Apodictique⁵⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: G & J Moore| OR: 60

9/1

Fair maiden. Best effort when second in handicap at Deauville on final start for E. Libaud (sold for €18,000 subsequently). Market likely to be informative following 19 months off but is nevertheless an interesting contender on stable debut.

Sceptic^b1⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Bradley Furniss⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 59| BF

5/2

Gambled on when successful on second start for current connections in March. Has ran creditably since, though was doing nothing in a hurry when stepped up in trip wearing a first time visor at Kempton 5 days ago, finishing 5th of 12 (11f). Remains to be seen if blinkers have more of an impact.

Form: 0-15436

One Million Dreams²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Grace Littmoden⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 59

16/1

Best effort to date on handicap debut when fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 14/1) 26 days ago. That remains only modest form and she'll need to improve again over 10f back on turf.

Form: 5-594

(4)

Blue Yonder^p⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 58| D

9/2

Going through a good spell at the moment and didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (evens) at Les Landes (10f, good) 56 days ago. Solid claims with cheekpieces refitted.

Form: 09-2341

(3)

Zambezi Magic¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 57| D

3/1

Twice a winner over 10f at Ffos Las last season. Ran creditably after 7 months off when 16/1 fifth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Ought to be competitive.

Form: 12136-5

(2)

Fighting Poet^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Delphi Parkinson⁽⁷⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 54| D

50/1

Won twice at Brighton last year but has looked rusty in two starts this season, even more slowly away seventh of 11 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 28 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Has a bit to prove.

Form: 3146-57

(5)

Dogged^p²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr P Thomas⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 52| D

16/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023 and little impact in two starts for current connections, 50/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 21 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 2330-87

(8)

Galactic Glow^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr McKenzie Graham⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 47| D

7/2

Twenty two runs since last win in 2023 but has been in form of late, bumped into a better handicapped one when second of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 86-5322

Forecasts

Sceptic (5/2), Zambezi Magic (3/1), Galactic Glow (7/2), Blue Yonder (9/2), Apodictique (9/1), Dogged (16/1), One Million Dreams (16/1), Fighting Poet (50/1)

It could pay to take a chance on APODICTIQUE who had some fair form in France and she may be able to make a winning return on debut for Gary Moore. Archie Watson and Brodie Hampson have been in fine form in amateur jockeys' handicaps and their representative Blue Yonder looks to have solid claims having won in Jersey last time out, while Galatic Glow should give another good account.
