Promethean^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: D Menuisier| OR: 84

5/4

Hooded for first time and shaped nicely when seventh of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good) 30 days ago, missing break and also denied a clear run. Back up in trip which will suit and he's a major player.

Form: 5/4240-7

25/1

Improved to win 9-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good, evens) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat and given a chance by the handicapper for his in-form yard.

Form: 119175/

Xiomara¹⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 82

9/1

45/1, 19¾ lengths twelfth of 15 to Grand Stars in listed race at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, heavy). Off 169 days. First run for yard after leaving David Menuisier and does have more chance back in a handicap.

Form: 221360-

First Officer¹⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 79| CD

7/1

Won this race on last year's reappearance. Second of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 5/2), missing break. Off 178 days but sure to be well prepared for this.

Expert Witness^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 79| D

7/1

15/2, posted another sound effort when second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Can get involved.

Form: 6830-42

Robbo²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 78

33/1

Easy to forgive sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago given he was badly hampered. Up in trip, which looks well worth exploring.

Form: 582-756

Morcar^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 16 days ago. Should strip fitter for that.

Form: 10816-7

(9)

Silver Gunn^t²²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 77| CD

11/1

Quirky sort. C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm). Off 7 months but has gone well fresh in the past.

Ocean Heights^t¹³

16/1

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (12f) 13 days ago. Dominating this field a different ask back on turf.

Forecasts

Promethean (5/4), Dancing In Paris (7/2), Expert Witness (7/1), First Officer (7/1), Fast Steps (15/2), Xiomara (9/1), Lilly Lux (10/1), Silver Gunn (11/1), Morcar (11/1), Ocean Heights (16/1), Croeso Cymraeg (16/1), He's A Latchico (25/1), Robbo (33/1)

PROMETHEAN's reappearance in the Spring Mile was full of promise and with Tom Marquand taking over back up in trip (will suit) he has plenty to recommend him. This is a good contest, though, with recent hurdles scorer He's A Latchico and First Officer (winner of this race a year ago) just a couple of potential threats.
