Tellovoi^v⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: R C Guest| OR: 55| D

7/1

Fine servant to connections and recent win at Musselburgh confirmed the fire still burns. Best efforts this year over 7f so drop in trip may not be ideal

Form: 100145

(7)

North Road Revue⁴⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

33/1

Limited signs of ability in three runs in novice company. Not obviously well treated on handicap debut, but market will be the best guide.

Form: 788-

Dawn Breaking¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 55| D

6/1

Two wins in 12 starts, but latest efforts have been ordinary. Inching down the weights, however, so a return to form cannot be ruled out.

Form: 895697

Astraea⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 54

13/2

No wins in nine races and latest run on first start after wind surgery was disappointing. Drops in trip off 3lb lower mark, but has questions to answer.

Form: 08-8600

(6)

Essential¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 53

10/1

Successful on the Southwell FIbresand in January, but has not been able to add to that victory on the AW and turf. Others have stronger profiles.

Form: 470660

(3)

It's A Wish¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 53

11/2

Best effort so far when a close second in a Redcar novice event 11 days ago. Needs to build on that back in handicap company, but may do so with stable in decent form.

Form: 37-5802

(5)

Compton River³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 51| C

16/1

Fair displays on last two starts over 5f, including at this venue. Down 3lb since the latest of them, but step up to 6f is not sure to suit.

Form: 230944

(9)

Spirit Of Zebedee^v¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 50| CD

11/2

Good placed efforts before finishing down the field at Chelmsford last time. Not out of it back on turf on a feasible mark.

Form: 305238

(12)

Coiste Bodhar^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 50| D

9/1

Back to form when a good third of 14 over 5f on soft ground at Nottingham. Return to 6f not an issue and any cut would not go amiss.

Form: 259003

(2)

Evanescent¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: P Aspell| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 48| C| D

25/1

Out of the frame in six runs since joining current stable from Tony Carroll's yard. Handicap mark continues to fall, but a return to form is needed.

Form: 669068

(4)

Cupid's Arrow^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47| CD

5/1

Fair run over 7f at this venue on first start since wind surgery, but took a backward step at Wolverhampton on latest outing. Hard to know what to expect.

Form: 458959

(8)

Jazz Legend¹⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Keniry| T: Miss M E Rowland| OR: 46| D

25/1

Returning from quite a lengthy absence when a promising third of nine at Wetherby in April, but next display at Beverley the following month was below that level. Not seen since and is probably best watched.

Form: 6070-30

Forecasts

Cupid's Arrow (5/1), Spirit Of Zebedee (11/2), It's A Wish (11/2), Dawn Breaking (6/1), Astraea (13/2), Tellovoi (7/1), Coiste Bodhar (9/1), Essential (10/1), Compton River (16/1), Jazz Legend (25/1), Evanescent (25/1), North Road Revue (33/1)

Not many of these leap off the page, but IT'S A WISH produced a personal best last time and may be able to strike for a yard going well. Spirit Of Zebedee should appreciate the return to turf and may chase her home, while others to note in an open contest are Coiste Bodhar and Compton River. North Road Revue makes her handicap debut and is worth a check in the betting.
