Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 94

5/1

Useful gelding on Flat who landed a Warwick juvenile hurdle (2m) over the winter. Cheekpieces on 1st time in this code, looked to have little in hand from present mark when fourth in 7-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago but this ease in class a plus and rider takes off a handy 7 lb.

Form: 9D47-54

Claymore²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jonny Peate| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 93| C

15/2

Course winner who is winless since landing Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2022. Largely campaigned on AW since, ninth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 28 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Mark has eased a little more but he does need to conclusively prove his stamina at this trip.

Form: 36-9369

Fouroneohfever⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 90| D

15/8

Rattled off a quick-fire AW/turf hat-trick in handicaps last spring before a good fourth in big field Royal Ascot handicap. Showed benefit of his reappearance run when finishing creditable third of 14 in handicap at Chester (10.3f) 8 days ago and he's one to be interested in back up in trip.

Form: 1488-03

Knightswood¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

2/1

All the better for return and enhanced good record at Ripon when landing handicap last month. Confirmed he remains in top form when third of 10 in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm) 12 days ago and he needs considering returned to 12f.

Form: 409-213

(5)

Speriamo¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: P J McBride| OR: 78| C| D

13/2

In the form of her life back in the autumn, better than ever when regaining the winning thread at Wolverhampton in October. Might of needed the run after 5 months off when fifth in 7-runner C&D handicap 13 days ago and whilst she's yet to defy a mark this high, she can't be ruled out.

Form: 12213-5

Forecasts

Fouroneohfever (15/8), Knightswood (2/1), Lavender Hill Mob (5/1), Speriamo (13/2), Claymore (15/2)

FOURONEOHFEVER showed the benefit of his reappearance run when a good third at Chester 8 days ago and, with the step back up in trip/return to forecast quicker ground holding no fears, he could be the way to go. Knightswood has resumed in very good order and is also fancied to play a lead role.
