Classic Pursuit^v⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 64| D

7/1

Spent a fair bit of time in the doldrums but better on last 2 runs and third to a well backed Irish trained winner at Hamilton last week. A repeat of that would put him in the mix.

Form: 600053

Computable^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

8/1

Did win here in 2016 and ran well from a high draw at Catterick last week to register a return to form. This is a weaker contest so merits consideration.

Form: 24-0873

Burmese Blazer^v1⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 61| CD

12/1

Inconsistent but does seem to reserve his best form for this track and with first time visor replacing a hood he looks short list material with beneficial high draw in his favour.

Form: 689036

Economic Crisis¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 59| CD

33/1

Catterick win three runs ago seemed to come from out of the blue but has returned to type since off this higher mark and although he has won four times here, it's been a while since he's shown his best at this venue.

Piazon^b,e/s³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Nathan Evans| T: Julia Brooke| OR: 57| D

16/1

Hasn't won on turf since 2014 but last few runs have been fair enough though they did follow a refusal to race prior to that at Ripon.

Form: 326R42

Compton's Finale^t¹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: A Keatley| OR: 60| D

4/1

Improved to land a similar event at Ayr on Monday and gets a 6lb penalty but this clearly his level and obvious chance if turning out again.

Form: 304071

Amazing Alba^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 59

16/1

This track seemed to bring out the best in her when showing improved form to finish third earlier in the month. Yard in good from and merits consideration.

Form: 3-55363

Boudica Bay¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: E J Alston| OR: 55| CD

2/1

Won a 0-55 on only visit here in May and should welcome a return to this venue with two below par efforts in three goes since. Good draw here and claims.

Jeffrey Harris¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 54| CD

10/1

Has won and finished second in four runs at the track. Not the easiest to catch right but slipping handicap mark a help.

Form: 9-94663

Groundworker⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 53| D

First win since 2017 when scoring at Hamilton but hasn't been able to able to follow that in two runs since off this higher mark.

Picks Pinta^p¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 49

33/1

Ran up to best when just touched off at Hamilton on penultimate start. Claims on that run though others may have more scope.

Forecasts

Boudica Bay (2/1), Compton's Finale (4/1), Classic Pursuit (7/1), Computable (8/1), Jeffrey Harris (10/1), Burmese Blazer (12/1), Skeetah (12/1), Honey Gg (14/1), Amazing Alba (16/1), Piazon (16/1), Groundworker (25/1), Economic Crisis (33/1), Picks Pinta (33/1)

If COMPTON'S FINALE is turned out quickly under his penalty he can follow up his win at Ayr on Monday. Burmese Blazer , with a first time visor should be a player from his favourable high draw while Computable shaped better last week and looks a threat.
