Alexander James^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 50| CD

15/2

C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Can be competitive at this level.

Annalee Lass^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: P D Niven| OR: 47| CD

16/1

Won twice in spring 2023. Largely consistent thereafter and returned from 12 months off with a creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) 13 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Possible she can build on that.

Form: 33369/7-

Calcutta Dream^h²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 50| C

13/2

Course winner who wasn't seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/1) 24 days ago, never a threat having been left poorly placed. Up to playing his part at this level.

Cherry King^t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 49

1/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 49 days ago, not clear run final 1f and nearest finish. Makes tapeta debut and he has a race of this nature in him.

Form: 99/5544-

Eva Rosie⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 44

12/1

Modest filly. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f, 25/1) 56 days ago, weakening when short of room over 2f out. Back down in trip. Must improve.

Form: 263398-

Inexplicable^t⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 44| CD

40/1

C&D winner. 15/2, ran below form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in October, no extra final 1f. Given a break and he needs to pull out a little more back from a break.

Form: 379055-

Making A Move^h⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: D Bourke| OR: 44| BF

11/2

Offered little all 5 starts in Irish maidens yet, after 5 months off/yard switch, showed first form when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 56 days ago, looking stretched by the longer trip. One to consider dropping back to 1m.

Form: 000006-

(8)

Stoneacre Girl⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 46

25/1

Maiden who made some late gains without threatening when sixth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f) 66 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 692586-

Forecasts

Cherry King (1/1), Making A Move (11/2), Calcutta Dream (13/2), Alexander James (15/2), Eva Rosie (12/1), Annalee Lass (16/1), Likleman (16/1), Stoneacre Girl (25/1), Inexplicable (40/1)

An open-looking contest with the narrow vote in favour of 4-y-o CHERRY KING. He has a race of this nature within his grasp judged on the pick of his efforts on all-weather and could be the way to go on his first crack at this level. Calcutta Dream and Alexander James are others to consider, with Making A Move another well worthy of a second look.
