Brian The Snail¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| D

7/1

Bounced back to form on a sound surface at Doncaster last time winning in good style off 6lb lower mark. Copes well with soft conditions so may make a bold bid to follow up.

Form: 4-06051

Alaadel^t²²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| D

10/1

Slightly disappointing at Doncaster last time but previously won well on soft ground over this trip at Goodwood. Remains 5lb higher but not out of it if things go his way.

Form: 397918-

Captain Jameson⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 86| D

11/1

Still 4lb higher than last win which came at York in October. Hasn't shone in two starts so far this campaign, including last time when failing to respond to first-time cheekpieces. Yard in from but others make more appeal.

Form: 0176-07

Naadirr⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: K A Ryan| OR: 86| D

40/1

Been a smart sprinter in his time but has been struggling since wind surgery in February and finished last of nine at Doncaster last month when never really travelling. Well handicapped on old form but looks risky proposition.

Form: 400-879

The Armed Man²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 85| D

16/1

Landed his seventh win when scoring on seasonal reappearance at Redcar and not disgraced off 1lb higher than today at Thirsk last time. Handicapper may just about have his measure though and other make a little more appeal.

Form: 6054-17

Beyond Equal¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: W S Kittow| OR: 85| D

10/1

His four wins have come on a sound surface but has run well on soft in the past as well. Didn't appear to be completely at home at Epsom last time having gone well when fourth at Doncaster previous start. Eases 2lb and is not without a chance.

Form: 211-740

Royal Residence⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 84| BF| D

15/8

Yard enjoying a good season and this colt has run creditably on his last two starts. Good second in Bronze Cup at Ayr in September in soft ground so should handle conditions and has every chance.

Form: 120-632

Dalton²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 83| D

9/2

Has proper soft ground pedigree but handles most conditions and was decent third at Thirsk last time off this mark. Yard ticking along nicely so no surprise to see him finish there or thereabouts.

Form: 2564-83

Zapper Cass^v¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: M Appleby| OR: 73| CD

9/1

Is 2-2 over C&D on soft ground and ran well over 7f last time until stamina gave way when second at Chelmsford. Yard won this last year and gets plenty of weight all round so looks a live contender.

Forecasts

Royal Residence (15/8), Dalton (9/2), Moon Trouble (11/2), Brian The Snail (7/1), Zapper Cass (9/1), Alaadel (10/1), Beyond Equal (10/1), Last Page (10/1), Captain Jameson (11/1), The Armed Man (16/1), Erissimus Maximus (16/1), Naadirr (40/1)

In receipt of weight from all his rivals ZAPPER CASS should go very well and has a good chance of making it 3-3 over course and distance after two solid runs of late. In a typically open sprint handicap most of these can be given a chance, including the back-to-form Brian The Snail along with other last time out winners Last Page and Moon Trouble. Royal Residence is going the right way, and Dalton is another who should make his presence felt in a decent contest.
