Dandy Highwayman^p,t1⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 70

5/1

Has run well here before over 6f. Steps up to this trip for first time today. Well below the form of last year's Hamilton win in all starts this season. Plenty to prove.

Form: 005497

Sultan Baybars^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

5/4

Has looked as though today could be the day on several occasions this season, but while competitive, he hasn't managed to add to his debut win from 2016. Trip and ground are fine and he enters calculations now tried in this sphere.

Form: 449647

Kody Ridge¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66

3/1

Handled this track well on his only previous visit. Ran well over the trip in a Redcar claimer two starts ago, when 4L third. Well held in a Beverley seller (7½f), but not ruled out of the frame again.

Form: 004735

No Civil Justice⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson

300/1

Has started at triple-figure prices and finished last in both races. Makes no appeal.

Form: 8-0

One For Brad

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: A Berry

150/1

Third foal. Dam 1m winning half-sister to 1m/1m2f winner Strudel out of maiden half-sister to 1m4f Group 2 winner Bonny Scot. Probably best watched on debut.

200/1

Well beaten in all three starts so far from 6f-1m. Readily opposed.

Forecasts

Sultan Baybars (5/4), Kody Ridge (3/1), Super D J (7/2), Dandy Highwayman (5/1), One For Brad (150/1), Orsay (200/1), No Civil Justice (300/1)

Sultan Baybars is probably the pick at the weights here, but he has flattered to deceive on several occasions already this term and the suggestion is to take him on with KODY RIDGE, who has a bit of experience here and in a claimer, and should be better for this slight drop in trip. Dandy Highwayman and Super D J should be fighting to complete the frame.
