Rogue Soldier²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Billy Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: M Young| OR: 67| CD

150/1

Course winner. Last of 4 in claimer at Lingfield (10f, AW, 6/1) 25 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 751-994

(6)

Sense Of Worth¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Aiden Blakemore⁽³⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 65| C

9/1

Course winner. 11/1, unseated rider in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Just 1 lb higher than when scoring here in February, but that was over 1½m and this drop in trip isn't sure to suit (all 4 career wins gained over 1¼m+).

Form: 21640U

Northbound¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Rosie Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Roger Fell| OR: 63| CD

12/1

C&D winner in April. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm, 22/1) 19 days ago. Not without each-way hope back on the AW.

Form: 861270

King Of Speed^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Hope Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| CD

14/1

Three-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 17 days ago, never nearer. Should make his presence felt once more.

Form: 653623

(9)

Abu Royal^p²⁹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Ellie Mayo⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 62

40/1

10/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good) when last seen 9 months ago. 0-7 on the AW and he's probably best watched on this debut for new yard. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 464570-

(8)

Sonic Pioneer^p1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham| T: Jack Morland| OR: 70| CD

4/1

C&D winner in February. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 15/2) 31 days ago. 2 lb nidge fair enough and major player back on this surface with first-time cheekpieces enlisted.

Form: 712922

(12)

Always Fearless^b²¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Margot Scudamore⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 58| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (66/1). Off 7 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Form: 180009-

(2)

Ocean Odyssey²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Ben Pollard⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 58| BF

4/1

Winner at Southwell in April. Ninth of 12 in handicap (16/5) at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago. Too free on that occasion and he could have a part to play if settling better this time.

Form: 0-45159

(10)

Royal Observatory²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Lauren Frost⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 58| CD

20/1

Unreliable type. C&D winner in April. Last of 10 in handicap back here (11/1) 20 days ago. Possibilities if on a going day, but whether he will put his best foot forward or not is hard to predict.

Form: 324710

(4)

Ventura Dream^b³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 67

9/2

Winner at Southwell in February. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 30 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 9-17384

(13)

Dapper Gee Gee¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66

25/1

40/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Remains to be seen if he will be able to back that up now back up in trip for this tapeta debut, but raised just 2 lb and will be a danger to all if able to do so.

Form: 88-8091

(7)

I Follow Rivers⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr E Cagney| T: R Spencer| OR: 64| C

5/2

Course winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Kempton in May. 7/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm) 40 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to be in the mix once again.

Form: 08-3112

(1)

Hot Frank⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Mr Jake Holman⁽⁷⁾| T: C Hobson| OR: 61

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving James Ferguson when last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 16/1) 49 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 007-87

Forecasts

I Follow Rivers (5/2), Ocean Odyssey (4/1), Sonic Pioneer (4/1), Ventura Dream (9/2), Sense Of Worth (9/1), Northbound (12/1), King Of Speed (14/1), Royal Observatory (20/1), Dapper Gee Gee (25/1), Abu Royal (40/1), Always Fearless (50/1), Hot Frank (125/1), Rogue Soldier (150/1)

If he responds well to the first-time cheekpieces SONIC PIONEER may well be the answer. He has improved since venturing down the handicap route, scoring over this C&D in February and has found just one too good on three of his four subsequent starts. The 3-y-o is partnered by a capable amateur and gets the nod ahead of I Follow Rivers, who is also in good form. Dapper Gee Gee would have a chance if backing up his latest effort, while King of Speed also needs a second look.
