Charencey

9st 6lb

J: Robert Dunne

T: Ian Williams

Goes well here but hasn't won in two years and become expensive to follow, finishing a beaten-favourite in two runs back; soft ground may have been behind his latest effort but he was withdrawn twice in May on account of good to firm, which is a worry.

J: Joe Leavy

T: Ian Williams

His losing run goes back to July 2024 and his mark has plummeted since but he could build on April's fifth at Nottingham; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Two 1m2f wins this year, the latest a fast-ground handicap at Leicester in May; respectable efforts since without hitting quite the same heights; should give a good account.

Myna

9st 9lb

J: David Egan

T: Tony Carroll

Has won twice this year and did well after a slow start to claim fourth in a similar race at Lingfield (1m2f, good) last month; if he breaks on terms then he holds strong claims.

Form & Verdict
Scrambled home in a 1m6f handicap here (good to firm) last month; no threat in an Epsom handicap since; drops in trip and wouldn't want this to become tactical.

Nymphaea

9st 10lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Jennie Candlish

She had signalled a breakthrough might be coming and it duly did in four-runner event at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) on Thursday; can probably cope with this drop back in trip but a 5lb penalty for that nose success does make life harder; still respected.

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Jennie Candlish

13-race maiden but she's been placed in a handicap at Newcastle (2m, AW) and a classified event at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft) on her last two outings; steps back up in trip with claims if handling this quicker ground.

Form & Verdict
Comfortable win in a similar event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in February; runner-up in Yarmouth events (1m2f/extended 1m3f) twice this month; another big run expected.

T: Michael Bell

Sole win from 15 starts came in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in February; ran a solid race following a break when runner-up in a handicap here (1m2f) one week ago and he makes the shortlist returned to this longer trip.

J: Paddy Hanlon

Irish raider; 0-5 on the Flat but kept on for second in low-grade Chepstow handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces a fortnight ago; can feature if he takes well to hurdling.

J: Finlay Bassett

T: John Joseph Hanlon

Irish raider who's making his second British start after finishing fourth, beaten 12l, in 1m4f Brighton classified (good to firm) on Monday; drops in trip with cheekpieces added and this won't take much winning.

Betting Forcast

7/2 Charencey, 4/1 Myna, 3/1 Nymphaea, 11/4 Spaceage Love Song, 16/1 Arc At Her, 5/1 Hello Garda

Verdict

Hello Garda can give a good account back on the Flat, while Myna (second choice) also comes right into the reckoning. SPACEAGE LOVE SONG arrives on the back of two good runs at Yarmouth and is tentatively preferred.[Paul Smith]
