Flash Bardot has previously run well fresh. Ready winner of a Class 3 handicap over 1m4f on seasonal debut last year from OR85. Rose Dawes claims 5lbs off of the 87 rating this year. Trainer Jack Channon (SR 42%) in strong form currently and jockey rode a winner from last two rides. The 5yo mare still looks well handicapped. Continued to progress last season. This may be a slightly delayed return and it's a hot race but got to be respected. Good all weather form.

Wants 1 mile on good ground. 3 wins from 30 starts on turf. Form has been patchy but reasonable. Well backed and sent off 7-2 favorite on penultimate start. Outside chance of success.

Interesting contender in a bumper at Stratford. Twiston-Davies yard has had success in this sphere of racing. Pulled too hard and ran poorly in two bumpers last year. Started at 10-1 in the first of those. Could be much more ready almost a year later. From a decent family which has won races for this yard (related to Colin's Brother and Colin's Sister). Big price at 66-1 in a race like this.

Has slipped to a mark well out of the handicap proper now. 40-1 winner at Downpatrick a year ago so not ruled out.

A very open handicap hurdle of two miles with few coming into the race in strong form. The handicap is mostly quite compact too so Kalanisi Dubh is the choice running off a mark of 94, 2lbs higher than for last of two wins from 20 goes in hurdle competition. Those wins were both over the short trip on soft and heavy ground so forecast rain is providential. Jake Coen claims 3lbs for trainer Seamus Fahey. Strange sort of form: always well off the pace and sometimes turns up to stay on late. Probably has a chance at this fairly modest level of competition.

I'm not sure about the odds of 2-1. That's short for a handicap. Nariko has a lot of ability and trainer Hugo Palmer will probably have been waiting for soft ground to run this 4yo filly by Night Of Thunder. Smart winner on soft at Haydock 6f just over a year ago beating Kodi Lion 2 lengths there (it was a strong handicap). Followed that with a win at Salisbury and neck second at Doncaster. Strange the stable hasn't tried this filly in higher grade company as she obviously has ability. Still well handicapped off OR84 (not even top weight) and has a big shout.

Ross O'Sullivan is another trainer coming back into form. A chance is taken on Club Manager here. Won and placed in low grade staying handicaps for Andrew Balding, a win and numerous decent efforts over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell before joining current trainer. Only five years old. Just one hurdle outing for the yard over 2m1f at Wexford last month. This is a big step up in trip but, by Nathaniel, Club Manager might come good for it. Handicap mark of 111 (11 stone 3 lbs) looks a bit tough so Tom Harney's 5lbs claim useful. An intriguing one.

Stepped up markedly on that when, having been fractious and thrown her jockey pre-race, produced a solid win beating a decent sort at Lingfield on second maiden start. Considerably up in class now but seems progressive. Pedigree offers hope. Her dam Enbihaar won three of three races at Goodwood all at Class 1 level in these owners' silks. Gosden stable in very good form (SR 26%). Jim Crowley rides. Some market support.

Oh, ok, there's a third stable runner in the picture! Woodstream Lad is the selection. Pippa (?) Elvin is the most experienced of the jockeys booked. The 8yo by Soldier Of Fortune ran a big race when second at Leopardstown in November 2023. Two wins either side of that. Runs off 6lbs higher than last winning mark. Good race.
