Al Rufaa^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: David Probert| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 82

13/2

Back on his last winning mark and represents yard in fine form. Excuses when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago, missing break and better expected back down in trip.

Form: 209640

(4)

Bluelight Bay^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 81| D

12/1

Couple of good efforts in defeat after winning at Salisbury last summer but hasn't pushed on from his reappearance this term and has something to prove in re-fitted cheekpieces.

Form: 40-6806

(10)

Al Muqdad¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

14/1

Four wins from 13 runs in what has already been a productive 2024. Career best for latest of them in 8-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago and he shapes as though well worth another go over 1m.

Form: 341141

(13)

Lough Leane¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: D M Simcock| OR: 76| BF| D

12/1

Racked up a 5-timer on the AW early in 2024 and proved that he's equally effective on turf when runner-up over C&D last month. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford last time and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 111523

(7)

Beylerbeyi¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J Mitchell| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76| D

11/2

Strong traveller who completed the hat-trick at Doncaster this month. Continued the excellent work when very good third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford last time, coming from a shade too far back, so he's still in top form.

Form: 231113

(8)

Mostawaa²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: H Main| OR: 75| D

14/1

Endured an underwhelming spell in Meydan earlier this year but has slipped in the weights and much more encouragement to glean from a brace of third-place finishes last month. Uncomplicated ride who is fancied to give it another good go.

Form: 705733

(11)

Carolus Magnus^p1⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73| D

14/1

Quirky sort. Nineteen runs since last win back in 2021. Never really looked like justifying support down in grade at Wetherby last month and cheekpieces now replace tongue tie.

Form: 60-8660

(12)

Visibility¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 72| D

66/1

Unreliable sort who snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Pontefract but given overall profile, it wasn't a major surprise that he was a below-form seventh of 15 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Down in trip.

Form: 580517

(14)

Naepoint²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: E Bethell| OR: 78| D

14/1

Career-best effort when making winning handicap debut at Doncaster 26 days ago by short head from Havanarama, displaying a willing attitude having raced freely. May have more to offer.

Form: 3-5241

(5)

Havanarama^t²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: O J Orr| T: H Palmer| OR: 74

16/1

Pair of AW wins earlier in the year and showed he's equally as effective on turf when placed in 1m handicaps at Newbury and Doncaster last month. Likely to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 221732

(2)

Mr Swivell¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: J Ferguson| OR: 74| BF| D

17/2

Raced on the AW so far, not needing to match previous form when landing the odds at Southwell in February. Looked stretched by 10f when mid-field on handicap debut so return to 1m a good move.

Form: 4216

(9)

Royal Velvet²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 72| CD

8/1

Represents yard in excellent form and she did her bit to enhance that record when recording win number 3 over C&D 3 weeks ago. Didn't have much in hand that day but it was a career best.

Form: 1-17551

(6)

Mister Mojito¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Davies| T: T Kent| OR: 71| C

14/1

Course winner who was better than ever when doubling career tally in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/2) 16 days ago, readily. Assessor reacted with 6 lb rise but he's a low-mileage 3-y-o. Up in trip.

Form: 0-33161

(1)

Lennon²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 66| BF| D

6/1

Lightly-raced 3-y-o who has proved a different proposition back from a break/switched to handicaps, off the mark at Bath and stayed on to lead close home a week later at Pontefract (both 1m). Easy to excuse latest run over 10f and he's fancied to bounce back.

Form: 878-114

Forecasts

Beylerbeyi (11/2), Lennon (6/1), Al Rufaa (13/2), Royal Velvet (8/1), Mr Swivell (17/2), Lough Leane (12/1), Bluelight Bay (12/1), Al Muqdad (14/1), Mostawaa (14/1), Mister Mojito (14/1), Carolus Magnus (14/1), Naepoint (14/1), Havanarama (16/1), Visibility (66/1)

Competitive fare with BEYLERBEYI just about the most persuasive option having shaped as though still in top form despite failing to land the 4-timer at Chelmsford. Lough Leane has also enjoyed a really productive 2024 so he's on the shortlist, while Lennon could easily regain the progressive thread back at 1m.
