Aunty Ann³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 116| D

3/1

In decent form in recent times and finishing 13L second on good ground over 3m2f here last month. Races off the same mark here and drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience.

Form: 3135-32

Bassarabad^t,v²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 116| D

5/1

Placed over an extended 3m at Towcester (good-to-firm) in May. Well held on his only subsequent outing and interesting to see how he fares on this occasion.

Form: P41P-30

Mr Shantu⁹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: W T Kennedy| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115

14/1

Returning from a break when pulled up over 3m at Market Rasen (good-to-soft) in April. Absent since and probably best watched at present.

Form: U/6694P-

Compadre^t²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115

4/1

Well held second over an extended 2m4f at Kempton in April. Pulled up subsequently and had wind surgery prior to finishing well beaten at Stratford (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Has placed over C&D in the past.

Form: 31P2-P5

Better Days⁶⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 113| D

16/1

Struggled in two starts since winning at Kempton (3m, good) last October. Pulled up on seasonal debut in May and probably best watched at present.

Form: 2/2419-P

Loch Linnhe^p³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 112

15/2

Pulled up on two of his three starts since winning over 2m4f at Hexham (good) in May and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 2P-1P3P

Full Shift^p⁵⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 110| D

7/1

Held in two starts over hurdles so far this term. Blinkers worn for the first time last time out are replaced with cheekpieces here. Has won off much higher marks in the past.

Form: 3/4PP-57

Fear Glic^p⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 11-1| J: Rex Dingle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Du Plessis| OR: 107

5/1

Finished runner-up in a couple of chases last month including on good-to-firm at Stratford on his penultimate outing. Well held at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) recently and a step back up in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 3P-4226

Forecasts

Mrsrobin (6/4), Aunty Ann (3/1), Compadre (4/1), Bassarabad (5/1), Fear Glic (5/1), Full Shift (7/1), Loch Linnhe (15/2), Powerful Symbol (15/2), Rocknrollrambo (12/1), Mr Shantu (14/1), Red Giant (14/1), Better Days (16/1)

MRSROBIN has won over C&D in the past and she can complete her hat-trick by taking the concluding race on the card. The selection has looked an improved mare since joining this yard and it can fall to Aunty Ann who was placed here last time out to take second. Third place can go to Fear Glic who is likely to appreciate this return to 3m.
