Port Road⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 74

6/4

14/1, wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago, headway when denied a run 1f out. Seems consistent rather than progressive so far so others more appealing.

Form: 62358-6

(6)

Ben Y Bryn²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills| OR: 73

15/2

9/2, ran well with his comeback run under his belt when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 4641/52

(8)

Vince Lombardi^p,t⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: S Spencer| OR: 72

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts for Jim Boyle, latest in 11-runner handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 73 days ago. Has since switched yards again and a market check is advised.

Form: 045252-

Dakota Power²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 71| D

33/1

Probably needed the run after 3 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago. Should be much closer to form here.

Form: 61372-9

(4)

Enpassant^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 67| CD

4/1

C&D winner in February. 4/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 11 days ago, just a shade keener than ideal. Shortlist material.

Form: 44-4313

(2)

Tea Sea^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67| BF| D

4/1

Completed hat-trick at Southwell in January. Had winning run ended but did enough to prove he remained in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 731-114

(5)

Al Ameen^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 64| C

13/2

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 3 weeks ago, never nearer. Others look stronger from a win perspective.

Form: 4444-65

(1)

Royal Jet²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| D

80/1

33/1, possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Edward Smyth-Osbourne after 8 weeks off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. This outing should reveal what ability remains.

Form: 71/600-7

Forecasts

Port Road (6/4), Tea Sea (4/1), Enpassant (4/1), Al Ameen (13/2), Ben Y Bryn (15/2), Vince Lombardi (14/1), Dakota Power (33/1), Royal Jet (80/1)

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for ENPASSANT, who won over C&D last month and ran respectably in his follow-up bid when third at Chelmsford 17 days later. Tea Sea was unable to land the 4-timer at Wolverhampton but he remains of interest with the blinkers back on, with Ben Y Bryn and the stable-switching Vince Lombardi taken to fight out third.
