Teviot Prince³⁵²

Age: 8| Weight: 12-3| J: Nathan Moscrop⁽⁵⁾| T: Gemma Anderson| OR: 102

16/1

Not raced under rules for over 900 days (November 2015) and was last seen in action winning a 3m Hexham Point-to-Point for Gary Rutherford in May 2017.

Form: P2P5/51-

Boy's On Tour¹⁰²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 97

3/1

Lightly raced and went close from a 2lb lower mark at Musselburgh in January on his penultimate start (2m4f soft) when beaten a short-head by Nefyn Bay; good ground point winner in April 2017.

Billy Flight^p1⁶⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Colm McCormack⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 96

16/1

Failed to complete in three starts for this handler since arriving from Ireland for £8,000 (ex Noel Meade). Sports first time cheek-pieces.

Form: 78PPFP-

Titian Boy^t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Henry Brooke| T: N W Alexander| OR: 94| D

7/1

Not stood all that much racing for his age with both chasing successes coming across at Ayr (2m4f soft). Ground conditions will be very different to what he encountered at Newcastle last month.

Form: 32/8444-

Las Tunas³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: R P McLernon| T: R M Smith| OR: 86| BF

4/1

Struggling lately, but theoretically sits on a mark which should make him competitive. Not won for over 15 months when staying on strongly to score by 2L from Casual Cavalier at Ayr (2m soft).

Form: P43235-

Cooper's Friend^p²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: R M Smith| OR: 84| BF| D

9/4

A Sedgefield winner for Charlie Longsdon (2m3f good) in August 2016, but it's been a case of barren times since. Falling sharply down the weights, but with good reason. Offered a bit more of a glimmer at Hexham latest.

Form: 344444-

Court Painter^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 74| D

13/2

Now 0 from 14 under rules, and has shown very little in four starts since finishing 2¾L third (33/1) to Bocasien Desbois at Market Rasen in March (2m5f+).

Form: P3P6-96

Forecasts

Cooper's Friend (9/4), Boy's On Tour (3/1), Las Tunas (4/1), Harleys Max (4/1), Court Painter (13/2), Titian Boy (7/1), Fit For Fifty (8/1), Billy Flight (16/1), Teviot Prince (16/1)

A good opportunity for the lightly raced Lucinda Russell trained BOY'S ON TOUR to record a first success under rules. A winner of a good ground point-to-point at Fairyhouse in April 2017, he shouldn't be at all bothered about today's forecast ground conditions despite his best effort under rules so far coming on soft ground at Musselburgh in January. He faces a largely exposed bunch of rivals which include the theoretically well-treated but under-performing duo Las Tunas and Cooper's Friend.
