War Chant¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 72| CD

7/2

Much improved when rattling off quick-fire hat-trick in handicaps at around 1m last summer, including over C&D. 9/1, good third of 15 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) on return 19 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 11170-3

Bernadine⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 72| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 13/2) 43 days ago. Back at the scene of her last victory having dipped in the weights.

Form: 1267-34

Island Native^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 71| D

16/1

Won twice on AW at the start of the year. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this is much easier.

Form: 126320

King Of Fury^h1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: T Kent| OR: 70

15/2

After 6 months off, ran well on form despite looking a hard ride when second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f) 29 days ago, racing freely/hanging left. Needs to build on that with hood now reached for.

Form: 3320-2

(6)

Equion²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 69| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Off 6 months. Might need this.

Parish Councillor¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 69| D

50/1

Won at Newcastle in February 2023. 22/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 14 days ago, eased down once his chance had gone. Dropped another 3 lb.

Form: 19-5589

(8)

Soi Dao²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 67| CD

6/1

Won 11-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago. Has had plenty of racing but she's returned to turf better than ever.

Form: 126731

(5)

Egoiste³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Kyle Strydom| T: D Menuisier| OR: 66

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 14/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 31 days ago, very slowly away. Jury out on him on turf.

Form: 224114

(3)

Beylerbeyi⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62| BF

7/4

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, well-backed 3/1) 6 days ago, no match for unexposed impressive winner but clear of rest. Big player.

Form: 209252

Forecasts

Beylerbeyi (7/4), War Chant (7/2), Soi Dao (6/1), Bernadine (15/2), King Of Fury (15/2), Egoiste (14/1), Island Native (16/1), Equion (22/1), Parish Councillor (50/1)

BEYLERBEYI chased home an unexposed one probably destined for better things at Yarmouth on Monday and has every chance from the same mark if backing that performance up. Soi Dao has returned to turf in top form and has a good shout again. War Chant is another to consider.
