Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR: 80| CD

9/2

Justified support equipped with first-time blinkers when landing 8-runner C&D handicap in January. Weakened out of things very quickly when last of 12 back here 18 days ago and bounce back called for now.

Form: 2767-10

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 79| C| D

Temple Bruer^p,t¹⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 77| D

15/2

5-time winner for present yard, his latest success coming at Newmarket (6f) last June. Mixed bag on turf/AW followed but he's fallen back down to an attractive mark. Cheekpieces replace blinkers for return.

High Velocity¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76| C| D

25/1

Course winner. 50/1, built on belated return/yard debut when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago, no extra final 1f. Needs more again now from easing mark.

Form: 435/9-05

Digital¹³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76| C| D

14/1

Ended long losing run in claimer at Kempton (6f) in October and similar form when third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) on final start for Karl Burke in November. Starts out for in-form yard on back of 132 days off and interesting what the market makes of him.

Westmorian¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 75| BF| C| D

16/5

Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, challenging final 1f and just failing. Possibilities again in present groove.

Form: 8-86312

Miss Bella Brand⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 73| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in November. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 87 days ago, losing place over 1f out. Others make greater appeal even allowing for the ease back down in grade.

Form: 04018-8

Glamorous Express^t⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| D

13/2

Eased a little in weights and thrived in recent weeks, noted travelling best as he supplemented his Kempton victory in good style at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago. Usual tongue tie refitted here and has to be respected under a penalty for all this rates tougher.

Form: 3-46211

(6)

Dandys Derriere^p,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 68| D

11/1

Three wins from 11 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in December. 9/1, respectable 2 lengths third of 8 to Westmorian in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Should go well again.

Form: 091-243

(5)

Em Jay Kay⁶³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 66| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 63 days ago, trapped wide with no cover and unable to land a blow. Better showing anticipated eased 2 lb.

Form: 445-248

Forecasts

One More Dream (3/1), Westmorian (16/5), Mountain Warrior (9/2), Glamorous Express (13/2), Temple Bruer (15/2), Dandys Derriere (11/1), Digital (14/1), Em Jay Kay (22/1), High Velocity (25/1), Miss Bella Brand (25/1)

A wide-open sprint handicap and with that in mind it could be worth chancing TEMPLE BRUER. A 5-time winner for his present yard, he returns from 5 months off on an appealing mark judged on the pick of his early-season form from this time last year and a headgear switch could also put an extra edge on him. Glamorous Express and Westmorian both arrive in good order and hold sound claims, as does One More Dream for all his mark has crept up again.
