Oriental Prince^h⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| CD

4/6

Thrived since the hood went on, again going with plenty of zest on the front end when supplementing his C&D victory at Newcastle (6f) 4 days ago. No surprise to see him out quickly under a penalty and big shout again in hat-trick bid.

Form: 121811

Guy Fawkes^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 65| C

40/1

Course winner who failed to come on for his reappearance/yard debut effort when eighth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Return to this shorter trip may help due to his headstrong nature. Hood left off.

Form: 0480-58

(9)

Lequinto¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

14/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, short of room final 1f and weakening. Return to sprinting rates a plus and he's on a handy mark on pick of his form if putting it all together.

Form: 63-2477

(4)

The Real McKay^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 64| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 14/1, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could be sharper with that run under her belt.

Form: 0107-44

(8)

Em Jay Kay^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Grace McEntee| T: P S McEntee| OR: 63| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/1) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly returned to 6f.

Form: 5-33843

(6)

Broken Spear¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 63| D

11/1

Latest win at Newcastle 97f) in March. 4/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap back at that track/trip 11 days ago. Each-way possibilities again from this mark.

Form: 67-3313

(5)

Heroism¹⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 62| D

10/1

Winless in fifteen runs since debut success in 2022. Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at this course (6.1f) in October, weakening over 1f out. Needs to hit the ground running on return from 6 months off.

Form: 049807-

Safari Dream²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 62

11/2

Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 10/3) 20 days ago, headed inside final 100 yds. Back over 6f although worth noting both career victories gained at 5f.

Form: 4209-73

(1)

King Of The Jungle⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58| D

10/1

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time (discarded here) when below form when fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, 16/5) 46 days ago. Better showing not ruled out provided he keeps the tardy starts at bay.

Form: 52-2535

Forecasts

Oriental Prince (4/6), Safari Dream (11/2), King Of The Jungle (10/1), Heroism (10/1), Broken Spear (11/1), Lequinto (14/1), Em Jay Kay (14/1), The Real McKay (33/1), Guy Fawkes (40/1)

C&D winner ORIENTAL PRINCE continued his run of excellent form since the hood went on when making all at Newcastle on Saturday and a 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him bringing up the hat-trick. Em Jay Kay, King of The Jungle and Safari Dream can emerge as the chief dangers.
