Harrogate³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: J D Bethell| OR: 82| BF| D

3/1

Impressive winner of a 16 runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Slightly disappointing when only third off this 11lb higher mark subsequently but he remains one to consider with a leading jockey booked to ride.

Form: 30-5613

Shaheen^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 81| BF| D

Winner over this trip at Pontefract (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Good second at Ayr (6f, good) subsequently and is one for the shortlist once more.

Form: 14-3912

(6)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 79

6/1

Close fourth in a six runner contest at Nottingham (5f, good-to-firm) on her penultimate outing. Unseated rider early on at Redcar recently and all four previous victories have come over the minimum distance.

Form: 11164U

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67| BF

6/1

Finished a close second at Hamilton (6f, good-to-firm) last month. Fair efforts twice since but likely more needed if he's to take this contest.

Forecasts

Shaheen (2/1), Harrogate (3/1), Consequences (4/1), Seen The Lyte (6/1), Danehill Desert (6/1), Makanah (6/1), Dotted Swiss (17/2), Canford's Joy (20/1)

SHAHEEN has been running well in recent starts and he can register his second victory of the season following a good run at Ayr last time out. The ground and trip are both in the selections favour and he can see off his rivals here with Harrogate, a disappointment last time taken to return to form by finishing runner-up. This looks a less competitive contest than the one Consequences contested last time and he looks capable of finishing third.
