12/1 |
Blewburton
Tumbling down the weights but he struggled in Dubai earlier in the year and he's fared no better in two 7f handicaps since returning to Britain; blinkers the headgear of choice now down in trip and class.

Up The Monk
Promise in a couple of 7f novice events at Wolverhampton in March; 22-1 and struggled on last month's handicap debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm; finished behind Gorgeous Mr George despite better track position); early days but needs a big personal best.

Cracking Man
Good chance on the pick of his 2yo form for Karl Burke but he was sold cheaply in January and finished a well-beaten fifth (125-1) on his stable debut last week; this low-grade handicap is more suitable but he still carries risk.

- Rage Of Thunder
- Ashley Lewis / G & J Moore

9/2 |
Rage Of Thunder
Has ability and he's on a workable mark, as evidenced by his C&D third when last seen in January; his tendency to pull too hard remains a concern though and he's partnered by a 7lb claimer tonight.

- Thurso
- Finley Marsh / R Hughes

9/2 |
Thurso
Ran his best race so far when second of 15 at Windsor nine days ago (6f, good to firm), his first run since being gelded; this is a drop in class and he could still have his best days ahead of him.

- Dr Ali
- Marco Ghiani / J R Jenkins

16/1 |
Dr Ali
Nine-race maiden but he has performed with credit in all four starts for John Jenkins; easing down the weights but does need to pull out more if he's to shed his maiden tag this time.

- Bust A Moon
- N Callan / P D Evans

20/1 |
Bust A Moon
Just missed out behind Cheeky Stanley at Chelmsford on his stable debut in March; he hasn't run quite so well twice since but he's 3lb better off for a neck with his old adversary today.

9/4 |
Cheeky Stanley
Stepped up on his 2yo form when narrowly getting the better of Bust A Moon at Chelmsford on his handicap/AW debut in March (6f); 4lb rise asks a stiffer question but he's far from exposed just yet.

Piranha Rama
Won three 6f Class 6 nurseries as a 2yo, including on Polytrack; short of her best on her last three starts though and perhaps vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.

- Gorgeous Mr George
- Jim Crowley / Dylan Cunha

Gorgeous Mr George
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps at Yarmouth two weeks ago (6f, good to firm; turf debut) but he raced more towards the middle of the track in a race where the action unfolded up the stands' rail; dropped 2lb and now tackles Class 6 company; can do better.

Ballsgrove Boy
Placed in three AW runs over the winter; fluffed his lines at Pontefract last month when reportedly unsuited by the undulating track; better expected back on AW.

Apple's Angel
Two 6f AW wins to her name, the latest over C&D in January off a 2lb lower mark; below par over 5f when last seen in February; opposable from the widest stall.
