Mon Beau Visage^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| C| D

20/1

Tends to go well here and is on a good mark. Disappointing the way he folded here over a mile last time and now gets a drop back in trip to 7f. More than capable on a going day. Likes to be prominent.

Tadaawol^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

12/1

Has won at Carlisle a couple of times this year but form elsewhere has not been as good. Only 1lb higher than for latest win though so a return to form is possible.

Deansgate²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| D

10/1

Improved steadily with age and ran career best when a close-up third over C&D last time having missed the break. Quite possible there is more to come for yard that won this race last year.

Form: 42-1603

Zylan^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| D

20/1

Still 4lbs higher than for his last win at Beverley earlier in the year. Best from tends to come on rattling quick ground so maybe vulnerable in here and others preferred.

Twin Appeal³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 77| D

25/1

Badly out of form of late and has now dropped 6lb below his last winning mark. Would need a leap of faith to be backing today but has moved to a new yard so could be dangerous if that has perked him up.

Form: 602500

Golden Slam¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 77| D

6/1

Only lightly raced and has taken his time to come to hand. Won with some authority at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last time and is now 7lb higher. Every chance there is more to come and is very much respected.

Form: 61/5641

Start Time¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: P T Midgley| OR: 76| CD

15/2

Winning for the second time over C&D when making all here two weeks ago. Up 6lb which makes life tougher but clearly loves this venue and should be in the thick of things once more.

Form: 8-34041

Our Charlie Brown²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

9/2

Slowly made his way back to his last winning mark and ground was plenty quick enough for him when an excellent second at Catterick on Wednesday. Any rain is a plus and is sure to go well.

Gabrial The Tiger³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

11/1

Bounced back to form when winning comfortably at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) last time. Nudged up 5lb in a better race but more than capable at this level and should go well again.

Form: 3-08871

Full Intention²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: A C Whillans| OR: 72| BF

9/1

Only win came over 5f on the AW and yet to absolutely convince that this trip suits. Run well the last twice over 6f and on a good mark so not easy to discount despite trip being a worry.

Form: 074522

Zebulon¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 66| BF

18/1

Sent off favourite over C&D last time when comfortably beaten by Start Time. Faded tamely there and this trip remains a worry. Others preferred once again.

Round The Island¹²^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 60

9/1

Bounced back to form with a convincing win over 6f at Pontefract (good to firm) last time. This trip should be no worry having looked strong in the finish there but all wins over 6f.

Form: 146391

Donnelly's Rainbow³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 63| D

8/1

Only one win in 17 starts so far but has run some nice races in defeat. Only beaten narrowly at Ayr last time but needs to be able to back that up now with conditions to suit,

Lord Cooper⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 63WS

66/1

Beaten a long way on debut for this yard at Beverley two months ago. Off since and has had a wind operation in that time. Yard do well with this type and is on a dangerous mark. Interesting.

Forecasts

Our Charlie Brown (9/2), Golden Slam (6/1), Start Time (15/2), Donnelly's Rainbow (8/1), Round The Island (9/1), Full Intention (9/1), Deansgate (10/1), Gabrial The Tiger (11/1), Tadaawol (12/1), Toofi (14/1), Diamond Set (16/1), Zebulon (18/1), Mon Beau Visage (20/1), Zylan (20/1), Twin Appeal (25/1), Lord Cooper (66/1)

Lord Cooper remains of interest for his new yard having had a wind operation. He is lurking on a dangerous mark for a yard that do well with recruits from elsewhere. Start Time won well here last time and will surely attempt to make all again under a penalty. GOLDEN SLAM has taken his time to come to hand for Roger Varian but won with some authority at Yarmouth last time. He can follow-up and continue on an upward curve.
