Lady Bacchus^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: R C Guest| OR: 55

4/1

In and out performer who is top weight here courtesy of a C&D success from 6lb lower last month. Comfortably accounted for at Newcastle last time out and poor draw to overcome here, so perhaps one to take on today.

Form: 024172-

Frank The Barber^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Beschizza| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 54

7/2

C&D winner winner from a mark of 50 in 2015 and not much higher than that today. Been going reasonably well in defeat and entitled to finish closer this time.

Form: 513333

(5)

Dream Ally^b,e/s¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J R Weymes| OR: 51

5/2

3lb higher than his last success and a three times winner here over 6f. Clearly not the force he once was and likely to find a few too good once again.

Form: 253533

(2)

Lizzy's Dream¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 48

9/2

Being given a chance by the assessor now, though most recent run from this mark suggested that he will need a further drop in the weights to be winning for a sixth time.

Form: 553372

Rat Catcher^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Jordan Uys⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 47

28/1

3lb lower than when scoring here over C&D 14 months ago, but has not shown enough of late to believe that a sudden revival is on the cards.

Form: 65-8978

(4)

Teepee Time¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 46

16/1

Races from the same mark as when a 66/1 runner-up here last month. Little other inspirational form, including last time at Kempton, so those getting involved will have to pin their hopes on the return to C&D being significant.

Form: 8-29153

Whispering Wolf²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 45

17/2

1-19 with that sole win being in a Ripon seller in 2015. Handles this track well enough and made the frame at Newcastle from this mark, so has claims of some money from an inside pitch.

Form: 998930

(6)

Edith Weston^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45

20/1

Same mark as when runner-up on fast ground at Nottingham last year, but well held on last two starts and couldn't be supported with real confidence.

Form: 6539-09

(7)

Warm Order¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

22/1

Won both a maiden and a handicap here and, while there have been some near misses since, she continues to extend a lengthy losing run and can be opposed from out of the handicap.

Form: 7728-77

Forecasts

Fabulous Flyer (9/4), Dream Ally (5/2), Frank The Barber (7/2), Lady Bacchus (4/1), Lizzy's Dream (9/2), Whispering Wolf (17/2), Teepee Time (16/1), Edith Weston (20/1), Warm Order (22/1), Harpers Ruby (25/1), Rat Catcher (28/1)

One of those races where caution is advised and the vote just about goes to FABULOUS FLYER, who is more likely than most to give her running. Whispering Wolf and Frank The Barber are suggestions to make the frame. 1. Fabulous Flyer 2. Whispering Wolf 3. Frank The Barber
