(4)

Mr Jetman¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 54

13/8

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Confirmed return to form when second of 21 in handicap (8/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) just under 2 weeks ago, running on. This a weaker event and he can make his mark.

Form: 660-732

(11)

Hostelry^p³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Probably needed the run after 5 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago. Needs to leave that behind.

Form: 43647-9

(8)

Edvard Grieg⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 53

9/2

Seemed unsuited by the drop back in trip when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 13/2) just over 10 weeks ago, going with little fluency. Back up in trip and not dismissed.

Form: 20880-5

(1)

Back From Dubai⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: N Callan| T: S R Bowring| OR: 51| D

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 8/1, ran poorly when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Form: 319337

(3)

Evoluir¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 51

28/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 14/1, always behind having reverted to his slow-starting ways when last of 10 in handicap there (8.6f) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 351640

(12)

Pinjarra^b1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 50

9/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 22/1) 30 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 700-679

(10)

First Encounter^p¹⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 48| D

16/1

Latest win at Chelmsford in October. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (10.2f, heavy, 5/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Ran well on return last year so not dismissed.

Form: 125815-

(5)

Venus Slipper^b¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J F Egan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 48

10/1

Winner at Lingfield in February. Creditable second of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 17/2) 19 days ago. Going through a good spell at the moment and looks competitive on form.

Form: 5-64312

(7)

Star Of Atlantis^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A Wintle| OR: 48

25/1

Winner at Southwell in January. 9/1, again shaped as if still in good form despite not being seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago, left with too much to do.

Form: 164535

(6)

Glencalvie^p1¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: A Wintle| OR: 48| D

20/1

11/1, shaped as if needing the run after 12 weeks off when sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 5086-86

(2)

Limelight^b³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S D Bowen| T: Michael Keady| OR: 45

22/1

28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford (8f) 5 weeks ago, short of room final 1f. Remains a maiden so easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 5/6-3655

Fifty Sent¹⁰

T: S England J: Billy Loughnane

Forecasts

Mr Jetman (13/8), Edvard Grieg (9/2), Fifty Sent (5/1), Hostelry (11/2), Pinjarra (9/1), Venus Slipper (10/1), Back From Dubai (14/1), First Encounter (16/1), Glencalvie (20/1), Limelight (22/1), Star Of Atlantis (25/1), Evoluir (28/1)

A tricky finale to solve but FIFTY SENT confirmed recent promise to win for the first time in almost 2 years partnered by Billy Loughnane for the first time earlier this month and, nudged up just 2 lb, Sam England's 6-y-o gets the nod to follow up. Mr Jetman found just one too good at Doncaster recently and he may have to settle for silver again, with Venus Slipper and Edvard Grieg taken to fight out third.
