Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs P Sly| OR: 80

13/2

Winner of two races in May but his latest effort puts him back up to a mark from which he has struggled. Stable going well with a 3-8 record in past 14 days.

Golden Bowl²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77| D

66/1

Tailed off on return from a three year absence and current for of stable does not suggest he will have improved enough in the interim.

Form: 75670/8

Henry Smith^b,e/s²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: J R Weymes| OR: 76| CD

14/1

C&D winner who was third in this last year. Now 7lb lower and that reflects a drop in form this season. Better ground will help and he is hard to discount.

Form: 137-444

Sennockian Star¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76| D

14/1

Mark is plummeting after a dreadful run of results and we have seen him bounce back before. Has a decent strike rate in this grade and four years since he ran off a mark this low.

Form: 606787

Northwest Frontier¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80

9/4

Lightly raced sort who has faced difficult tasks on his last two starts. Ought to have a race of this calibre in him and definitely one for the shortlist.

Mr Sundowner^t²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 73| CD

14/1

Sprang a 16/1 surprise to land a class two event from out of the handicap over C&D last month. Did so from out of the handicap and assessor has taken a lenient view.

Ray's The Money^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tristan Price⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 79

Form: 126955

Jabbaar²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Makin| T: I Jardine| OR: 72

7/1

Just the one success to his name and tackles a new trip which he should get. Mark looks fair and rain would help his cause.

Form: 367303

Peterhouse^p³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: J Ward| OR: 71

12/1

Without a win since 2015 but has run consistently well in defeat. Cheekpieces are back and top rider has been booked. Should be in the thick of things once again.

Form: 534532

Omotesando^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 67| D

20/1

Winner of a Haydock apprentice event and has held his form well since apart from one race on heavy ground. Should run his race once more under these conditions, but he may need a few of these to falter.

Form: 321362

Only Orsenfoolsies¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 67| C| D

20/1

Has not won a race of any description since May 2015. Will improve for his recent C&D spin but remains hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Northwest Frontier (9/4), Sellingallthetime (6/1), Vernatti (13/2), Jabbaar (7/1), Tamayuz Magic (10/1), Peterhouse (12/1), Ray's The Money (12/1), Theos Lolly (12/1), Henry Smith (14/1), Sennockian Star (14/1), Mr Sundowner (14/1), Only Orsenfoolsies (20/1), Omotesando (20/1), Albert's Back (22/1), Golden Bowl (66/1)

SELLINGALLTHETIME is the selection to follow up his success in this two years ago. The booking of David Egan catches the eye for a horse who saves his best for this circuit. Northwest Frontier is feared in this easier contest and given his room for improvement. Peterhouse and Henry Smith both have solid claims, whilst Vernatti comes from a yard who are red hot at the moment.
