Beltane¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 66

Surprise Picture^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 66| CD

6/5

C&D winner. 12/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 20 days ago. Visor back on and while he will have a fighting chance if he puts his best foot forward, one or two of these look more solid.

Not Just Yet²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Gina Mangan| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 63| D

13/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, second of 13 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 20 days ago, slowly away. Up 3 lb for that near miss but remains well-handicapped on his best form.

Form: 99-6062

Stella Hogan^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 57| D

3/1

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, worst of draw. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she is likely to be in the mix.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 54| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Last of 11 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Surprise Picture (6/5), Stella Hogan (3/1), Swinging Eddie (3/1), Ultramarine (7/2), Port Noir (5/1), Not Just Yet (13/2), Beltane (18/1), Rose Fandango (25/1)

The vote goes to ULTRAMARINE, who has been firmly knocking on the door of late and he remains 9 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Kempton in February. Stella Hogan is the clear pick of the John O'Shea-trained pair and she gets the nod ahead of Not Just Yet and Port Noir for forecast purposes.
