Mumayaz^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 71| D

5/1

Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in February. 12/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, badly hampered so that run can be overlooked. This represents a drop in class back on turf.

Golden Pharaoh³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

9/4

16/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 30 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Eased 2 lb and this is a much weaker band of handicap. One to consider,

Form: 50-8569

Marsh Benham^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 69| CD

18/1

Temperamental sort. 4-time course winner. 9/1, last of 6 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 17 days ago. That was a disappointing reappearance and he comes with risks attached given run style (habitual slow starter).

Form: 16160-6

Shaw Park¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 67| BF| CD

5/2

Three-time C&D winner. Three wins from 23 runs last year. Respectable second of 6 in handicap (11/4) at this course (8f, good) 17 days ago, left with too much to do, ridden with slightly more restraint than has been the case. Back in trip.

Form: 8-52162

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 63| D

28/1

Winner at Chelmsford City in January. 7/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f). Off 97 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell.

Enpassant^t,v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 62| D

Poetic Force²⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 8-13| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, shaped quite well when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Has to be taken seriously from lower turf mark.

Form: 226-475

(1)

Ashford Hill³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Isobelle Chalmers⁽⁷⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 49| D

12/1

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/2) 36 days ago. Makes turf debut. Must improve from out of the weights.

Form: 7-42845

Forecasts

Golden Pharaoh (9/4), Shaw Park (5/2), Mumayaz (5/1), Poetic Force (5/1), Ashford Hill (12/1), Enpassant (12/1), Marsh Benham (18/1), Mammy (28/1)

POETIC FORCE last tasted success over this C&D in August 2023 and is firmly in the twilight of his career but the handicapper has given him every chance back on turf. He gets the tentative vote in favour of a couple of class droppers Golden Pharaoh and Mumayaz, a stablemate of the selection.
