Uncle Dick^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 70| D

14/1

Successful 4 times at his beloved Brighton last year (all at 1m). Hasn't been operating at his best in handful of starts since returning this spring but does come here operating 1 lb below last winning mark. Cheekpieces go back on in place of blinkers.

Form: 84-0764

Etretat¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Archie Young| T: C Johnston| OR: 67| D

11/2

Sixth of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 19 days ago, merely closing up late on the back of a rare slow start. Another who is steadily easing in the weights and he's not dismissed out of hand.

Port Erin⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 67

12/1

Bounced back to form re-united with this pilot when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1) 52 days ago, well positioned and staying on to lead close home. Fancied to be competitive again nudged up 3 lb.

Form: 3-35071

Countess Candy^t⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: C Allen| OR: 66WS

14/1

Landed an AW novice on second start last September and respectable efforts in defeat subsequently, off 3 months prior to finishing third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/4) 57 days ago. Had wind surgery ahead of switch back to turf and she's worth a second look.

Foreseen⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Alexandra McDonnell⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

9/2

Ex-French gelding who ran best race since joining present yard when second of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago, a well-run race over that trip proving no issue for him. Clearly down to a handy mark if building on that back on turf.

Platinum Prince^b1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: G & J Moore| OR: 64| C

7/2

Unreliable type. Course winner. Off 7 months before finishing a creditable second of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, soft, 16/1) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Blinkers on in place of usual visor and he's capable of getting involved again from this sort of mark.

Alika Breeze²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62

40/1

Much improved when shedding maiden tag in a soft-ground Bath handicap (1m) last October but she failed by a long chalk to back that up next 2 starts last year. Returns to action starting out for new yard and the betting may prove a useful guide.

Pride Of Nepal^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 61| CD

14/1

C&D winner who bettered first 2 starts this spring when fourth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip and course record is an obvious plus ahead of this (2 wins from 3 starts).

Form: 137-604

Latin^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mason Paetel⁽³⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 58| BF

4/1

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, evens) 6 days ago, weakening final 100 yds. Usual cheekpieces quickly go back on and surprise where his upwardly-mobile yard not able to get his head in front soon.

Form: 367633

Taskheer^h,t⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Dace⁽³⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 51| D

11/1

Latest win at Lingfield (1m) in February. 11/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago, fading. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Platinum Prince (7/2), Latin (4/1), Foreseen (9/2), Etretat (11/2), Taskheer (11/1), Port Erin (12/1), Versatile (12/1), Pride Of Nepal (14/1), Uncle Dick (14/1), Countess Candy (14/1), Alika Breeze (40/1)

ETRETAT has had excuses on each of his last 2 starts so, eased back down in trip having fallen back down to his last winning mark, he could be worth chancing to bounce back. Countess Candy, Latin and Port Erin are just a trio of others to consider in a tricky opener.
