5/2

Winner of two of his four starts on the AW including at Kempton (1m3f) in April. Could finish only fifth back on turf last time out and interesting to see how he fares here.

New Street^v³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Best| OR: 60

11/1

Promising fourth on his return to turf at Lingfield (good) a month ago. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and has won off a much higher mark in the past.

Form: 80/8304

Torch^p²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: J Butler| OR: 59

20/1

Placed on the AW earlier this year but well held on soft ground at Nottingham (1m2f) on his return from a break and others make more appeal.

Form: 90-0538

General Brook^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 58| D

7/1

Successful three times already this year including on turf the last twice. Raised 5lb for his most recent victory over an extended 1m3f at Bath (firm) earlier this month and he is one for the shortlist.

Form: 0-10211

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57| BF

13/2

21 race maiden finished a good second over 1m4f at Wolverhampton a month ago. However likely to find at least one too good once more

Form: 33346-2

The Yank^p,t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 55

66/1

Placed over fences last year but well held at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on his return to the Flat last time out and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 6437/0-8

(7)

Affair²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁷⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 53| D

6/1

Improved on his return from a break when finishing runner-up over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield (good-to-soft) last time out. Races off the same mark and has won on the forecast good-to-firm ground in the past.

Form: 410-652

Careyanne²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 53

9/1

Followed up a Brighton (1m2f, good-to-firm) victory last month by finishing runner-up at Yarmouth in similar conditions last time. Raised 2lb for that latest effort and is one to note stepping up in trip.

Form: 9-90412

Dolphin Village^h¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 52| CD

Howardian Hills^p,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: K Shoemark| T: V R A Dartnall| OR: 49| BF| D

8/1

Returning from a break when finishing second at Salisbury (1m4f, good-to-firm) last month. Subsequently finished a decent fourth at Bath (firm) and is of interest once more.

Form: 758-624

(11)

Uptown Girl³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 48

66/1

Struggled in three maiden races and it was a similar story on last months handicap debut. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 9-078

Mistress Viz^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 46

20/1

Improved on recent efforts when finishing runner-up over an extended 1m3f at Bath (firm) recently. Interesting to see how she fares racing off the same mark.

Form: 908762

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

80/1

20 race maiden and well held in three outings since returning this season. Likely to struggle racing from 1lb out of the handicap.

Form: 409-899

Ronni Layne^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: L Allan| OR: 45

50/1

21 race maiden and well beaten in all five starts this year. Stepping up in trip but probably best watched racing from 1lb out of the handicap.

Form: 2-77746

Forecasts

Broad Appeal (5/2), Affair (6/1), Singular Quest (13/2), General Brook (7/1), Howardian Hills (8/1), Careyanne (9/1), New Street (11/1), Brigadoon (16/1), Mistress Viz (20/1), Torch (20/1), Dolphin Village (20/1), Ronni Layne (50/1), The Yank (66/1), Uptown Girl (66/1), Ripper Street (80/1)

CAREYANNE shapes as if this step up in distance will suit and she can register her second win of the season here. The selection has been in good form of late and can get the better of General Brook, the winner of his last two outings including over this trip last time. Howardian Hills has run well the last twice and can claim third.
