Bronze Beau^p,t¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 64| CD

12/1

Has won six times at this venue and nearly made it seven when just touched off 12 days ago. Up 2lb and likely to make another bold bid.

Form: 03/84-72

(2)

Seamster^t²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 9-11| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 63| D

10/1

Veteran who has not been at his best in two runs this season. Needs to find extra, but 2lb lower mark should be a help in that respect.

Form: 3801-54

(5)

Everkyllachy^v²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Sebastian Woods⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 62| D

9/2

Back-to-back wins on the AW before finishing fourth of nine on latest start. High enough handicap mark on this return to turf.

Form: 424-114

(4)

Boundsy^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60| C| D

6/1

Has hardly been knocking on the door in three starts this season, the latest of them at Nottingham. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Form: 679-775

(7)

Astrophysics¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 59| D

20/1

Seasonal reappearance when well held at Ripon 10 days ago. Competes off the same mark so major improvement is required.

Form: 921-737

(8)

Rockley Point^b³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 56| C| D

6/1

Newcastle winner in February, but nowhere near that level of form in three subsequent AW starts. Plenty to prove returned to turf.

Form: 71-1005

(10)

Havana Go^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 55

12/1

Still a maiden after 11 attempts and three runs this season have not suggested that record is about to change for the better. Needs more help from the handicapper.

Form: 009-809

(3)

The Bull^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 53| D

17/2

Two solid efforts on the AW this season and returns to turf on 1lb lower mark. Each-way claims if the switch is taken in his stride.

Form: 4541-66

(9)

Leeshaan²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 50

8/1

Returning from over two months off when third of 11 over C&D earlier this month. Down 1lb and holds decent claims with that outing under his belt.

Form: 70-5803

(12)

Star Cracker^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 49| D

10/1

AW winner over 5f at Newcastle last month, but returned to turf and 6f at Ayr last week and could finish only sixth of 16. Not out of it back in distance.

Form: 523916

(6)

Argon^p¹⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽⁵⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 45

80/1

Only limited signs of ability in nine AW outings. Back from a break and makes turf debut so is probably best watched.

Form: 64970-7

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Foxtrot Knight¹⁵

Weight: 9-10| Age: 7

T: Mrs R Carr J: C J McGovern

Forecasts

Everkyllachy (9/2), Foxtrot Knight (11/2), Boundsy (6/1), Rockley Point (6/1), Leeshaan (8/1), The Bull (17/2), Seamster (10/1), Star Cracker (10/1), Bronze Beau (12/1), Havana Go (12/1), Astrophysics (20/1), Argon (80/1)

A competitive finale which can go to LEESHAAN, who was a good third over C&D last time and can build on that display off 1lb lower. Course specialist Bronze Beau may give him most to do while The Bull and Star Cracker can fight it out for third.
