Thornaby Nash^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Gemma Tutty⁽⁵⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 59| D

10/1

His last two wins have come from marks of 55 and 56. As a result it would seem prudent to wait for the handicapper to realise it was a poor the race he landed a month ago.

Form: 494-154

Diamond Avalanche¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: G Lee| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 58

7/1

Much improved when landing a Wolverhampton maiden on his 22nd start. No disgrace off his revised mark here last time and the shorter trip is to his advantage.

Form: 68491-3

(14)

Natajack^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 58| D

12/1

Behind Diamond Avalanche here last time and like that rival will be suited by the shorter trip. Now 13lb below his last winning mark and good claimer makes him a tempting each-way proposition.

Form: 5-79036

Haymarket²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 55| CD

13/2

Landed three races last summer and posted some good efforts in defeat of appreciably higher marks than this. No sign of him scaling similar heights in his three efforts this term.

Form: 370-688

Lucky Violet^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 55

9/1

Musselburgh winner over 7f and that appears a distant memory now and although she turned in one of her better efforts here last time but was still beaten a long way. Hood refitted and dropped in class.

Form: 066394

Captain Revelation⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 53| D

14/1

Has not won on turf for three years and best performances nowadays have been reserved for Southwell. Hard to recommend after two months off.

Form: 706573

Colour Contrast^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Gormley⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 52| BF

7/4

Had Natajack and Diamond Avalanche behind him here on penultimate start. Another solid run on Saturday left the impression he could open his account soon if returned to this trip.

Form: 0-02222

Dutch Coed¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 52

40/1

Chances on his one good run at Southwell, but otherwise makes little appeal even given a falling handicap mark.

Form: 44608

(2)

Allux Boy^p1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50

17/2

His two wins have come at odds of 50/1 and 25/1 so it is unwise to write him off with his mark continuing to fall. However, he is still to prove himself at this trip and this is a stiff track. Cheekpieces on this time.

Form: 748-068

(8)

Strategic²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 60

20/1

Bought out of Richard Hannon's yard for 13,000 gns in February. Made a disappointing start for his new handler but this is the lowest grade he has contested and the stable are 2-2 in this race.

Form: 53785-0

(6)

Enemy Of The State³⁰⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 48

33/1

Showed little in Ireland over various trips and regular headgear worn there is left in the tack room this time.

Form: 6/7400-

(7)

Lady Grigio¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: A C Whillans| OR: 52

28/1

Has offered little in three outings so far and now makes handicap debut. This will be the first time she has encountered fast ground on turf and that would be the only reason to be optimistic.

Form: 9-77

(9)

Retirement Beckons²⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Shane Gray| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 47

50/1

Four starts to date showing nothing in maidens before modicum of hope on handicap debut back in October. Returns from a long break and has been gelded but yard's runners usually need an outing or two to hit form.

Form: 5676-

Forecasts

Colour Contrast (7/4), Haymarket (13/2), Diamond Avalanche (7/1), Allux Boy (17/2), Lucky Violet (9/1), Thornaby Nash (10/1), Natajack (12/1), Captain Revelation (14/1), Rioja Day (16/1), Strategic (20/1), Lady Grigio (28/1), Enemy Of The State (33/1), Dutch Coed (40/1), Retirement Beckons (50/1)

Colour Contrast is due one following a string of solid efforts but he had another hard race on Saturday and NATAJACK may offer some decent each-way value. The selection was behind Iain Jardine's charge here but stumbled out of the stalls and failed to see out a longer trip. He is leniently treated at present and Callum Rodriguez adds further encouragement with his 3lb claim. Diamond Avalanche finished between the aforementioned pair here and, like the selection, will be more at home back to a mile.
