Capital Guarantee⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

6/4

2 wins from 3 runs this year, recording a second course success in 12-runner handicap (5/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, leading over 1f out and scoring easily. Carries a 5-lb penalty but apprentice negates that so must have a major chance if coping with the swift turnaround.

Form: 925-161

Giorgio M^p,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 75| D

9/2

It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2024 but can have his latest effort at Chester overlooked (different demands of a new trip and absence of usual cheekpieces). Has dropped back to his last winning mark so impossible to dismiss.

Form: 7-22260

(8)

Giant^b1¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: R Spencer| OR: 75| D

11/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 13/2, returned to form from easing mark when fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) just over 2 weeks ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Must build that on his first turf outing for almost 2 years.

Form: 4-45974

Lessay^v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75| D

22/1

Latest win at Kempton in March. 5/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at same course (7f) just over 2 weeks ago. Visor back on.

Chola Empire²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75| D

16/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when tenth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at same course (7.1f) 25 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 0-41490

Shaw Park⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| CD

7/2

Showed a willing attitude when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 15/2) 8 days ago, leading over 2f out and just holding on. Carries penalty but others more appealing on balance.

Form: 216221

Mister Mojito^t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 72| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in April. 16/1, run of good form halted when ninth of 16 in handicap at Chelmsford (8f) just under 5 weeks ago. Bounce back needed returned to turf.

Form: 74-7119

(7)

Jackson Street^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M J Attwater| OR: 65

80/1

Winner at Newcastle in December for Dylan Cunha. Has offered little on both starts for this yard, latest when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 12 days ago.

Form: 319-580

CAPITAL GUARANTEE had plenty up his sleeve when scoring at Thirsk last Saturday and, with an apprentice booked to negate a 5-lb penalty, David O'Meara's 5-y-o is hard to get away from. Giant has his first start on turf for almost 2 years and he heads up the opposition, while Giorgio M, who has dropped back to his last winning mark, can edge out recent C&D winner Shaw Park for minor honours.
