14/1
Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Last of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good) 5 days ago. Went close off 1 lb higher on latest AW start and he could have a part to play if returning to this surface works the oracle.

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he merits consideration.

9/4
Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 15/2) 24 days ago. 5 lb rise very fair given the way he drew clear in the closing stages and he will have every chance if able to build on that.

15/8
13/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Booking of Marquand a plus and he has to enter calculations.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 17/2). Off 158 days and he's likely to find one or two too good.

Sixth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Readily passed over.

18/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 15 days ago. 2 lb rise for that near miss is fair enough and he's one to consider.

Forecasts

Dream Pirate (15/8), Hoornblower (9/4), Arika (5/1), Rogue Soldier (6/1), Resonance (7/1), Shot Of Love (14/1), We'renotreallyhere (18/1), Light Up Our Stars (20/1), Pour Me A Drink (150/1)

Verdict

It remains to be seen if HOORNBLOWER will be able to build on last month's C&D breakthrough success but this low-mileage 5-y-o will take plenty of stopping if able to do so, given that a 5 lb rise for that decisive display does not look at all harsh. There are several dangers, headed by Dream Pirate, who has the assistance of Tom Marquand. Rogue Soldier, Light Up Our Stars and We'renotreallyhere all have claims, too, while Shot of Love is also worth a second look back on the all-weather.
