Dapper Man^b¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 86| BF| CD

7/2

In tremendous form with five wins already this turf season, rising 26lb. Not beaten far at Carlisle last time, but latest 8lb rise will make this tough.

Form: 112112

(7)

Longroom¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 82| D

9/1

Scored at Ripon last month, when 5lb lower. Goes well on fast ground. Beaten 3½L from this mark at Ayr last time, but didn't have the best of runs there, so can't rule out a better effort.

Form: 00-6014

Excessable¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

11/4

Has recorded all five wins in Yorkshire, but makes his debut at this track today. Handicapper has had his measure so far this term, but now 9lb lower than his latest win and would be interesting if supported.

Form: 6-00047

Merry Banter²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| CD

3/1

Has Bosham 2L behind her (now 7lb worse off) when scoring over C&D in May. Has remained largely in good form since, but more needed from 6lb higher than that winning mark. Each-way claims.

Bosham^b,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73| CD

6/1

Has a chance of reversing placings with Merry Banter on their May running here, given today's revised terms. Ran well when just collared at Beverley last time. Same mark today and has claims.

Form: 271362

Bahuta Acha^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: B A Curtis| T: D Loughnane| OR: 77| CD

7/1

Scored over C&D (good to soft) in September and added to that at Beverley in May (good to firm), when 4lb lower. Should be competitive from this mark, but exposed and probably each-way claims at best.

Forecasts

Excessable (11/4), Merry Banter (3/1), Dapper Man (7/2), Bosham (6/1), Bahuta Acha (7/1), Longroom (9/1), Canford's Joy (16/1)

BOSHAM arrives in good form. He ought to be capable of turning the tables with Merry Banter on their running here in May, and is taken to go one better than at Beverley last time, with 5lb now claimed. Dapper Man is very much respected, but his has to raise it another notch today, while Longroom is not ruled out and watch for a better run from Canford's Joy.
