Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss K Brown| OR: 60

3/1

Irish-raider winner at Dundalk over 7f last month before beaten at same track earlier in the month. Winner in this class in the past and worth a market check.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 58

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 58| D

5/1

Improved performance at this track over 5f when third of 11 beaten 2¾L earlier this month. Vast improvement needed and now 14lb lower than last win.

Form: 0006-36

Fantasy Justifier^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: R Harris| OR: 56| D

4/1

Distance winner but without a win since May 2016. Has gone well recently on Kempton's Polytrack and needs to improve but not ruled out.

Frank The Barber^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 53

6/1

Without a win in six attempts here but has gone well recently here over C&D and could have his say off a mark 2lb lower than last win.

Form: 03724-2

Firesnake^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 48| CD

8/1

Hard to catch right, as a 2-33 record shows, but this C&D suits and he has more than enough decent efforts at it to suggest he can get involved if he's on a going day.

Form: 53938-4

Barnsdale¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Ellingworth⁽⁷⁾| T: J R Holt| OR: 45

33/1

Long-standing 27-race maiden who hasn't been beaten far on occasions but tends to flatter to deceive. Without a win in five here and thats unlikely to change.

Form: 4449-54

Forecasts

Secret Memories (3/1), Fantasy Justifier (4/1), Fareeq (5/1), Dream Ally (6/1), Frank The Barber (6/1), Firesnake (8/1), Who Told Jo Jo (12/1), Billyoakes (14/1), Spellmaker (16/1), Barnsdale (33/1)

Billyoakes and Frank The Barber could duel for the early lead here from stall's four and five with Secret Memories chasing behind. The Steph Hollinshead-trained FRANK THE BARBER is taken to see off Billyoakes and to break his duck at this track at the seventh attempt, second of nine beaten 1¾L set's a good base to land the spoils here. Irish raider Secret Memories and distance winner Fareeq are the dangers to the selection.
