 11152-5

Further Measure^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: C R Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 56| D

12/1

Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/1) 12 days ago, needing stiffer test. One to consider back up to a more suitable distance.

Form: 09-8483

(11)

Forecasts

Tortured Soul (13/8), At Liberty (11/4), Awtaad Prince (6/1), Restorer (8/1), Further Measure (12/1), Gearing's Point (14/1), Pablo Prince (18/1), Hamnet (33/1), Asense (40/1), Smith (80/1), Golden Keeper (100/1)

TORTURED SOUL is thriving and had plenty in hand at Kempton 8 days ago, so he gets the nod ahead of At Liberty, a similarly impressive winner last time. Awtaad Prince is another one to consider.
