Theworldsnotenough⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Hector Crouch| T: T Ward| OR: 62| D

15/2

Winner at Windsor in April. 16/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 56 days ago. Encounters polytrack for the first time here and she wouldn't be without a chance if she puts her best foot forward.

Form: 59-1249

Baritus Bellator^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 62

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Makes polytrack debut and needs to raise his game.

Form: 7566

(13)

Valadero^b1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Brian Toomey| OR: 61

6/1

12/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 36 days ago. Record stands at 0-13 but his mark continues to slide and will be a threat if the first-time blinkers give him a lift.

Form: 330956

Cuban Harry³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58

10/3

Good fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 10/3) 31 days ago, not ideally placed. 2 lb lower here and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 260064

Aljadel^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 57| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Back down in trip and she's worthy of consideration from an each-way standpoint.

Form: 365629

(9)

Soldier's Class¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 57

66/1

25/1, first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 087678

(4)

Absolutely Buzzing²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson| T: M Wigham| OR: 57

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 88-86

(2)

Flavor^b1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 56

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 40 days ago. Down in trip and, unless the first-time blinkers work the oracle, she is likely to come up short once more.

Form: 775-80

(7)

Solo Solataire^v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

16/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7f) 9 days ago. Visor on 1st time and she will be a threat if the new headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 406380

(3)

Gregorianna^h⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and hooded for 1st time, third of 8 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f) 48 days ago, not knocked about. Appeals as the type to do better now embarking on a career in handicaps.

Form: 753

(6)

La Sonnambula^b1⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J Ferguson| OR: 52

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 66 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and sports first-time blinkers. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-650

(12)

Soveraine^v¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 52

8/1

Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 6 in handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago. 1 lb lower now and likely to give another good account.

Form: 8-77343

(10)

Silver Shamrock^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48

25/1

11/1, trailed in last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. However, she shaped well prior to that when third of 10 off a 3 lb higher mark at Kempton, form which gives her a fighting chance.

Form: 8-60030

Forecasts

Cuban Harry (10/3), Aljadel (5/1), Baritus Bellator (5/1), Valadero (6/1), Theworldsnotenough (15/2), Soveraine (8/1), Gregorianna (16/1), Solo Solataire (16/1), La Sonnambula (18/1), Silver Shamrock (25/1), Flavor (33/1), Absolutely Buzzing (50/1), Soldier's Class (66/1)

It could be worth siding with SOVERAINE, who promises to be suited by this drop back in trip after finding 9.2f too stiff a test at Hamilton recently. She still performed with credit to finish third in that handicap, despite sporting first-time headgear, and gets the nod ahead of Cuban Harry and Theworldsnotenough. It will be interesting to see if support arrives for handicap debutante Gregorianna and she is also worth a second look.
