Emaculate Soldier^b⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 63| C

16/1

5-y-o who responded well to a change of headgear when shedding maiden tag in 6-runner handicap at this course (14f) 42 days ago. Possibilities with a repeat having been nudged up 2 lb for that success.

Form: 087641

Pysanka^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| CD

7/2

5-time C&D winner, the latest on his penultimate start in April. 9/2, creditable ½-length second of 5 to Educate in handicap back here 42 days ago. Likely player again in present groove.

Form: 856712

Chillhi¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁷⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 62

5/4

Often very slowly away and on a lengthy losing run but he ended his time with Brian Ellison with a good second in selling handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f) 13 days ago. New yard boast a fine record with similar types so well worth a look from career-low mark back on the level.

Form: 7-60974

King's Castle²⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 62

16/1

Flat winner who rattled off a hurdles 4-timer at Market Rasen (16.6f) for Jeremy Scott. Switched yards since finishing sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f) when last seen 8 months ago and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Lednikov^b³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 60| D

20/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Respectable second of 6 in handicap at this course (14f, 11/1) 35 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly.

Form: 417132

Educate^t⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Morris| OR: 59| CD

9/2

17/2, snapped a losing run in 5-runner C&D handicap 42 days ago, by ½ length from Pysanka. Remains well treated on old form but doesn't obviously have the profile of one likely to follow up.

Form: 0-97691

(3)

Lawmans Blis^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: I W McInnes| OR: 58| CD

40/1

4-time course winner. 12/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago (Chillhi placed second). First run for yard after leaving Jennie Candlish and he returns to this sphere operating from a workable mark.

Form: 51-7545

(4)

Sea Of Charm^b²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: G Nicholls| OR: 58| BF| CD

8/1

C&D winner who was in good form prior to making a successful return to turf in 7-runner handicap at Brighton (11.9f) on penultimate start. Not in same form having been raised 3 lb when third back at that track 3 weeks ago but she's another not ruled out.

Form: 54-4213

Forecasts

Chillhi (5/4), Pysanka (7/2), Educate (9/2), Sea Of Charm (8/1), Emaculate Soldier (16/1), King's Castle (16/1), Lednikov (20/1), Lawmans Blis (40/1)

CHILLHI's habitual slow starting often held him back for his former stable, yet he arrives on the back of a recent second over hurdles at Cartmel and, starting out for a new yard who have done remarkably well with similar types, he could be worth chancing from a career-low mark. Pysanka arrives in form and he's feared. Last-time-out course winners Emaculate Soldier and Educate complete the shortlist.
