Star Harbour^v²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Adam Caffrey⁽³⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 98| D

12/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/1) at the Curragh (12f, good) 25 days ago, getting first run. Had little to spare last time but he's reliable and likely to give his all again.

Form: 624441

Penzance¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 98| D

28/1

Progressed at a rate of knots on AW over the winter, winning 4 times over this trip and good second of 14 at Newcastle on Good Friday. Last couple of turf efforts have been less inspiring and others are more persuasive.

Form: 1-11260

(12)

Believe In Stars²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 95| BF| D

10/1

Very lightly raced for age and took another small step forward when narrowly defeated at Windsor on reappearance. No surprise if there's further progress in him, so looks an obvious player.

Form: 61/12-2

(8)

Flying Frontier⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: J Tate| OR: 95| D

13/2

Won maiden/novice events on turf last June and resumed with an encouraging run at Sandown, probably needing it after 9 months off and shaping better than the distance beaten suggests. Remains a smart prospect for top-end handicaps like this and one to note back up in trip.

Form: 11522-8

(1)

King Lear³⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 93| BF

7/2

Off the mark second time up at Nottingham last season and ran at least as well in defeat when runner-up at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 4/6). Signed off with a lesser effort and, while he remains with potential, he has a 10-month absence to overcome.

Form: 4126-

(2)

Andaleep^t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 91| D

12/1

Proved better than ever in registering a twelfth career success at Windsor (10f, good to firm) in June but failed to back it up at Newmarket last time. Probably vulnerable to less-exposed types.

Form: 339519

(5)

Mythical Guest³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: G G Margarson| OR: 89| CD

7/1

Improved model this term having been gelded, scoring twice and running well again when second at Newmarket last time. Impressive winner over C&D on return and looks a player.

Form: 95-1512

(11)

Have Secret⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89| D

9/1

Useful handicapper who recorded several creditable efforts in defeat last year and was firmly back on track when second at York last time. Should be on the premises.

Form: 42755-2

(3)

Rathgar²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 85

25/1

Latest win at Goodwood in May. Failed to stay at Newcastle last time but this is a rather drop in distance and others look more persuasive.

Form: 2-31320

(10)

Parlando¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Ian Williams| OR: 83| D

12/1

Scored at Sakhir in February and has posted a couple of at least respectable efforts lately, fifth at Newmarket last time. Might find this a touch too competitive, though.

Form: 106975

(6)

Qitaal¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

14/1

Started 2024 with 10f Doncaster success and largely in good form since, creditable third at Chester last time. Others strike as being better treated, however.

Form: 249553

(9)

Midair^p⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 84| BF

5/1

Still unexposed and, while the form of his latest second at Windsor isn't working out all that well, he shaped as if well treatd at Ascot on his previous outing. Looks to have a bigger effort in him.

Form: 522-242

Forecasts

King Lear (7/2), Midair (5/1), Flying Frontier (13/2), Mythical Guest (7/1), Have Secret (9/1), Believe In Stars (10/1), Andaleep (12/1), Parlando (12/1), Star Harbour (12/1), Qitaal (14/1), Rathgar (25/1), Penzance (28/1)

MIDAIR is less exposed than most and likely has a bigger effort in him so, getting weight for age, he's worth taking a chance on in a competitive event. Believe In Stars also has few miles on the clock and is going the right way, so he's regarded as an obvious danger, while Mythical Guest should go well once again.
