Wrenthorpe^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 77| D

6/1

Bit disappointing at Doncaster last time but better judged on efforts of last year, including a good win over 5f at Nottingham (soft ground) in November. Fairly enough handicapped if he can bounce back, and not discounted.

Form: 561-320

Followthesteps^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado| OR: 76| D

8/1

Twice a beaten favourite this spring although ran well enough in defeat, below par at Ascot last time and now does need to bounce back. Suspicion is there's better to come but until he shows it, is perhaps best monitored.

Form: 1/25425

Johnny Cavagin²³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| D

13/2

Glory days behind him at the age of 10, but still capable as he showed at Pontefract back in April. All ground s come alike to him and if he gets a good pace to aim at, expect to see him come with his customary late charge.

Form: 6-59124

Amazing Grazing¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 72| CD

11/1

C&D winner here last year and although he's only won three starts, maybe a bit unlucky not to have a couple more on the board. Ran on late at Pontefract last time, hinting his turn may not be far away, and not discounted here.

Form: 524376

Samovar^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mathers| T: S Dixon| OR: 71| D

14/1

Probably happiest on the Fibresand at Southwell these days but capable of showing his form on the turf too, and he does come here on the back of two solid efforts. Can be slowly away though, so needs to avoid that here.

Form: 247163

Van Gerwen^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: J L Eyre| OR: 71| D

8/1

Beaten less than a length at his beloved Pontefract last time after having had every chance late on, the first time cheekpieces seemingly responsible for that better effort. De Sousa an eyecatching booking, handles soft, and every chance again here.

Form: 040643

Music Society^h⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

11/2

Ran on to finish fourth over C&D last time out, and he seems to be finding his form after a couple of pipe openers now. Handles some cut underfoot and given his low-looking mark at present, he looks a big danger to all.

Form: 600-034

(12)

Gift In Time^b,t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Evans| T: Paul Collins| OR: 62| BF| D

40/1

Fallen a long way in the handicap in a relatively short space of time, made favourite for a selling handicap at Thirsk last time but could only muster a one-paced fourth. Others make more appeal.

Form: 430-884

(3)

Everkyllachy⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Continued his run of good form with another success over C&D last time out, that being his third win in four starts. Very genuine and tries hard, and given he's on the same mark as last success today, must have every chance of scoring again.

Form: 24-1141

(8)

The Golden Cue²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 61| D

25/1

Popped up in a weak handicap at Southwell earlier in the year and now on the same mark, but is basically happier in a lower grade than today and recent efforts aren't that encouraging.

Form: 6-13776

(9)

Boundsy^p⁸

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

6/1

Back to form when a head second to Everykyllachy over C&D last time out, a run that makes him very dangerous today as he's 26lb below his last winning mark. If the headgear works again, he'll have a major chance.

Form: 79-7752

(4)

Economic Crisis²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 8-5| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 57| CD

25/1

Not beaten far at Thirsk last time but overall record of 12-122 shows you he's an infrequent visitor to the winners enclosure, and has plenty on his plate here.

Form: 66-8794

(6)

Camanche Grey³⁷

50/1

Threw in a much improved effort (at 200-1) at Newcastle last time, not beaten far from miles out of the handicap, and does like this track (form figs 13226). Handles soft and would be interesting at a big price.

Form: 9-80094

Forecasts

Everkyllachy (4/1), Music Society (11/2), Wrenthorpe (6/1), Boundsy (6/1), Johnny Cavagin (13/2), Followthesteps (8/1), Van Gerwen (8/1), Amazing Grazing (11/1), Samovar (14/1), Bronze Beau (14/1), Economic Crisis (25/1), The Golden Cue (25/1), Gift In Time (40/1), Camanche Grey (50/1)

Another wide open sprint to finish the card off with. Everykyllachy doesn't know how to run a bad one and looks sure to run her race once again. Music Society and Van Gerwen both look ready to win again soon but BOUNDSY is simply too well handicapped to ignore now, and he can reverse form with Everykyllachy today. Those that like to tilt at windmills could do worse than Camanche Grey, who would hold a decent chance at a track he's gone well at before if his latest efforts is taken at face value, even from out of the handicap.
