Zapper Cass¹⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 70

13/2

Is now 8lb lower than when winning at Nottingham last June and has joined a yard that do very well with their recruits from elsewhere. Rider claims a handy 7lb and market move would be significant.

Form: 984978-

Suitcase 'n' Taxi¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hannah Worrall⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| C

5/2

Inconsistent type who has dropped 1lb below his last winning mark. Beaten a long way though on his comeback run at Thirsk and impossible to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 81758-0

(3)

Foxtrot Knight¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sebastian Woods| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 68| D

9/4

In pretty good from of late without winning. On a good mark based on his old form and likely to give his running once again. Each way claims.

Form: 488-462

(4)

Mr Strutter¹⁰⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Josh Quinn| T: Ronald Thompson| OR: 64| D

16/1

On his last winning mark but has not been in the same form since joining this yard and will need to put in a better performance before becoming of interest.

Form: 16006-5

Foxy Boy⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 64| D

8/1

Won off 70 last season but has largely struggled since. So whilst you can make a clear case from a handicapping perspective, it's hard to be confident until he shows a bit more.

Form: 09-6476

(6)

Barron's Lad³⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Sanderson| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 62

5/1

Starts life for a new trainer after over a year off the track. Difficult to know what to expect and market best guide.

Form: 1388/00-

(8)

Kodimoor^h,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 59| D

33/1

Still a couple of pounds higher than his last wining mark and return at Southwell (5f, AW) was very tame. Best watched for now.

Forecasts

Foxtrot Knight (9/4), Suitcase 'n' Taxi (5/2), Coiste Bodhar (3/1), Barron's Lad (5/1), Zapper Cass (13/2), Foxy Boy (8/1), Mr Strutter (16/1), Kodimoor (33/1)

Coiste Bodhar likes to bowl along in front and he could have several of these at it some way out. Hard to make a case for many of the others but we will take him on with ZAPPER CASS. The selection is well handicapped on his old form and has joined a yard that do very well with their recruits from elsewhere. His riders claim only adds to his chances.
