Nubough^h⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 84| BF| D

7/1

Long odds-on when opening his account under this rider at Chelmsford over a similar trip. Has improved with every race and recently changed stable. Absence a slight concern but should go well.

Form: D3-1333

Tenax¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 84| BF| D

3/1

Great performance to win at Haydock early last month (good-to-firm) over this trip. Excuses next time at same track but below par last time out at York. This looks easier and one for the shortlist.

Form: 533153

Look Out Louis²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84| D

10/1

Opened his three-year-old account with a Thirsk win and swiftly followed up at Haydock off a 6lb higher mark (both wins at 6f). Ran well in pursuit of the hat-trick at Ripon before his good run of form came to a halt on both his latest two starts.

Form: 311360

Beryl The Petal^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Shelley Birkett| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| BF| D

11/1

Unable to land a hat-trick last time out at Pontefract but still put in a pleasing and arguably improved performance. Probably still faces tough ask at these weights but open to improvement.

Form: 322114

Gale Force Maya²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 74| CD

7/4

Bounced back to winning ways over course and distance after a disaster on the AW at Newcastle the time before. Probably prefers a fast surface so will not want much rain but definite chance on the best of her form.

Form: 5-13391

Kolossus¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 70| BF| D

9/2

Has been showing much more promise on his latest two appearances at Ayr and Redcar. Certainly capable of winning off around this mark and looks a leading contender.

Form: 60-6923

(1)

Raha¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 64

16/1

Is slowly getting the hang of things and has improved on all her last three appearances. Need to show even more to get competitive; stable form is a slight concern but not without a chance.

Form: 06853

Forecasts

Gale Force Maya (7/4), Tenax (3/1), Kolossus (9/2), Nubough (7/1), Look Out Louis (10/1), Beryl The Petal (11/1), Raha (16/1)

A cracking contest with all the entrants having a fair chance on the best of their form. The slight preference in a tight contest goes to GALE FORCE MAYA who won well over course and distance last time out and is probably open to further improvement. Kolossus has been running well in defeat on his latest starts and now the penny has dropped again he could be soon back to winning ways. Although coming back from a short absence, Nubough has every chance if picking up where he left off at for new connections while if Tenax is able to bounce back to the type of form he showed at Haydock three starts ago he would rate a danger to all of these.
