5/1

Victorious under this rider in a similar race at Newbury (1m2f, good-to-firm) last month. Raised 5lb for that success and of interest once more.

Form: 912251

In good form since winning over this trip at Beverley (good-to-firm) in May having placed on all three subsequent starts. Useful amateur in the saddle here.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Wilson⁽³⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 57| D

8/1

Victorious on the AW over this trip in May and some good efforts in defeat since. Slightly disappointing under this rider last time and yet to win in 11 starts on turf.

Shalamzar^t,v¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-13| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56

33/1

Disappointing in three starts since joining this yard. Handicap mark is falling as a result but probably best watched at present.

Form: 08/9-878

Molten Lava²⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss S A Trotter⁽⁷⁾| T: S Gollings| OR: 55

25/1

Well beaten in seven starts last year including over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in October. Unraced since and others make more appeal on debut for a new yard.

Form: 090690-

Diamond Runner^b³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 51| CD

6/1

Improved on seasonal debut when finishing fifth over 1m1f at Hamilton (good-to-firm) at the end of May. Leading amateur booked to ride and has won over this trip in the past.

Form: 3000-05

Forecasts

Bollin Ted (2/1), Swansway (5/2), Windsorlot (5/1), Diamond Runner (6/1), Orobas (8/1), Voice of A Leader (10/1), Molten Lava (25/1), Shalamzar (33/1)

Trainer Mick Easterby has been in good form of late and can boast a 24% strike-rate (7/29) in recent weeks. His representative here SWANSWAY wasn't beaten far in a handicap last time and can take this opening amateur riders event with the useful Joanna Mason in the saddle. The selection should have no issues with the drop in trip and he can get the better of Bollin Ted who ran well over this trip at Beverley last time. Diamond Runner proved a disappointment on seasonal debut and should put in an improved effort here.
