Kamekist³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68

7/4

Kameko gelding who matched previous best when third of 12 on qualifying run in a 7f course maiden 36 days ago. This shorter trip asks a different question but he appeals as one who should have more to offer in handicaps.

Form: 0-23

Nad Alshiba Rain¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: James Owen| OR: 68

7/1

Fair filly. Below para when third of 7 in novice at this course (7f) 15 days ago but penultimate 6f Southwell fourth shows she can be competitive in handicaps.

Form: 66-6343

(6)

Rokuni^v1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 68| D

6/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 39 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor on first time.

Form: 0596-56

(8)

Style King²⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Aidan Keeley| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 67

9/1

No impact in maiden/novice events for Roger Varian last summer. Off 8 months ahead of handicap debut for new yard. A watching brief is advised unless the betting hints otherwise.

Form: 887-

(4)

Kiss Me My Love⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Johnston| OR: 67| D

11/4

Fair filly. 18/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 68 days ago. Back up in trip. Should be competitive.

Form: 10463-4

(2)

The Thames Lady²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 65| D

10/1

Winner on 6f Lingfield handicap debut in February. Excuses when only seventh of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) since, left poorly placed after missing the break. Makes tapeta debut. Enters the reckoning.

Form: 647-17

(3)

Triple Charged²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: L Williamson| OR: 64

28/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, 18/1) 21 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 055-398

(7)

Summer Rain⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Egan| T: J S Moore| OR: 57

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, seventh of 8 in C&D handicap 42 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0540-7

Non-Runners

(9)

Rumba Bay¹⁴

Weight: 8-13| Age: 3

T: P D Evans J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Kamekist (7/4), Rumba Bay (5/2), Kiss Me My Love (11/4), Rokuni (6/1), Nad Alshiba Rain (7/1), Style King (9/1), The Thames Lady (10/1), Triple Charged (28/1), Summer Rain (33/1)

While the drop to 6f asks a different question of KAMEKIST he leaves the impression he can go on to better things in handicaps and gets the nod ahead of last month's C&D scorer Rumba Bay and February's Lingfield winner The Thames Lady.
