Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 96

18/1

Didn't achieve a great deal when winning a 2m Ffos Las maiden in May 2023 but he returns from a 421-day absence as an unexposed handicap newcomer. Tongue tied first time. Interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Form: 443/1-

Kintaro^p³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 95

10/1

Struggled on the Flat this year but better signs when placed in 2m novice hurdles at Bangor and Worcester last month. Headgear goes on for the first time over hurdles. Respected handicap newcomer.

Form: 832

Greystoke^p1,t1²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: J D Frost| OR: 90| C

22/1

Won a 2m course novice hurdle for Alan King in May 2022 but has been unable to make an impact in 4 handicaps since joining this yard at the beginning of 2024. A first-time tongue tie and cheekpieces combination needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 26/55-59

Karannelle^h,t¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: James Bowen| T: D A Rees| OR: 90| C

12/1

Better than the result on a few occasions in recent weeks, including C&D, and she's the sort who could pop up at some point from her falling mark.

Form: 20P-575

Oval Street^b³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Fergus Gillard| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 87

22/1

Multiple point winner but only modest form in varied events under Rules so far, finishing sixth of 10 in 2m Stratford novice handicap hurdle 33 days ago.

Form: 3542-36

Good Impression¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Ben Jones| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 87| C

11/2

Successful twice around 2m here last summer and served notice that he may be ready to strike again when 2 lengths second of 10 at Stratford at the beginning of this month. On the shortlist.

Form: 26-4782

Coup De Gold³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Eleanor Williams⁽⁷⁾| T: Evan Williams| OR: 83| D

12/1

Won over 17f at Sedgefield for David Thompson in January. Back to form for new yard when third at Ffos Las in May but beaten before stamina should have been an issue over 26.5f here since. Significantly back down in trip now.

Form: 144-F39

Miss Marette¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Callum Pritchard⁽⁷⁾| T: C J Down| OR: 83

22/1

Came good in a weak mares' maiden at Exeter last autumn but has just the one creditable effort to her name in handicaps since. Others are preferred.

Form: 1034-P5

Outback Frontiers⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Caoilin Quinn⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 79| D

9/2

Back to winning ways in 18.5f Stratford conditional jockeys' event last Sunday. Escapes a penalty and Caoilin Quinn can use his 3 lb claim in this race. Obvious chance.

Form: 28/0-471

Future Times⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: G F Edwards| OR: 79

80/1

Modest maiden on the Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe and well held all 3 starts over timber for current yard. Big step forward required on handicap debut in this sphere.

Form: 96-8

Eurkash^t1¹⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: James Owen| OR: 73

6/4

Only win for Paul Webber came back in 2020 but has a basement mark to work with having switched to James Owen. Tongue tied first time. Gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the market speak in his favour.

Form: 3/244P6-

Captain Bill^b1⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 71

80/1

No encouragement in a bumper/3 hurdles. Low-grade handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance but first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) will still need to spark major improvement.

Form: 0/P0-9

Forecasts

Eurkash (6/4), Outback Frontiers (9/2), Good Impression (11/2), Kintaro (10/1), Karannelle (12/1), Coup De Gold (12/1), Juggernaut (18/1), Oval Street (22/1), Greystoke (22/1), Miss Marette (22/1), Future Times (80/1), Captain Bill (80/1)

EURKASH has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change and is worth chancing in a first-time tongue tie. Outback Frontiers is unpenalised for last Sunday's Stratford success and rates an obvious danger. Kintaro and Good Impression also make the shortlist.
