Aalto²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: J P Spencer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 87| D

7/2

Useful in France and back to that sort of level for his current yard, fifth of 17 in handicap at York (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Holds solid form claims.

Form: 107-245

Pjanoo^b1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: R Spencer| OR: 87

10/1

Scored at Wolverhampton in April and not disgraced when tenth of 15 at Sandown (8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpices and needs considering.

Form: 446-100

(9)

Love De Vega¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Johnston| OR: 83| D

17/2

Scored at Chelmsford City in February and continues in good nick, third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 15 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Form: 705033

Tanmawwy¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main| OR: 82| C

18/1

Course winner but only twelfth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Has work to do on that effort.

Form: 0-00500

(5)

Master Zoffany^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 82| D

16/1

Arrives out of sorts, last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 22 days ago. Lots more is required.

Form: 607007

(10)

Capital Guarantee²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: C Lee| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

28/1

A three-time 7f winner in 2023 but yet to fire this term, twelfth of 16 in handicap (28/1) at York (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Significantly more needed.

Form: 1159-00

(7)

Orbital Chime²⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: James Horton| OR: 77

40/1

Took a step forward in first-time blinkers when fourth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f). Off 9 months since though so needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.

Form: 4618/84-

(8)

Vicario^h1,t⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hector Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 84| BF

11/4

Lope De Vega filly who has progressed with each run, equipped with a tongue tie when neck second in 9-runner Newmarket maiden (7f) 78 days ago. Very much one to consider now going handicapping.

Form: 02-22

(6)

Bay Breeze¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76

50/1

Yet to hit top form this term, only fifth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 00-4465

(2)

Topanga^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 83| D

28/1

Lightly-raced winner but he came in last of 6 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the 1st time and possibilities back at 7f.

Form: 21-506

(3)

Sea The Dream¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 82| D

3/1

Made it 2-4 this year with a career best in 9-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's still weighted to go close.

Form: 33-1521

Forecasts

Vicario (11/4), Sea The Dream (3/1), Aalto (7/2), Love De Vega (17/2), Pjanoo (10/1), Master Zoffany (16/1), Tanmawwy (18/1), Topanga (28/1), Capital Guarantee (28/1), Orbital Chime (40/1), Bay Breeze (50/1)

SEA THE DREAM remains on a workable mark despite taking a 4 lb rise for his recent Catterick success so edges the vote in this tightly-knit handicap. Vicario could emerge as the main danger now she steps into handicap company, with in-form pair Love de Vega and Aalto well in the mix too.
