Sir Titan¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58| C

6/1

Ended long losing run at Lingfield (8f) in January. Good effort next time but below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at the same course (7f, 11/2) 17 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to this longer trip.

Form: 227-127

(6)

King Of Speed^t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58| CD

6/4

Successful at this C&D last month and again ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 6 days ago. Respected in his current form.

Form: 34-5312

Egoiste⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier| OR: 57| BF

3/1

Has been in good heart this year, needing a stronger gallop when fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 7/4) 9 days ago. Could be ready to get back to winning ways.

Form: 88-2224

Edmund Ironside^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 56

13/2

Finally off the mark at Lingfield in November and soon left behind a lesser effort when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 122-484

Pink Jazz^b³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 54| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Back in headgear, below expectations (4/1) when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) a month ago. Interesting to see if supported in the market once more.

Form: 0794-46

(3)

Pop Favorite^b²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 53

25/1

Three wins from 22 runs last year and added to his tally at Newcastle (8f) in January. Shaped as if still in form when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at the same C&D 20 days ago, again racing freely. Not discounted.

Form: 9-45145

(5)

Luxy Lou¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 52

80/1

Won at Lingfield and Bath last season but ended the year out of form, again slowly away when eleventh of 12 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7.2f) in November. Others preferred back up in trip on her return.

Spring Romance^p,t⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| C

16/1

Course winner but twenty runs since his last success back in 2021. In first-time visor, again below form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 14/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces now reapplied.

Form: 963369

Forecasts

King Of Speed (6/4), Egoiste (3/1), Sir Titan (6/1), Edmund Ironside (13/2), Pink Jazz (9/1), Spring Romance (16/1), Pop Favorite (25/1), Luxy Lou (80/1)

EGOISTE has been shaping up well in 2024, looking unlucky not to win (conceded first run) when second at Kempton in February before needing a stronger gallop at the same course last time. He can gain a first win of the year, though King of Speed also arrives in good form and isn't taken lightly. Edmund Ironside completes the shortlist.
