- Bizou
- Rob Hornby / J G Portman
|
|
|
4/1 |
Bizou
Initial refusal to settle found her out on last month's Windsor return rather than the step up to 1m (good to firm; beaten 10l); initial mark looks about right if last year's Salisbury Class 2 run is taken as gospel.

Turpin
Likely attainment level in handicaps not easily determined from last month's Epsom run (wouldn't settle; hung off home bend); wind surgery since, and now returns to scene of best novice/maiden effort (albeit over 7f).

Bintshuaa
Disputed lead appeared more the issue than the step up from sprint trips when just over 1l third on this month's C&D handicap/stable debut (English Lady sixth); mark unchanged, and slightly better drawn tonight.

- Billy Loughnane / Harry Charlton

9/4 |
Opening Bat
Too free on return from four months out at Bath last month (1m, good to firm), but his 1l fourth still represented a clear personal best; easier task than on sole previous Polytrack start (Class 3 novice).

Le Pelerin
Not yet done with when hitting traffic at Wolverhampton latest (7f; beaten 10l); that effort can be marked up and it was his best to date, but likely another big leap forward required to defy a stiff opening mark.

9/1 |
Beta Reader
Got up on the line from an unpromising position on March's Wolverhampton handicap debut (7f), and maybe best excused a moderate follow-up effort back there after spending too long on the outer; some encouragement for 1m on breeding, for all that the dam was a winning sprinter.

- Joe Leavy / R Hannon

Kebili
1m trip should have suited on breeding, so have to hope last month's anonymous Nottingham eleventh on seasonal/handicap debut was simply needed; not the appeal of some despite a 3lb drop.

A La Louche
Not obviously well treated on the basis of her efforts in 6f-7f novice/maiden class last autumn, but betrayed inexperience at least once; new trip likelier to be in range, and a threat to all if more mature now.

- Tiempo Alegre
- Hector Crouch / Jack Jones

16/1 |
Tiempo Alegre
Last-gasp Southwell scorer in December (7f) but frequently a hostage to fortune with her hold-up race style and hasn't faced this many rivals since her debut 12 runs ago; 3lb above that winning mark.

- English Lady
- R Havlin / D K Ivory

10/1 |
English Lady
Hasn't gone on from November's 33-1 Chelmsford debut success (7f), failing again to convince over 1m when three places and over 3l behind Bintshuaa over this C&D latest; further 2lb drop isn't persuasive.

Letsbeatsepsis
RPRs continue to paint a regressive profile, but this is appreciably easier than the Class 4s of either 2025 start and his dam landed her sole 1m score over this C&D; not without interest; blinkers go on.

Champagne Belle
One-paced when it mattered over 7f here back in February; sensible on that basis to return to the trip of her best effort to date, on which piece of form she looks realistically treated for handicaps, too.

15/2 |
Take The Boat
3-3 in handicaps here (one C&D) under Rob Hornby, who partners Bizou instead; latest effort necessarily ignored (hampered and stumbled early) and this should reveal more as to whether the assessor is now on top.

- Charlie Bennett / I Mohammed

Frostmagic
Game Doncaster scorer latest, the improvement presumably attributed to the gelding operation rather than the 1m2f considering this immediate drop back in trip; 3lb rise tolerable, but drawn widest again.
