Spirit Genie^t,v³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: J Candlish| OR: 82| D

11/1

Visored first time, respectable fourth of 10 in claimer at Chester (7.5f, firm, 11/2) 33 days ago. Should be competitive back in a handicap.

Form: 057054

Walsingham⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81| D

5/1

On the up for this yard with a pair of 1m Pontefract wins (good/good to soft) in July. Did it quite comfortably last time so a further 3 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick.

Form: 4328-11

Look Back Smiling⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Amy Collier| T: G Tutty| OR: 78| D

11/4

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 11/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 15 days ago, nearest finish. His regular slow starts make him one who needs things to fall right.

Form: 5-07264

(10)

Revich^v³³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss A B O'Connor| T: A Wintle| OR: 77| D

25/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form when sixth of 10 in claimer (11/2) at Chester (7.5f, firm) 33 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 66-8936

(2)

Terries Royale³³³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 76| CD

3/1

Progressive in handicaps last year, including edging out the reopposing Shaladar to win this race under Serena Brotherton. This is a belated reappearance but he's likely still on a good mark if ready to roll.

Bear Force One^e/s²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Katie Garton| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 76| D

66/1

40/1 and eyeshields on first time (retained), back to form with a bang to win 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, firm) 20 days ago but perhaps no good thing to back it up given his overall record.

Form: 003-001

(6)

Devious Devan¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Teagan Padgett| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 73

80/1

50/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) on recent return from 13 months off. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time.

Form: 32240-9

(4)

Dashing Roger⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Olive Nicholls| T: W Stone| OR: 70| CD

10/1

C&D winner but below par in his 2 outings this year. Potentially well handicapped but hard to be sure he's in the form to take advantage.

Form: 0577-96

(7)

Tadreeb¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: B R Millman| OR: 70

8/1

Started 2025 with 3 7f wins at Lingfield (AW). Back on form when second at Sandown off lower turf mark last month but failed to back it up at Kempton since.

Form: 240427

(1)

Shaladar^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: K A Ryan| OR: 66| D

6/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2022 but only narrowly denied by Terries Royale in this under Becky Smith last year and returned to form when a close second at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) last month. Has to enter the reckoning.

Form: 74-4452

Forecasts

Look Back Smiling (11/4), Terries Royale (3/1), Walsingham (5/1), Shaladar (6/1), Tadreeb (8/1), Dashing Roger (10/1), Spirit Genie (11/1), Revich (25/1), Bear Force One (66/1), Devious Devan (80/1)

WALSINGHAM has come good in his second season with David O'Meara and is taken to defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. Last year's 1-2 Terries Royale, who is making a somewhat belated return to the track, and Shaladar can give him most to do.
