3/1
C&D winner last time out and a bold bid not ruled out despite a 4lb higher mark. Does needs to work hard to uphold the form with Red Stripes on these terms; but well drawn and entitled to be thereabouts.

4/1
Picks up a 6lb penalty for winning here last week; stayed on strongly near the finish. Still has room to move from this mark (on past form) so merits respect. Well drawn today too.

7/2
Placed in nine of his last ten starts and top marks for consistency. Handy draw and not much to find to be involved in the shake-up once more. The rider's 7lb claim has been a useful tool so far. Not discounted.

7/1
On a very handy mark but form has been regressive for a while now. Losing sequence mounting up and needs to prove he's not just on the downgrade. (Second start since wind surgery.)

Dropping like a stone in the ratings and plenty to find to reverse latest form with Captain Ryan; cheekpieces need to spark a big revival.

3/1
8lb better off with Captain Ryan after they both ran well from a high draw here last time. One to monitor closely in the betting but previous start (behind Alaskan Bay and Red Stripes) leaves him with a bit to find.

25/1
Out of form just now and already has form to reverse with a few of these; others appear to hold stronger claims. (First of the bottom five on the card who are out of the weights.)

0-10 so far and in danger of dropping off the radar. Did run well from out of the handicap last time but finished well adrift of Alaskan Bay here and hard to see her being capable of altering the placings.

0-56 and has ground to make up with a handful of a those who reoppose today. Wide draw does the mare no favours and likely her winless status will still be intact post race.

Difficult to get enthusiastic about the gelding's claims after a strong of poor efforts. best left to his own devices.

On a long losing run, out of form and faces a very stiff test from out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Alaskan Bay (3/1), Storm Trooper (3/1), Red Stripes (7/2), Captain Ryan (4/1), Zipedeedodah (7/1), Whispering Soul (25/1), Beaming (25/1), Shesthedream (33/1), Celerity (33/1), Barnsdale (50/1), Minty Jones (100/1)

Verdict

Several of these are old rivals but it's very possible that ALASKAN BAY can cope on these terms and uphold recent form with the likes of Red Stripes and Beaming and expand on a recent run of good form. Captain Ryan and Storm Trooper are others to consider.
  1. Alaskan Bay
  2. Red Stripes
  3. Captain Ryan
