Dirtyoldtown⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 81| CD

14/1

Making his third start for Dylan Cunha, signed off last year by springing a surprise in 17-runner event at this C&D in November. Well held at Doncaster on his return, but he remains on a good mark based on old form.

Form: 90801-0

Great Max¹³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

9/2

Without a win since debut but there were better signs than he had been showing on his final 2 starts last year. Raced too freely at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in January, so he's no discounted back down in trip on first run since leaving Michael Bell.

Form: 06745-7

Powerdress³²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 80| C

40/1

Made a winning debut here in April 2022 and ran well after 12-month absence when third in conditions race over C&D on her next outing. However, well held all 3 starts since and has been off 10 months ahead of her first start since leaving Richard Hannon.

Form: 1/3008-

Hat Toss¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: James Owen| OR: 80| D

6/1

Winner for David Loughnane at Sandown last summer and, with a hood refitted, left behind his stable debut effort when fourth of 8 at Bath (8f) 13 days ago, despite meeting trouble in running. Enters calculations.

Form: 1527-64

Double Time^h¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 79

7/4

Stepped up on his recent run when second of 13 at Yarmouth (8f) 19 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently and racing on the other side of the track to the other principals. Could be ready to get back to winning ways.

Form: 2337-62

Duc De Morny⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Tom Clover| OR: 79| D

25/1

Won his first 2 starts in 2022 when trained in France. Showed more than previously for his current yard when fourth of 9 at Kempton (8f) in March, but failed to repeat that effort at Chelmsford next time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 97-9840

(4)

Royal Parade¹³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 78

80/1

Doubled his tally at Goodwood (6f) last summer but below that level for the remainder of the campaign. Finished well held on first run since leaving Michael Appleby at Kempton in January, so he has work to do after a break.

Form: 98407-0

(3)

Flying Secret³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| D

8/1

Recorded back-to-back wins in June last year and wasn't discredited after 6 months off when fourth of 12 at Southwell (7.1f) in April, left with a lot to do. Successful second time out last season so he could be in the mix.

Form: 35386-4

(1)

Outrun The Storm¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| D

8/1

Not at his best towards the end of last season, but proved determined back from 6 months off when landing a Newcastle handicap (7.1f) in April. Creditable third at the same C&D 16 days ago and he can give another good account.

Form: 7866-13

(6)

Noodle Mission²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Smyth-Osbourne| OR: 72| BF| D

12/1

Built on the promise of his seasonal/stable debut when returning to winning ways at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in March. Again ran well at Chelmsford City (7f) next time, but task is now to transfer that form to turf.

Form: 084-312

(7)

Royal Musketeer⁶⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Hayley Turner| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 67| CD

16/1

C&D winner who bounced back to form when scoring at Southwell (7.1f) in December. However, he's gone backwards from that effort this year, eleventh of 12 back at Southwell on his latest outing. Others preferred.

Form: 391-580

Forecasts

Double Time (7/4), Great Max (9/2), Hat Toss (6/1), Outrun The Storm (8/1), Flying Secret (8/1), King Of Fury (8/1), Mubhijah (8/1), Noodle Mission (12/1), Feel The Need (12/1), Dirtyoldtown (14/1), Royal Musketeer (16/1), Duc De Morny (25/1), Powerdress (40/1), Royal Parade (80/1)

With his reappearance run behind him, DOUBLE TIME shaped best when second at Yarmouth 19 days ago, headed only close home, and he can build on that effort to go one better. Outrun The Storm has returned in good heart and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Hat Toss.
