Pool Value: £9.30

Sir Les Patterson has more to prove on turf than AW but he ran okay at Newbury 19 days ago and dropping to 5f could see him finally deliver on the grass. Last year's winner Isle Of Lismore is 7lb lower this time around and he's greatly respected but with a good pace seeming likely, it could be left to northern raider DURAN to deliver a knockout blow. Nigel Tinkler's 4yo was on the up last year and there were plenty of positives to take from his Beverley reappearance. Tom Marquand is a rare, but notable booking for the yard and the selection could well have more to offer after only 11 starts. Blue Day and Fletcher's Flight are others who have more to come at 5f.[Paul Smith]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
1 (2)	Zoulu Chief Hollie Doyle / H Main	4yrs / 9st 10lb 8095-0 Spotlight	30	12/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Zoulu Chief Promising 2yo, notably when running out the easy winner of a big nursery at York's Ebor meeting (6f, good to firm); well beaten on his return from a 399-day break at Newbury 19 days ago but he raced too freely early on; should be quick enough for 5f and this is a drop in class; better expected.
2 (1)	Sir Les Patterson Oisin Murphy / Harry Eustace	4yrs / 9st 9lb 000-17 Spotlight	88	11/2	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Sir Les Patterson All his best efforts have come on AW and he could only manage seventh of 11 at Newbury on his return to turf 19 days ago (6f, good); drop to 5f could spark extra though and he's on the same mark as when winning stylishly at Wolverhampton last month; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; chance.
3 (10)	Blind Beggar Frederick Larson / M Appleby	7yrs / 9st 7lb 2-3459 Spotlight	100	22/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Blind Beggar Fluffed his lines at Wolverhampton last month but he had turned in a string of good AW runs beforehand; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today (first use since January 2023); handicapped to go well but others might be better suited by the drying ground.
4 (6)	Duran Tom Marquand / N Tinkler	4yrs / 9st 7lb 1718-2 Spotlight	96	5/2	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Duran Progressive 3yo, winning three times (5f to 6f); ran right up to his best at Beverley on his seasonal return (5f, good) two weeks ago, challenging in the final furlong but unable to repel the late thrust of a progressive sprinter; mark left unchanged and there could well be more to come this year; Tom Marquand 3-14 for the stable with a further five placed; big run expected.
5 (7)	Rebel Empire Joe Leavy / R Hannon	4yrs / 9st 6lb 1-6103 Spotlight	78	14/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Rebel Empire His form has taken off since fitted with a tongue tie, winning three 6f AW handicaps around the turn of the year; ran to a similar level when third of four at Newcastle seven weeks ago; will need to pull out a bit more to defy this mark but he looks quick enough for the return to 5f.
6 (9)	Good Earth Benoit D L Sayette / M Herrington	8yrs / 9st 6lb 200-83 Spotlight	100	12/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Good Earth Multiple winner down the years; stepped up on his reappearance effort (5f, AW) when finishing third at Beverley two weeks ago; might find some of his younger rivals better treated.
7 (3)	Jenever Lewis Edmunds / Jessica Macey	6yrs / 9st 5lb 2402-5 Spotlight	100	8/1	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Jenever Wouldn't look to have a lot of wiggle room off his current mark but this month's reappearance should have sharpened him up and dropping back to 5f in his favour too.
8 (5)	Blue Day Callum Shepherd / Harry Charlton	4yrs / 9st 5lb 3206-0 Spotlight	97	15/2	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Blue Day Not seen to best effect on his return to action at Kempton two weeks ago (6f); a strongly-run 5f could suit this free-going sort and he's on a fair mark on his best efforts; still has low mileage.
9 (8)	Isle Of Lismore K Shoemark / R M H Cowell	7yrs / 9st 2lb 5977-4 Spotlight	108	10/3	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Isle Of Lismore 7lb lower than when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago (good to soft); came into last year's race off the back of a good run at the Craven meeting and it is the same this time round as he wasn't beaten far into fourth at Newmarket 13 days ago; more appealing than many.
10 (4)	Fletcher's Flight Billy Loughnane / P J McBride	5yrs / 8st 12lb 3115-3 Spotlight	98	7/2	1st	2nd	3rd	Any
Fletcher's Flight Improved for the drop to 5f last season, winning at Yarmouth (good to firm) and Leicester (soft); promising reappearance at Yarmouth 25 days ago (6f, good) and better is expected back at this trip with the run behind him.
