Off time: 18:12 | Winning time: 2m 30.84s

(1)

Duke Of Yorkshire^p⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

10/1

2¼L second to likely favourite Itlaaq over 1m5f at Musselburgh latest. Has the advantage of a strong rapport with today's rider so should go well as usual.

Form: 9-17162

(7)

Camakasi¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss K L Adams⁽⁵⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 70| D

5/1

Infrequent winner but back to last winning mark and placed in latest three races including good second over C&D latest. Should again make his presence felt in a competitive handicap.

Form: 344332

(3)

Itlaaq^b,t⁹

Age: 12| Weight: 10-11| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

5/2

Veteran had a resurgence of late since fitted with blinkers and with today's jockey he is two from two. Won again at Musselburgh latest and while slight drop in trip is against him he still rates a leading contender.

Form: 355151

(6)

French Mix²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss H Welch⁽⁵⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 63

16/1

33/1 in recent handicaps at Epsom (sixth of seven) and Beverley (fourth of 10). More needed here but gets 2lb back and seems to get on well with today's rider.

Form: 531464

(2)

Earthly^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 61

6/1

Now 5lb lower than when twice third in June and excuses for latest run where he may not have stayed 1m5f. Can expect better back to today's trip and appeals as a likely sort off this mark.

Form: 503348

(10)

Party Royal^p¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: N J Gifford| OR: 59

25/1

40/1 third when upped to 2m½f at Wolverhampton two starts back but didn't convert form when back to 1m4f at Newbury next. Not fancied until he returns to longer trip.

Form: 575-730

(4)

Broad Appeal¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr J Harding⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 59| BF| D

7/2

Kempton AW winner in April has gone off favourite for all three races on turf this season but was pretty disappointing over C&D latest when a remote fourth. Capable of better.

Form: 60-1534

(5)

Seventii²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: George Eddery⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 56| D

12/1

Finished fifth in each of last three races but handicap sliding and now 1lb lower than a mark which she was only beaten a short-head off over C&D last season. Possibly needs softer ground.

Form: 32-0555

(11)

Eben Dubai^p³⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Arabella Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 49| BF

14/1

Maiden of 14 races but placed on six occasions including first two for this yard. Makes belated return here and 2lb out of the handicap on ground possibly faster than ideal.

Form: 253336-

(9)

Turnbury^p⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 47| D

40/1

Over two years since he last won and little to get excited about in four races this year. 4lb out of the handicap and easy to oppose.

Form: 48-5957

Noble Attitude⁶⁰⁵

Weight: 9-13| Age: 4

T: Mrs L C Jewell J: Mr Alex Comoy

Forecasts

Itlaaq (5/2), Broad Appeal (7/2), Camakasi (5/1), Earthly (6/1), Duke Of Yorkshire (10/1), Seventii (12/1), Eben Dubai (14/1), French Mix (16/1), Party Royal (25/1), Noble Attitude (33/1), Turnbury (40/1)

CAMAKASI ran really well when second over C&D last month and looks sure to make a bold bid once more with similar conditions. Musselburgh winner Itlaaq seems to have found his old spark since fitted with blinkers and piloted by today's jockey so he merits respect. Earthly may be suited by this trip and is now at a handicap mark where he should be dangerous.
