Prediction Leader
A Major Payne (GB)
0%
Placed three consecutive times before leading close home to open account at Nottingham (1m2f, good; front pair clear) on Wednesday, carries 5lb penalty here but should be fine on the forecast slower ground; ought to be right in the thick of things again.
Rest of field
Kokanee (IRE)
0%
Yet to make any significant further progress since winning handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, good) in spring 2025 but went close at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) two starts ago and should cope if the ground remains soft.
King's Hand (GB)
0%
Signed off for Sir Mark Prescott with 1m2f AW win here in January and has performed well on all four starts for new stable, most notably when recovering from a slow start to win over C&D (1m2f, good) last month; still unexposed on turf but he often races too freely and is a bit of a character.
Bintkend (IRE)
0%
Unexposed filly; did not live up to pedigree in her three qualifying races but kept on for third behind a fairly useful filly in a Wolverhampton maiden (9.4f, AW) in February and could have significant improvement to come in handicaps.
Kaaranah (IRE)
0%
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored.
Bobacious (GB)
0%
Front-runner who gave good account when placed behind King's Hand over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; that run came after a layoff and he remains on a good mark; handles good to soft (unraced on anything slower); no surprise if he makes a bold bid.
Birthday Angel (IRE)
0%
Scored on the Flat at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) in October and added two hurdle wins to his tally the following month; probably still on a workable Flat mark and seems versatile regarding ground but has fitness to prove after 172-day absence.
