1st (5) Tawtheef (2.5/1 +38%)
Tawtheef

2.5
2.5/1(+38%)
(5) Tawtheef 2.5/1, Won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/1) when last seen in December. Nudged up just 2 lb, it's not hard to envisage this 5-y-o playing a part in the finish here.
6
2nd (6) London (3.2/1 +42%)
London

3.2
3.2/1(+42%)
(6) London 3.2/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) 7 days ago. Now 0-10, but has shown enough to believe there's a race to be won with her and she's an each-way player.
4
3rd (4) Carmela Soprano (16/1 -14%)
Carmela Soprano

16
16/1(-14%)
(4) Carmela Soprano 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 7 days ago, met some trouble. Capable of making an impact off this mark, but she's rather in-and-out.
1
4th (1) Bbob Alula (5.5/1 -65%)
Bbob Alula

5.5
5.5/1(-65%)
(1) Bbob Alula 5.5/1, Untrustworthy individual. Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 8/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and more will be needed off this 4 lb higher mark.
3
5th (3) Too Shy Shy (3.5/1 +0%)
Too Shy Shy

3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(3) Too Shy Shy 3.5/1, Course winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. 1 lb lower now and could be about to snap her losing run.
2
6th (2) Uther Pendragon (5/1 -11%)
Uther Pendragon

5
5/1(-11%)
(2) Uther Pendragon 5/1, Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 11/4, third of 4 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Likely to be on the premises once again, but his AW strike rate (0-23) is off-putting from a win point of view.
8
7th (8) Blairlogie (80/1 -21%)
Blairlogie

80
80/1(-21%)
(8) Blairlogie 80/1, Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. 66/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f). Off 115 days and significantly back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere.
7
8th (7) Dancing Jo (40/1 -21%)
Dancing Jo

40
40/1(-21%)
(7) Dancing Jo 40/1, Course winner. Thirty-three runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Will probably be found wanting once more.
9
9th (9) Dylan's Ruby (33/1 +34%)
Dylan's Ruby

33
33/1(+34%)
(9) Dylan's Ruby 33/1, 40/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Leicester (10f, good) 28 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Merlin's Beard

11
11/1(-29%)
(5) Merlin's Beard 11/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f, 3/1) 36 days ago. Back down in trip. Might strip fitter for that return but needs a career best.

2nd (6) Party Island (10/1 -11%)
Party Island

10
10/1(-11%)
(6) Party Island 10/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Considered.

Nietzsche's Star

5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(5) Nietzsche's Star 5.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in minor event (33/1) at Newbury (7f, good). Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and needs to take a sizeable step forward, but he's in good hands and has been gelded since latest start.

2nd (3) Major Gatsby (5.5/1 -57%)
Major Gatsby

5.5
5.5/1(-57%)
(3) Major Gatsby 5.5/1, Three wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 32 days ago, digging deep. 3 lb rise fair enough and couldn't rule out in current form, albeit return to turf is a concern (0-4 on grass).
11

Clipsham Gold

2.25
2.25/1(+68%)
(11) Clipsham Gold 2.25/1, Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f, 9/1), slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby and opposable back from a 165-day absence.

Baileys Liberty

8
8/1(-78%)
(1) Baileys Liberty 8/1, Good third of 9 in handicap on the AW course here (7f, 18/1) 11 days ago. 1 lb lower now and a reproduction of that effort will put her firmly in the picture now returned to turf.
6
5th (6) Hines (16/1 +52%)
Hines

16
16/1(+52%)
(6) Hines 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Newbury (8f, heavy). Off 7 months and it's hard to envisage him making an impact on this handicap debut.
9
6th (9) Juanita (14/1 +13%)
Juanita

14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Juanita 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in minor event on the AW course here (7f, 16/1). Off 6 months and good deal more required now that she ventures down the handicap route.
7
7th (7) Renegade Rose (3.5/1 +36%)
Renegade Rose

3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(7) Renegade Rose 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 9 in handicap on the AW course here (7f, 18/1) 11 days ago. Will be a threat if handling conditions back on turf (conditions were testing when runner-up on sole previous turf start).
4
8th (4) Romantic Memories (20/1 +0%)
Romantic Memories

20
20/1(+0%)
(4) Romantic Memories 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs to raise her game.

2/1(+20%)
(2) Elsals 2/1, Promising sort. First run since leaving Richard Hannon when fifth of 7 in minor event on the AW course here (7f, 8/13) 49 days ago, finishing with running left. Gelded since and cheekpieces on 1st time. Should be in the mix with improvement likely.

4.5/1(+18%)
(1) Cabinet Of Clowns 4.5/1, Once-raced gelding. Fourth of 6 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 20/1) on debut 20 days ago. Open to improvement and he's high on the shortlist.

(4) Glory And Gold 2/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/8) 7 days ago, running on. Represents top, in-form yard and she should have a say in the finish.

Soi Dao

10
10/1(+29%)

Seascape Girl

5
5/1(-43%)
(6) Seascape Girl 5/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/3, second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f). Off 6 months and while more will be needed here, this daughter of Time Test should have more to offer as a 3-y-o.
7
7th (7) Storytime (50/1 -52%)
Storytime

50
50/1(-52%)
(7) Storytime 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 20/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 126 days and needs to raise her game considerably.

News Girl

40

(5) News Girl 40/1, £23,000 2-y-o, New Bay filly. Half-sister to 6f-1m winner Gellhorn. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time-out winner.

Otago

11
11/1(-57%)
(1) Otago 11/1, Landed back-to-back Epsom handicaps (7f) last summer. Merely ticked over subsequently, fifth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 11/2) 25 days ago, steady progress 2f out but never better than midfield. Still, this drop in grade rates a plus.

Latent Heat

16
16/1(-45%)

25/1(-178%)

4
8th (4) Gherkin (8.5/1 -42%)
Gherkin

8.5
8.5/1(-42%)
(4) Gherkin 8.5/1, Dual 6f winner at Kempton in the autumn and he ran well when runner-up on return at Windsor (6f) in April. Not in quite the same form when fifth at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago but certainly no forlorn hope in an open-looking affair.
9
9th (9) Fire In The Rain (14/1 +30%)
Fire In The Rain

14
14/1(+30%)
(9) Fire In The Rain 14/1, Maiden who has yet to figure in 3 starts for present stable but did catch the eye to an extent at Beverley (8.5f) on penultimate start in April. Arrives here operating from career-low mark and she could be worth a second look.
3
10th (3) Ajrad (3/1 +25%)
Ajrad

3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Ajrad 3/1, Unlucky not to win on the AW here on return and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when close-up fifth of 6 in a C&D handicap (good) 14 days ago. Should give another good account.
6
11th (6) Basharat (66/1 -371%)
Basharat

66
