Lucky Question^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 44

7/1

Modest gelding. First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and others are more persuasive.

Form: 4-36406

(7)

Marayel^p,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 50

11/4

Modest gelding. 12/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Up in trip and tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. Shortlist material.

Form: 55-5804

(4)

No Such Luck^h,t¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Ingram| OR: 42| CD

22/1

Poor gelding. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 10 in minor event at this C&D (AW, 25/1) 14 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 88-0996

Rainbow Sign^t³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 44| C

17/2

Modest gelding. Course winner. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 36 days ago. Back up in trip and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 623574

(8)

Sunset In Paris⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 49| CD

13/2

Modest gelding. C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in March. Below form fourth of 9 in minor event (9/1) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 6 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 711444

Forecasts

Marayel (11/4), Daphne May (11/2), Sunset In Paris (13/2), Forever Proud (7/1), Lucky Question (7/1), Come On John (15/2), Rainbow Sign (17/2), Certain Style (16/1), No Such Luck (22/1), Beau Geste (40/1)

Supporting a 16-race maiden isn't generally advisable but MARAYEL is an exception on the back of his eye-catching effort over a mile here a fortnight ago. The combination of this drop in grade and step up in trip could be just the ticket. C&D winners Sunset In Paris and Forever Proud are feared most in that order of preference, but cases can also be made for Come On John and the selection's stablemate Daphne May.
