Romanovich¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 59| D

9/1

Reappeared after 5 months off to finish fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Goes without usual headgear again but should strip fitter for most recent outing.

Form: 15312-5

(9)

Windsor Pass²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: J Butler| OR: 58| D

6/1

Broke her maiden tag after 29 runs without a win, winning an 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago, travelling smoothly and winning with a bit hand. Very much respected in her bid to follow up that victory.

Form: 5252-21

Billy McGarry¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 56| C| D

7/2

Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Benefitted from drop in trip when 3/1, good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Cheekpieces left off today but should run well again.

Form: 68-7233

Made All^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell| T: A Brittain| OR: 56

11/1

Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests in first-time cheekpieces/following wind surgery when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago. Makes each-way appeal off current mark.

Form: 36709-7

(6)

Embarked^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| CD

25/1

Step in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, having gone too hard but yard have been struggling for winners of late.

Form: 5-98834

(8)

Devasboy^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Frederick Larson| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| D

7/1

Thirty runs since last win in 2022 but his handicap mark is tumbling. Couldn't capitalise when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 15 days ago but not had many runs for this yard and no surprise to see a better effort.

Form: 924-576

(2)

Mickey Mongoose¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁷⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 52| C

2/1

Exploited basement mark to win 9-runner handicap at this course (8.1f) 14 days ago, having been well-backed to do so. Back in trip now and 5 lb rise in the weight makes life tougher.

Form: 069-051

(7)

King Of York^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| CD

9/1

Has been struggling for form of late and fared no better in blinkers (retained) when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, Others preferred.

Form: 89-3767

(5)

Barney's Bay^v⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: D Shaw| OR: 45| C

28/1

Ran best race for a while when second of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 7 days ago but it remains to be seen whether he can back that up.

Form: 00-0082

Forecasts

Mickey Mongoose (2/1), Billy McGarry (7/2), Windsor Pass (6/1), Devasboy (7/1), King Of York (9/1), Romanovich (9/1), Made All (11/1), Embarked (25/1), Barney's Bay (28/1)

WINDSOR PASS won with a bit in hand when breaking her maiden tag last month, and she is taken to follow up that victory from a 2 lb higher mark. Devasboy could be seen to better effect if a good gallop materialises, so he's second choice ahead of Billy McGarry who can hit the frame again.
