14/1

Leicester winner on handicap debut last summer but unable to add to tally since, seventh of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 21 days ago. This represents big drop in class but he still comes with risks attached.

Crocus Time¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tyrese Cameron⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 61

14/1

Found only one too good at Epsom last month but profile rather in-and-out and she wasn't in the same form when fifth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Form: 264025

(8)

On Song^p⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 60

3/1

Well backed fitted with blinkers for the first time and easy to excuse sixth-place finish in handicap at Bath (8f, good) 84 days ago give he was badly hampered. Cheekpieces back on dropped in trip.

Form: 667-336

(6)

Diamond Cottage^h⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 54| CD

9/2

Three-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Hood back on and she lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 8-92435

(9)

Milliethemollie¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 58

8/1

Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, firm, 10/3) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip, which isn't certain to suit.

Form: 553262

Cut To The Chase²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52

7/1

Sent off 25/1 but took form up a level when very good second of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago. More to come in handicaps and mark could be lenient.

Form: 80-72

Forecasts

On Song (3/1), Adace (9/2), Diamond Cottage (9/2), Otago (11/2), Marching Mac (11/2), Cut To The Chase (7/1), Milliethemollie (8/1), Salaamaat (8/1), Kracking (14/1), Crocus Time (14/1)

CUT TO THE CHASE hasn't stood much racing but he produced his most promising performance yet when second at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago in a race that worked out better than may have been expected. He represents a yard with a superb record at Brighton so is fancied to make a winning handicap debut at the chief expense of Adace and Otago.
