Off time: 15:15 | Winning time: 5m 55.50s

Triangle Rock^p,t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 104

13/8

No win in 11 starts but in the frame twice since moving to this yard last November, and seemed to run a little better for the cheekpieces (retained here) at Sedgefield last time, Conditions fine and has chances.

Form: 845202

Call The Cops^p⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 102| D

7/2

Very useful handicapper once upon a time, but those days well behind him now. Still capable at this level and second at Newcastle latest a step back in the right direction. Trip no issue and well enough handicapped to consider.

Form: 4578-72

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Coltherd⁽⁵⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 97| D

6/1

Knew how to win races a couple of seasons ago but a tale of woe when last seen out, and mark falling quickly already. Stays this trip (has won a point-to-point) and if change of scenery has done him good, isn't discounted.

Form: 0-4340P

Saucysioux⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Jordan Nailor⁽⁷⁾| T: F Brennan| OR: 94| D

50/1

Mark is falling through the floor after a series of moderate efforts and seems to be on the downgrade now. Going nowhere quickly at present and hard to make much of a case for her.

Form: 2P-F9P6

Pinspot^p1,t⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Blair Campbell⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 94

15/2

Did much better for the step into handicaps and upped in trip last time out, stuck to the task well for third and this extra 2f will help. Unexposed and in a race this modest, that counts for plenty. Big chance if progressing.

Sergio^t,v⁵⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: Tim Vaughan| OR: 88

9/2

Was going nowhere fast until bouncing back to form at Warwick last time, third in a competitive little handicap. Back up in trip here, which may help, and if that wasn't a fluke then he'd have chances if repeating it.

Form: 3P-FBP3

Solway Lark⁵⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Callum Bewley| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 84

25/1

No win in 14 starts and in truth, hasn't looked like breaking his duck any time soon either. Beaten out of sight at Ayr latest and although the better ground may help, still looks a very risky proposition.

Form: 0U5900

Millrose Bell^p⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁷⁾| T: V Thompson| OR: 66

33/1

No win in 17 starts and although she has hit the frame a couple of times recently, she's been well beaten. On the plus side, stays all day but still hard to fancy from so far out of the handicap.

Form: 966343

Forecasts

Triangle Rock (13/8), Call The Cops (7/2), Sergio (9/2), Chanceanotherfive (6/1), Pinspot (15/2), Solway Lark (25/1), Millrose Bell (33/1), Saucysioux (50/1)

TRIANGLE ROCK is knocking on the door and might be able to take these from start to finish, with plenty of these preferring to be held up off the pace. He stays well and this ground holds no fears, so there seems no reason why he won't run his race. Pinspot looks ready for three miles and is open to plenty of improvement for it - he looks a big threat. Call The Cops is on the downgrade these days but is too well handicapped to be written off. The rest have plenty to find on form.
