Dark Magic^h¹⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 76

8/1

Lightly-raced winner, returns to the track for the first time in 2018. Was in decent form at Lingfield (1m, AW) when last spotted and would be in the mix if stripping fit and repeating that.

Form: 51002-

Desert Dream^t1²⁸⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| DWS

25/1

Oasis Dream gelding has had wind surgery and a change of scenery since last spotted nine month ago. Was below par at the end of last campaign and perhaps best watched for now.

Form: 7/51586-

Mr Tyrrell¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

4/1

Now a 16-race maiden but enough signs that he can alter that stat sooner rather than later, good third at Chepstow recently and gets in here from the same mark.

Form: 052-023

Khitaamy³¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 75

50/1

Maiden winner last summer at Catterick over 7f, left Ed Dunlop shortly afterwards and has near 320-day absence to overcome on handicap bow.

Form: 3451-

(5)

Archie^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Spencer| OR: 74

9/1

Six-year-old hasn't got his head in front since 2014, a sequence that now stands at 21 runs. Well held at Thirsk over this trip last time and has plenty to find seemingly.

Form: 5082-56

(11)

Lucky Louie^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R A Teal| OR: 71

6/1

Turf maiden and now has a string of runner-up finishes on his record (five), ran another encouraging race here over 7f last time and expected to be in contention again.

Form: 32222-2

(8)

God Willing^t,v³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 70| D

5/2

No win since 2016 but much better effort at Redcar (1m, good) this week when second and an obvious contender if he turns up here in the same vein of form.

Form: 43-0602

(7)

Brother McGonagall³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

16/1

Beat only rival home on reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) last time out, handicap mark gives him scope to do well if finding form.

Form: 53580-0

(1)

Steal The Scene¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Josephine Gordon| T: K Frost| OR: 64

13/2

On an extended losing run (26) but shaped much better at Ayr 10 days ago when a never nearer third and should be well suited now going back up in distance.

Form: 393233

(2)

Tadaany²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| BF| D

16/1

Forcing tactics didn't pay off last time out at Beverley and no win in 19 now, dating back to 2016. Hard to make case for on recent form.

Form: 3754-40

Forecasts

God Willing (5/2), Mr Tyrrell (4/1), Lucky Louie (6/1), Steal The Scene (13/2), Dark Magic (8/1), Archie (9/1), Fashaak (14/1), Brother McGonagall (16/1), Tadaany (16/1), Desert Dream (25/1), Khitaamy (50/1)

MR TYRRELL gets the nod on the back of another positive outing at Chepstow last time. He was only beaten a ½L and runs from the same mark now, this could be his chance to break through. The consistent Lucky Louie should throw his hat in the mix again while Steal The Scene and God Willing are also likely to be in there pitching.
