Lord Murphy^t²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 56| CD

7/2

Plenty of course form and another creditable effort when third here on Thursday night in similar contest. No reason why he shouldn't run his race again and one of the more likely types.

Form: 622543

Edge^b¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: M Harley| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 55

4/1

My well have won with a clear run at Bath on latest and that represents a return to his best form since a pair of wins in the autumn of 2017.

Form: 724663

Texas Radio^v1⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: J Feane| OR: 54

5/2

Did best of those held up when third here last Friday and the step up to 1m tonight seems sure to be in his favour. Often sported cheek pieces in the past but now wears a visor and should be a leading contender.

Form: 085673

Final Attack^p²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 50| C

12/1

Did win over 7f here in the summer but hasn't built on that and stable has been struggling for winners for a while. Finished tailed off here on Thursday night.

Form: 143800

Boatrace³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 52

10/1

Showed a little ability when trained in Ireland but well beaten at Carlisle last month on first run for this yard and plenty to prove for now.

Form: 05457

Ferrier^v¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 52

10/1

Ultimately disappointing for Sir Mark Prescott. A couple of runs for Ian Williams have yielded a Beverley third and then finished midfield at Bath having gone from the front. May have more to come from shrewd stable and can't dismiss.

Form: 524637

Caledonian Gold⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

66/1

Long standing maiden but does at least show her best form at this track so has place claims at a big price.

Form: 839648

(7)

Amherst Rock^h,t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: J Butler| OR: 45

8/1

Ex-Irish. Has a habit of missing the break but has the ability to go close if breaking better as his fifth at Newcastle wasn't a bad effort under the circumstances. Worth keeping an eye on in this lowly grade.

Form: 597855

Alligator⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

14/1

Small chance on his fourth at this track in March but was then off the course for four months subsequently and struggling for a return to that level at present.

Form: 940869

Portrush Storm⁵⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: R E Peacock| OR: 45| CD

125/1

Winless for six years and very lightly raced these days. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 5/9759-0

(5)

Star Of Assisi¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 45

11/1

Bits and pieces of form to give her a small chance but hopes basically rest on a drop in trip sparking her to improvement.

Form: 034986

Makofitwhatyouwill⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

80/1

Poor maiden and hasn't improved for the switch to current trainer. Yet to make the frame and hard to fancy from 10lb out of the weight.

Form: 770907

Forecasts

Texas Radio (5/2), Lord Murphy (7/2), Edge (4/1), Amherst Rock (8/1), Boatrace (10/1), Ferrier (10/1), Star Of Assisi (11/1), Final Attack (12/1), Alligator (14/1), Caledonian Gold (66/1), Makofitwhatyouwill (80/1), Portrush Storm (125/1)

TEXAS RADIO may have some improvement to come at this trip and gets the vote. EDGE was unlucky on latest and could prove the main danger while FERRIER could still do better for his current yard.
