Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| D

6/1

Below par on both starts this campaign including over C&D earlier this month. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he is worth a check in the market off a mark 10lb lower than for his latest success.

Air Of York^p²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 65| CD

6/1

Returning from a break when registering a victory in a 17 runner handicap over C&D on good-to-firm ground last time out. Raised 4lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist with similar conditions forecast.

Form: 200-701

Raincall¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Candy| OR: 65

2/1

Good fourth in a soft ground 6f novice event at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Represents a good yard and is one to note on her first start in handicaps.

5/1

Decent effort in finishing 4L fifth to Air Of York over C&D on seasonal debut last time out. Improvement likely and market support would be notable.

C&D winner has been disappointing in five starts since finishing third over 6f at Kempton in January. Had wind surgery since most recent outing and wears a tongue tie for the first time.

33/1

Good second over the AW at Kempton (6f) last November. Struggled in two subsequent starts however but interesting having won this race off a 2lb higher mark 12 months ago.

7/1

Followed up a 6f victory on good-to-firm going at Brighton at the start of this month with a decent sixth at Chepstow (6f, good-to-firm) 13 days later. Interesting contender on this occasion.

Held in two starts over 6f on good ground at Windsor this season. Promising apprentice jockey booked to ride but others appear to hold more obvious claims.

Forecasts

Raincall (2/1), Cent Flying (5/1), Air Of York (6/1), Harry Beau (6/1), Who Told Jo Jo (7/1), Mooroverthebridge (7/1), Champagne Bob (12/1), Secret Potion (12/1), Gold Hunter (14/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (14/1), Alfie's Angel (20/1), Mabo (25/1), Sovereign State (25/1), Picket Line (33/1)

AIR OF YORK was a winner here last time out and he can follow-up that success with a victory in this competitive looking vent. Cent Flying ran well when finishing behind the selection here last time out and he can take second ahead of Picket Line who can leave previous efforts this season well behind as he chases back-to-back victories in this event.
