Selected odds by:

(1)

Macari⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 76

12/1

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (3/1) at Salisbury (14.2f, good to firm) on Thursday, well positioned. Carries penalty and dominating this lot a harder assignment but he's clearly in good heart.

Form: 221-531

(9)

Xiomara²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 80| D

20/1

First run since leaving David Menuisier when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm, 9/1) 21 days ago. This should reveal more with that reappearance behind her.

Form: 21360-9

(6)

First Officer²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 79| C

17/2

Course winner who made a sound return to action when fourth of 10 in handicap here (10f, good to firm, 7/1) 21 days ago. Looks worth a go at this trip.

Form: 27512-4

(4)

Cavalry Call^v²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 78

9/1

7/2 and visored for first time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Crystal Mariner, well on top finish. Unexposed at this sort of trip

Form: 486221

(10)

Educator²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss H C Knight| OR: 77

9/1

Down in the weights and sprung a 28/1 surprise on first run after a breathing operation in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 21 days ago. Shortlist material.

Form: 9265-71

(2)

Fast Steps²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 77| C

7/1

Course winner. 15/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can build on that.

Form: 44728-7

(5)

Crystal Mariner^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 77

14/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Tongue strap on for first time, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 8 to Cavalry Call in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 362-862

(7)

Odin Legacy^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

15/2

Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (5/2) at Salisbury (9.9f, firm) 15 days ago, holding on gamely. 3 lb rise won't prevent bold follow-up bid.

Form: 350-461

(3)

Carnival Day²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 76

9/2

Shaped well when fourth of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 27 days ago, nearest finish. Not yet fully exposed so one to be interested in.

Form: 5112-34

(12)

Dayzee²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: P Attwater| OR: 73

33/1

Unreliable type (has refused to race) and didn't do enough when fifth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago to seriously consider her.

Form: R94-975

(8)

Kingkeer¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 73| CD

2/1

Gelded and strong in the betting, he improved a chunk when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Should improve again and one to keep on the right side of.

Form: 49444-1

(11)

Ice Opera^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 62

125/1

9¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Kingkeer in handicap (66/1) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 329875

Forecasts

Kingkeer (2/1), Carnival Day (9/2), Fast Steps (7/1), Odin Legacy (15/2), First Officer (17/2), Educator (9/1), Cavalry Call (9/1), Macari (12/1), Crystal Mariner (14/1), Xiomara (20/1), Dayzee (33/1), Ice Opera (125/1)

KINGKEER showed significant improvement when getting off the mark over C&D 2 weeks ago and this lightly-raced 4-y-o looks capable of making further progress this summer. He's taken to follow up at the chief expense of Educator, who took advantage of a much-reduced mark when scoring at Lingfield following a breathing operation. Odin Legacy made all when winning at Salisbury recently and is also of interest.
