Ingleby Hollow^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 67| BF| D

9/4

Not the most consistent sort but went close last time when narrowly defeated at Doncaster. Yard do well here but this gelding's hold up style perhaps not best suited to this course.

Form: 81647-2

(8)

Saved By The Bell³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 67| D

4/1

Losing run goes all the way back to 2015 and while he's been running okay in defeat of late, he would probably want faster ground than what is likely here.

Form: 73447-3

(14)

Hearty²⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 64| BF

22/1

Won twice in 2016 but only seen twice last year and his tendency to miss the break unlikely to help him here. Entitled to need this returning from an absence on debut for new yard.

Form: 1185/37-

(7)

Captain Swift^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: J Mackie| OR: 62| D

9/1

His most recent wins have come at Wolverhampton over this trip but has won on turf earlier in his career and seemingly doesn't mind some cut in the ground. Jockey booking looks like a positive and not dismissed.

Form: 14-4630

(4)

Calliope^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Kenneth Slack| OR: 59

7/1

Just one win from 12 starts, that effort coming at Thirsk back in 2016. Largely below that level of form since and handicapper has been slow to give her relief.

Form: 3/9735-6

(5)

In Focus^h¹⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 55| C

25/1

Losing run stretches back to 2015 but has been running well since switched to staying trips under his new trainer. Has run well fresh before and can't be ruled out.

Form: 028228-

Lord Franklin^p,t1¹⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: Jason Hart| T: A Crook| OR: 50| C

66/1

In a very poor run of form at present and tailed off last at Newcastle in April. Risky proposition at present.

Form: 09-4670

(11)

Adrakhan¹⁷⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: W Storey| OR: 48| D

12/1

Won twice last year, both runs coming on good to firm ground but has run well with cut underfoot, as seen at Redcar last time. Each-way claims if ready to go on return to action.

Form: 410352-

(13)

Urban Spirit¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 46

7/1

Still a maiden after 14 starts. Not disgraced when third of 12 at Newcastle last time on first try over a staying trip but needs to build on that now.

Form: 474-303

(3)

Allfredandnobell^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45| C

9/1

Both wins have come over hurdles at this course but yet to show much ability on the Flat and still a maiden after 16 starts in this sphere.

Form: 826/054-

(6)

Ejabah³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 45

125/1

Still a maiden after 16 starts and beaten out of sight on last few efforts. Takes a significant step up in trip here but hard to fancy from out of the handicap.

Form: 7349-09

(10)

Got My Mojo⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: Gary Sanderson| OR: 45

100/1

Shown nothing in three starts to date, going off at triple figure odds on each outing. Takes a big step up in trip for handicap debut but near impossible to fancy.

Form: 90-8

Weight: 9-2| Age: 7

T: Miss L C Siddall J: J Garritty

T: T Coyle & K Wood J: Barry McHugh

Forecasts

Ingleby Hollow (9/4), Saved By The Bell (4/1), Calliope (7/1), Urban Spirit (7/1), Allfredandnobell (9/1), Captain Swift (9/1), Adrakhan (12/1), Paddy's Rock (12/1), Rock On Bollinski (16/1), Hearty (22/1), In Focus (25/1), Lord Franklin (66/1), Got My Mojo (100/1), Ejabah (125/1)

CAPTAIN SWIFT gets the tentative vote in a wide open contest. He was disappointing last time out but he's proven over the trip and gets the assistance of Franny Norton in the saddle. Paddy's Rock and In Focus both have each-way claims with preference for the latter given that he has won when fresh before.
