Eagle's Realm^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 66| CD

17/2

C&D winner. 11/2, ran respectably despite some indifferent jumping when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) last month. Fair on the all-weather, did too much too soon on last outing over C&D in March. Shortlist material.

Form: 11-2156

Dark Mystery^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P J McDonald| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 63

15/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newbury (12f, soft) 30 days ago, possibly moving too strongly to last home and not ideally placed away from main action down middle of track.

Form: 6-92734

Caballo De Mar^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 67

8/11

11/4, finally turned a frame finish into a first win in 13-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 15 days ago, needing nearly every yard of the extra 1f or so returned to turf. Makes tapeta debut. One to consider.

Form: 033421

Apostle⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 66| D

11/4

Made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 10/11) 8 days ago, very much having run of race. Didn't noticeably have much in hand but makes obvious appeal from just 3 lb higher for these connections.

Form: 565121

(5)

Spring Chorus^p1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 58

40/1

Winner at Beverley in May. 9/1, ran no sort of race when well-beaten twelfth of 13 in handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Kitten's Dream^p⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 45| CD

125/1

Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Thirty-one runs since last win in 2023. Again made very little impact when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 28/1) 3 months ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 906669

Forecasts

Caballo De Mar (8/11), Apostle (11/4), Dark Mystery (15/2), Eagle's Realm (17/2), Spring Chorus (40/1), Kitten's Dream (125/1)

APOSTLE made it 2 wins from her last 3 outings when dictating matters at Wolverhampton last week and Sir Mark Prescott's filly can make light of a 3 lb rise as the expense of Eagle's Realm, who won over C&D last winter and arrives fit from a couple of spins over hurdles. Caballo de Mar finally turned a frame finish into a first win last month, so he completes the shortlist.
