Biplane^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 65| D

14/1

Two wins at the start of last summer. Hasn't threatened in her 3 outings this year and can only watch for now.

Form: 283-056

Five Winds²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Charles Bishop| T: Jack Jones| OR: 64

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 15 on Chelmsford handicap debut (7f, 22/1) 28 days ago. Makes turf debut. That was a competitive race and she could have a big say if proving as effective on the grass.

Form: 43-64

Ratafia³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Herrington| OR: 62| D

9/4

Made it 3 wins in last 4 starts when seeing off 8 rivals on 7f Newcastle reappearance 32 days ago. Looked to do that a shade cosily so a 2 lb nudge may not prevent him going in again.

Form: 82112-1

Juryman¹⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward| OR: 62| CD

14/1

Unreliable type but did win over C&D (heavy) for William Jarvis last spring. Lost her way at the end of the season but back on a good mark as a result and needs a betting check on return for a new stable.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 61| D

7/1

Won at Redcar (7f) last June. Respectable 1¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Shark Two One in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) on final start. Reached the frame on last year's reappearance and her stable won this race last year.

12/1

9/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) on reappearance 17 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on. Should be sharper now.

10/1

14/1

Latest win at Leicester in October. 14/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) on reappearance 23 days ago. May come on for the outing.

Asadjumeirah⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell| T: A Brittain| OR: 56

Warrior Square^v³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: T Kent| OR: 53| D

8/1

Goes in search of a hat-trick after 7f wins at Kempton (classified) and Southwell (handicap) this year. Should go well if proving as effective on turf.

Form: 8489-11

(11)

Shotley Royale¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

33/1

Poor maiden. 20/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 18 days ago.

Form: 700-880

Forecasts

Ratafia (9/4), Alseeyerthere (7/1), Warrior Square (8/1), Five Winds (17/2), Asadjumeirah (9/1), Believe You Me (10/1), Onemorenomore (12/1), Mister Sox (12/1), Juryman (14/1), Shark Two One (14/1), Biplane (14/1), Shotley Royale (33/1)

RATAFIA is on a roll and a small rise for Newcastle may not prevent him making it 4 wins in his last 5 starts. Warrior Square is another in the winning groove at present and is second choice ahead of Five Winds, who is much less exposed than most of these and made a solid start to her handicap career at Chelmsford over Easter.
