Star Of Southwold⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 85

7/1

Drops in trip and carries a penalty after winning at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time. Has won on good, and should go well under top weight.

Form: 122041

(13)

Lamloom⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

8/1

Back to form with an Ayr success last week (7f, good). Up 5lb for that, but should remain competitive.

Form: 79-6641

(6)

Club Wexford⁴^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 81| D

9/2

On a hat-trick after wins at both Wetherby (1m, good to firm) and then in good style at Ayr (1m, good) on Saturday. 4lb penalty here, but is on a roll, looks well treated and could take some stopping.

Form: 39-4511

(5)

Al Erayg³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| D

6/1

Sole win was on debut (1m, good) in France over three years ago. 0-8 for this trainer, but has been doing better of late and drops another 1lb here. Nearest at finish over 7f last time and this stiff should play to his strengths. Interesting.

Form: 9376-55

(2)

Tough Remedy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 83| D

11/1

Acts on a sound surface or slower. Has twice won from higher marks on AW, but recent turf exploits none too encouraging.

Form: 240285

(3)

Brother McGonagall¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| C| D

7/1

Back in much better form last time when a commanding winner at Beverley (1m, good). Has tended to win in sequences previously, so has to be taken seriously here despite a 10lb rise.

Form: 99-0661

(4)

Rousayan^h¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 82| D

14/1

Beverley specialist who has not won since September 2017. There are similarities with this track, and he is back on a handy mark again, so not written off despite his latest effort.

Form: 7080-46

(11)

Tadaawol^p³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 82| CD

12/1

Won the consolation race on this card last year, when 5lb lower and scored again over C&D last time out when 2lb lower. Not the best of draws, but can't rule him out.

Form: 9-53381

(16)

Mikmak^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

8/1

Has his optimum conditions but has not proved easy to win with. Will see out every yard of this, and is well treated at his best, but not easy to rely on him producing that, especially from wide.

Form: 038-845

(12)

Dark Intention^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 81| D

11/1

Best form has been at up to 7½f, and largely at 7f. Arrives in reasonable form after a close second at York and another respectable effort on soft there last time, but others have stronger credentials.

Form: 197-026

(14)

Dream Walker¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 81| C| D

66/1

Best on slower ground than this. On a competitive mark again after a 3lb drop following his stable debut, but wide draw not in his favour.

Form: 177-740

(8)

Saisons D'Or³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 80| BF| D

10/1

Stepped up on his Nottingham (1m½f) win three starts ago when following-up at Wetherby (7f, good) last time. Ran well again last time after a 6lb rise. Up another 1lb but should be thereabouts.

Form: 6-33112

(1)

New Look^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

25/1

Scored over this trip in France. Has dropped 10lb for his three runs for this trainer, and could give him a squeak from this mark based on the second of those. Cheekpieces go on and drawn on the inside, so can't write him off.

Form: 166-069

(10)

My Amigo^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 78

40/1

1lb higher than his last win, which came at Newmarket last August (6f, good). Ran well in Ireland next time, but out of sorts since. Does see out a mile, and couldn't dismiss him lightly.

Form: 069-970

(15)

The Navigator²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 77| D

25/1

Thirsk novice winner over this trip last year (good to soft). Only ¾L behind Tadaawol over C&D last month, and now 2lb better off. Didn't get home over further last time, but not written off despite poor draw.

Form: 1069-26

(17)

Algaffaal^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 77

40/1

AW winner at Newcastle (7f) in April. Never seriously involved back there from 1lb higher last time, and has so far failed to convince over this trip. Also has the worst of the draw.

Form: 240-517

Forecasts

Club Wexford (9/2), Al Erayg (6/1), Star Of Southwold (7/1), Brother McGonagall (7/1), Mikmak (8/1), Lamloom (8/1), Saisons D'Or (10/1), Dark Intention (11/1), Tough Remedy (11/1), Tadaawol (12/1), Mount Ararat (12/1), Rousayan (14/1), New Look (25/1), The Navigator (25/1), Algaffaal (40/1), My Amigo (40/1), Dream Walker (66/1)

A tough race to call as usual, with plenty of potential contenders. Star Of Southwold and Lamloom both have claims, while Al Erayg, New Look and Brother McGonagall all give the Tim Easterby stable chances. Saisons D'Or and Mount Ararat are others with claims, but preference is for CLUB WEXFORD, who is bang in form and could take all the beating.
