3/1

7/2, won 12-runner handicap at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago by nose from Prince Hector, just failing (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Not taken lightly nudged up just 2 lb.

Meng Tian²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S D Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Woods| OR: 55| CD

15/2

Course winner in April. 20/1, back to form when sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 26 days ago, keeping on without landing a blow. Can give another good account.

Form: 32-5156

Bakersboy^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 55| BF

15/2

One win from 34 Flat runs. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (10/11) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 10 days ago, collared close home having briefly looked in control when quickening clear early in straight (traded 1.08 in-running).

Form: 2/06442

City Escape^b,e/s¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 54| CD

18/1

3-time C&D winner. Ran just respectably when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago. Mark continues to ease but others look stronger.

Form: 883485

(3)

Prince Hector^p²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 53| CD

9/4

C&D winner in December. Second of 12 to High Court Judge in handicap (8/1) at this course (9.5f) 26 days ago, just holding on (first past the post but subsequently disqualified having carried rival off a true line). 12/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 2 days ago.

Red Dwarf^p1³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52

14/1

Winner at Southwell in April. Seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed when sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 4/1) 32 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 432316

(13)

Starshot¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: J Bedi| OR: 52

22/1

Shaped encouragingly from a long way back when fifth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 22/1) 17 days ago. One to keep an eye on.

Form: 84-0785

(4)

Wallaroo¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 52| CD

12/1

Course winner. 9/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9-53826

(7)

Warrior Square^v¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 52

25/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Run best excused when pulled up in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 10/1) 10 days ago, saddle slipped early on and heavily eased after 3f.

Form: 9-1109P

(9)

Pelissanne¹⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: D Menuisier| OR: 48

50/1

Fared no better when sixth of 7 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 200/1) 5 months ago. Makes handicap debut. Upped slightly in trip and could prove a different proposition from such a lowly mark.

Form: 47-6

(6)

Dirty Barry⁷⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Grace McEntee⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 45

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, again showed little when last of 9 on handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) 2 years ago. Makes all-weather debut and can only be watched given the absence.

Form: 0649/

(5)

Streetstorm³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 45

66/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft, 150/1) 34 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Christine Dunnett. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 700809

Garden View¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Rooke| T: M D I Usher| OR: 55

9/1

25/1, ran best race when third of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 10 days ago, suited by the step up in trip. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 052863

Forecasts

Prince Hector (9/4), High Court Judge (3/1), Bakersboy (15/2), Meng Tian (15/2), Garden View (9/1), Wallaroo (12/1), Red Dwarf (14/1), City Escape (18/1), Starshot (22/1), Warrior Square (25/1), Pelissanne (50/1), Streetstorm (66/1), Dirty Barry (66/1)

Cases can be made for several, but the vote goes to sole 3-y-o GARDEN VIEW, who as anticipated was suited by a step up in trip when third at this track 10 days ago and Mark Usher's filly should have more to offer as her stamina is drawn out further. She can get the better of High Court Judge, who was awarded the race from Prince Hector here earlier in the month, with Starshot and handicap-debutante Pelissanne another couple worth mentioning.
