Thomas Cranmer¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 82

14/1

Scored on his second start for this yard. His best form for Mark Johnston leaves room for more to come even given a rise in the weights.

Form: 6680-41

(9)

Waarif¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79

9/2

Unlucky to be drawn wide last time having got caught in a pocket on previous start. Has been attracting plenty of support and may fulfil expectations soon if not here.

Form: 4-23524

Tadaawol^p¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 79

33/1

Didn't back up Carlisle win when upped in class last start and best watched in a tougher grade once again. Also entered 3:30 York Friday.

Form: 030170

Duck Egg Blue¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Paula Muir⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 79

5/1

Has winning form on soft ground but surpassed anything she had done previously when romping home on stable debut. Up in class but has form in this grade and yard in form.

Form: 32330-1

Intense Style⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 78

25/1

Best efforts have come on soft gorund and ran well for in-form yard when third at Doncaster in April over a mile. Has won for this apprentice but chance would be enhanced by any rain.

Form: 104-973

(13)

Destroyer²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: T P Tate| OR: 78

16/1

Game individual from a very good small yard. On a fair mark at present and positives to be taken from his comeback run. Chances will deteriorate if he going should turn soft.

Form: 41498-3

Dark Intention²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 78| C

4/1

C&D winner from an in form yard. Shaped well here last time when looking ready for this step up in trip and handles any going.

Form: 1954-53

(10)

Ghayyar⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78

7/1

Scored over a stiff mile last time and his previous form suggests this trip will be no problem. Up in the weights but has form off higher. There is more to come now that new yard have discovered how to ride him.

Form: 467-801

(5)

Inner Circle^p1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 77

12/1

A 1-17 record belies some good efforts in defeat and he has twice gone close off this mark. New trip an unknown but he was staying on well at Wetherby. Cheekpieces tried this time.

Form: 20-2934

(17)

Trinity Star^b²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 73

16/1

Took advantage of a good mark to score at Pontefract. Well suited to that track so questions to answer here off a tougher mark and up in class.

Form: 3642-01

(8)

God Willing^t,v¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 73| BF

10/1

Strong traveller who was just denied on penultimate start and who gave another good account last week. This promises to be tougher as he steps up in class off a higher mark. Winless since 2016.

Form: 3-06023

(2)

Shouranour^b²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 73

25/1

Often improves for his first few runs of the year so could step up on his recent efforts here. However, while he has some form on a range of going, he's generally best on softer ground..

Form: 008-080

(15)

Zeshov^p¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 71

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

7/1

Form of his Redcar victory may mount to little but he surpassed it at Newmarket next time. Lightly raced and makes some appeal of this mark.

Form: 412-706

(12)

Captain Bob^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-4| J: J Quinn| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63

25/1

His last three wins have come at 6f and he has plenty to prove over this trip and off this weight.

Forecasts

Dark Intention (4/1), Waarif (9/2), Duck Egg Blue (5/1), Give It Some Teddy (7/1), Ghayyar (7/1), God Willing (10/1), Inner Circle (12/1), Thomas Cranmer (14/1), Cadeau Magnifique (14/1), Destroyer (16/1), Trinity Star (16/1), Intense Style (25/1), Captain Bob (25/1), Shouranour (25/1), Radjash (25/1), Tadaawol (33/1), Zeshov (33/1)

WAARIF is due a change of luck and a slight drop in the weights makes him attractively weighted against recent winners Thomas Cranmer, Dark Intention, Duck Egg Blue and Trinity Star. Tim Easterby's pair Ghayyar and Give It Some Teddy figure on handy marks, whilst Tom Tate's Destroyer will give his usual honest account.
