5/2

Versatile, having shown plenty of ability over hurdles without winning; 3lb higher than when landing the odds (8/13f) over 1m6f at Nottingham (good) in June; well beaten in a Class 4 contest at Sandown latest.

Form: 013-310

12/1

Placed on both previous visits to Redcar, beaten ½L by Sosian over 1m2f in May; poor since; sole win in 21 career starts was for Alan King at Nottingham (1m+) last summer; stamina?

Donnachies Girl⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Kieran Schofield| T: A C Whillans| OR: 56

13/8

Hasn't won since November 2017 (1m4f, Newmarket); beaten ½L by her 33-1 stablemate Lizzie Loch at Ayr on Monday (1m5f, good); 2lb lower and really ought to throw down the main challenge to Distant Chimes.

Form: 3-53432

Nearly There^t²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Rhona Pindar⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 56| CD

7/2

Off the mark at the 14th attempt when winning a Class 6 handicap over C&D (good) 29 days ago, beating the subsequent Chester winner Angel Gabrial by ½L; plenty more needed from 4b higher in a more competitive race.

Form: 32-9881

(5)

Jan De Heem^p⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 8-7| J: Ella McCain⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 50| CD

9/2

7lb lower than when scoring over C&D in September 2017 (soft); in reasonable form of late, including when beaten less than 1L by Robeam at Catterick (1m6f) 18 days ago; this race looks to be more competitive.

Forecasts

Distant Chimes (1/1), Donnachies Girl (13/8), Oi The Clubb Oi's (5/2), Nearly There (7/2), Jan De Heem (9/2), Zamoyski (13/2), Seaborough (12/1), Sweet Marmalade (14/1)

A couple of these have C&D winning form in the book while Donnachies Girl gave the impression that her turn was near when narrowly beaten by a 33-1 stablemate at Ayr on Monday, but on balance it's incredibly difficult to look beyond the Wolverhampton AW scorer DISTANT CHIMES. Sir Mark Prescott has gradually cranked up his string for the annual profitable period and this four-year-old Campanologist gelding looks capable of running up a sequence of wins. Although there are a couple of slight questions to be answered (turf and an extra two furlongs) he wouldn't be tackling either if his astute trainer didn't think he'd stand up and be counted.
