Fumbo Jumbo⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 72| D

9/4

Two years since her last win but went close to making all at Ayr two starts back at this level. Struggled since in hotter race at York but back to this grade she looks likely to go well again.

Meerpat⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ward| OR: 69

7/1

2lbs lower than her C&D 2L third here two starts back today. Disappointed since when last at Nottingham but that probably a stronger race. Not ruled out but yet to win at handicap level.

Form: 125836

Avon Green⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 69| D

14/1

AW scorer unplaced in three previous turf starts and not run on the surface in 11 months. Would have to be every bit as effective on it to compete off current mark.

Form: 35-2184

(2)

Teepee Time^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 61| CD

11/2

25/1 winner at Leicester in June has showed very little since beating just one rival home in last two starts. Won this race last year at 10/1 but would need more to repeat it.

Form: 616670

Miss Dd^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64

2/1

Placed four times this season including all three races over this trip. Handicapper gradually easing his grip and looks capable of a big run now.

Form: 365345

Cherry Oak⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 63| D

6/1

Newcastle AW winner has run respectably in three starts since including last two on turf. Return to 5f should help and expected to make a bold bid off current mark.

Form: 241454

Roman Times⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Berry| OR: 45

50/1

Two years since her lone win and form this season woeful in all four starts. Hard to fancy even if carrying her true mark but is actually 5lb out of the handicap.

Form: 00-0999

(6)

Angel Eyes^h1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Riches| OR: 45

33/1

Sixth of nine the best she has managed in six races to date. Clearly of very moderate ability and 5lb out of the handicap here. First time hood the only hope.

Form: 090760

Forecasts

Miss Dd (2/1), Fumbo Jumbo (9/4), Teepee Time (11/2), Cherry Oak (6/1), Meerpat (7/1), Avon Green (14/1), Angel Eyes (33/1), Roman Times (50/1)

Consistent filly MISS DD gets the tentative vote in a very ordinary contest. She has placed in all three 5f starts this term and carries a lower mark here so everything points to her going well. Cherry Oak is another three-year-old who seems to have found a level of consistency which should entitle her to going well in a race at this level. Fumbo Jumbo could bounce back now dropped in class but enthusiasm is tempered by her welter burden.
