15/8

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (7/4) at this course (7f) 19 days ago, comfortably. Further progress will be needed if he's to complete the hat-trick off this 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 126-311

Star Pupil^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| C

4/1

Course winner in January. 9/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 27 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not discounted.

Kracking^h,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 67| D

8/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 19 days ago, going off too hard. One or two of these are more appealing.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Lemos Souza| OR: 66| D

22/1

Respectable sixth of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good, 12/1). Off 6 months and he's passed over on this occasion.

Timetobenice^p,t²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 66| D

8/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 2 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 09-4527

9/4

Eyeshields on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (7f, 11/2) 5 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Major player under a penalty.

Forecasts

Drifts Away (15/8), Stella Hogan (9/4), Star Pupil (4/1), Timetobenice (8/1), Kracking (8/1), Poetic Force (12/1), Coolree (22/1)

This looks trappy and the suggestion is STELLA HOGAN, who has done nothing wrong in her four appearances since the turn of the year and she looked better than ever when striking over 7f here on Saturday. Though below par at Southwell on Tuesday, Timetobenice will merit serious consideration if allowed to take his chance, while Star Pupil is also in with a shout. Conversely, the hat-trick seeking Drifts Away looks vulnerable off his revised mark.
