(8)

Love Billy Boy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

6/1

Has made a solid start to this season, again running creditably when second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 9/2) 13 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 338-822

(1)

Secret Bid²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 84| D

11/1

Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago by 1½ lengths from Sky Warrior. Still unexposed in handicaps and further improvement is a distinct possibility.

Form: 421-91

(3)

Mickley⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 83| D

13/8

Has progressed with each run and looked an exciting prospect when winning 10-runner runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f) 66 days ago, storming clear. Opening mark appeals as lenient and he's the one to beat.

Form: 43-1

(4)

Sky Warrior²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: C G Cox| OR: 81| C

10/1

Won second time up over 6f here last year. Improved for the switch to a handicap when 1½ lengths second of 8 to Secret Bid (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Respected.

Form: 41-72

(6)

Call To Action²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 81

14/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing odds in 10-runner maiden at Newcastle (5f) before leaving Kevin Ryan. Similar form when when second of 12 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. No chances taken with his opening mark.

Form: 212

(2)

Jungle Mac²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 79

7/1

Won at Chelmsford City in February. 25/1, creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 27 days ago, rallying. Respected from the same mark.

Form: 322-134

(5)

Saviour^t¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: H Palmer| OR: 77WS

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut. Consistent rather progressive at 2 yrs and others make more appeal on return.

Form: 334-

(7)

Mono River^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

5/1

Forecasts

Mickley (13/8), Mono River (5/1), Love Billy Boy (6/1), Jungle Mac (7/1), Sky Warrior (10/1), Secret Bid (11/1), Saviour (11/1), Call To Action (14/1)

MICKLEY impressed both visually and on the clock when scoring at Southwell in March and looks to have been let off lightly for his handicap debut, so gets the verdict over Love Billy Boi, who has held his form well in defeat this term and recent Lingfield winner Secret Bid.
