Spinart²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Gina Andrews| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 65

3/1

Has taken time this season to build on last year's efforts but latest run over C&D on good-to-soft ground confirmed he was there. Has the services of a rider with 24 winners under rules and likely to be involved if able to handle the forecast quicker conditions.

Form: 763-073

(6)

Swansway¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64

8/1

Trainer and rider have been a formidable force in these events and boast a 13-57 strike rate for a 23 points level stakes profit. Has a better profile on AW surfaces but he went well enough over 1m4f at Ripon last time to suggest he will be in the mix here.

Form: 224863

Gold Merlion^b1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Emma Bedford⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 63

33/1

Lightly campaigned since his debut success in 2015. Recent form is unconvincing and it remains to be seen if blinkers have a positive effect.

Form: 30/74-95

(8)

Bahamian C^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

10/1

Has gone 24 races and almost three years since his last success. Stable have been quieter of late and this may not be the time for him to end that run.

Form: 23-0377

Diamonds A Dancing^h¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Abbie McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 60

12/1

Ridden to get this trip on his fist attempt last time. Gave every indication he will get this far and has claims for a father and daughter combination that had a winner at Wolverhampton on Monday.

Form: 1339-65

Caribbean Spring³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss K Margarson⁽⁵⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 58

16/1

Broke his duck at Wolverhampton in April and has struggled off his revised mark since. Gets some respite here as he tackles a new trip under a rider with a career record of 4-44.

Form: 40-4174

(11)

Callaghan^t³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Page Fuller| T: T R Gretton| OR: 58

33/1

Still a maiden and well held on his latest start at Ripon (possibly unsuited by the soft ground). Fifth the time before at Wolverhampton would be his best recent run but work to do even based on that performance.

Form: 276/0-57

(7)

Muzaahim^p,h⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 57

40/1

Produced one of his better efforts on his last race over this trip. Remains a maiden after 15 races and headgear reveals he is not straightforward.

Form: 3-20360

(2)

Inspector Norse^p⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Mrs Emily Roberts⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| D

9/2

Without a win since 2014 and has not looked ready to end that run lately including two races under this pilot.

Form: 980-646

(4)

Enchanted Moment²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 54

10/1

Signs of ability on AW tracks and best turf form has come with some give underfoot. Irish amateur booked by a yard that had a winner with their first runner on Tuesday.

Form: 598238-

(14)

Tingo In The Tale^p⁵³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Forbes| OR: 52

20/1

Three wins in 2011-2012 but has drawn a blank since and he has raced over much further lately. Has flattered to deceive on a number of occasions since his last victory and remains to be seen if a change of scenery can inspire him. Rider has a 3-13 career record.

Form: 323738

(16)

Firestorm¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: R Ford| OR: 50

12/1

Has a career record of 1-36 with that victory coming in Germany three years ago. Hard to recommend on current evidence.

Form: 604966

(9)

Ted's Brother¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Miss A Peck⁽⁵⁾| T: Laura Morgan| OR: 49| C

7/1

Veteran is a good ride for an amateur and latest run over this trip at Ayr confirms his wellbeing. Had a few of these behind that day and there is every chance he can give his rider her first winner.

Form: 523822

(5)

Graceful Act¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: R E Barr| OR: 45| D

20/1

Two of his three wins have come under lady riders and he gets the services of one of the best in the business here.

Form: 619-797

Forecasts

Spinart (3/1), Inspector Norse (9/2), Ted's Brother (7/1), Swansway (8/1), Bahamian C (10/1), Enchanted Moment (10/1), Diamonds A Dancing (12/1), Firestorm (12/1), Cougar Kid (14/1), Caribbean Spring (16/1), Tingo In The Tale (20/1), Graceful Act (20/1), Leonardo (20/1), Gold Merlion (33/1), Callaghan (33/1), Muzaahim (40/1)

Ted's Brother can generally be relied upon in this class of event and arrives following a solid effort at Ayr last time when a few of these were behind. He looks set to be thereabouts once more but may find SWANSWAY too good for him. He represents a trainer/rider combination to be feared in these races and his latest effort underlines he is standing his racing well. An ability to get further than this can be an asset as they often go a strong gallop and Cougar Kid looks set to do just that. Spinart and Diamonds A Dancing have respected riders on board and boast solid each-way claims.
