Revived^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 75| BF| D

13/2

Improved to win off a reduced mark with something to spare at Yarmouth. Couldn't back that up over the same C&D last week but riders claim offsets her rise in the weights and solid claims once more.

Form: 444513

Canford's Joy⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Quinn| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 75

25/1

Scored over 6f (good to soft) at Catterick in September in a novices' event. Held in all four handicap starts since then, but slipping to a more feasible mark now and a better effort would not surprise.

Makanah¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 75

7/1

Broke the maiden tag in good style at Redcar (6F, good to firm) two starts back. Struggled on handicap debut at Haydock last time after missing the break. Dropped 2lb and likely to be capable of better with a clean start.

Form: 255-417

Abamanova⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

12/1

Form in Ireland has dipped of late but makes his debut for this yard off a very tempting mark off a short break. Any market support for her would be significant. Interesting.

Form: 09-6096

Rickyroadboy⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T P Queally| T: M Walford| OR: 72

6/1

Having a good spell this year having won three times already. Not beaten all that far on his last two starts and you can make a case he is up to winning again.

Form: 312145

On A Roll³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| OR: 71

4/1

Front-runner who was only beaten by a thriving rival two starts back at Windsor. Slightly disappointing that she didn't fair better last time at Newbury but still early days and one for the shortlist.

Form: 6-3424

Maygold⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 71| D

7/2

Good winner at Goodwood two starts back off a 4lb lower mark. Not much went her way next time at Salisbury when not getting the best of runs. Should be a player once again in here.

Form: 421-413

Undercover Brother⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: J Balding| OR: 69| D

16/1

Disappointing that he folded so tamely last time at Redcar having won so well the time before. That clearly wasn't his running and should be able to get in the shake-up if bouncing back to his best.

Q Twenty Boy²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: M D I Usher| OR: 62

7/1

Not had many chances and this is only his third handicap start. Gone close on both his last two efforts and should be more improvement to come. Sound each-way claims.

Form: 45632

Palmer⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 62

16/1

Out of form for the majority of this season and his mark has slipped to a dangerous one as a result. Ground probably went against him at York last time and it wouldn't be the biggest shock for a return to form here. Market move would be interesting.

Optimickstickhill^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 53| D

25/1

Won at Thirsk over 5f (good to firm) two starts back but couldn't follow that up next time over 6f. Better race here and races from out the weights so tough ask.

Forecasts

Maygold (7/2), On A Roll (4/1), Rickyroadboy (6/1), Revived (13/2), Makanah (7/1), Q Twenty Boy (7/1), Abamanova (12/1), Palmer (16/1), Undercover Brother (16/1), Optimickstickhill (25/1), Canford's Joy (25/1), Mable Lee (25/1)

Rickroadboy has been on a upward curve and hasn't been beaten all that far the last twice. He has claims of going well again. On A Roll still has plenty of room for improvement and may be dangerous if gifted a soft lead. Maygold didn't get the best of runs last time and will be dangerous once more. A chance is taken on ABAMANOVA who has lost her way of late. Having dropped to a dangerous mark, she now starts life for a yard that do very well with recruits from elsewhere and she is a lively player.
