16/1

Well beaten in both starts since finishing a short-head second in a 6f handicap at Ripon (good) in May. Probably best watched on return from a break.

Barbarosa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Herrington| OR: 60

7/2

Ten race maiden finished sixth in a C&D handicap earlier this month. Races off a 4lb lower mark here and interesting to see how he performs.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 57| C

16/1

Beaten just 1½L when fifth in a 6f handicap here on her penultimate start. Struggled over 5f at Bath (firm) next time however and stamina to prove upped in trip.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 56| BF

Good 1L second over this distance at Kempton in April. Absent since finishing fifth over 1m at the same venue later that month.

Form: 90-9525

Grey Berry^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Danny Redmond⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

9/1

Decent effort in finishing fourth in a 1m selling handicap at Thirsk (good) last time out. Worth a check in the market off a 4lb lower mark on AW debut.

Form: 480774

(2)

Muhallab²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 52

7/2

Nine race maiden ran well when beaten ½L in a 7f handicap at Redcar (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting to see if he can repeat that effort.

Deconso⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Toby Eley⁽⁵⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 51| C

13/2

Dual 6f winner at this venue and ran well when third in a 7f handicap at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) recently. Races off the same mark here and is a leading contender in this event.

Form: 854543

Lady Lavinia¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 48| D

7/1

Placed twice at Leicester (7f) in May but failed to figure in four subsequent starts. Signs of a possible return to form when sixth at Thirsk (1m, good) last time out however and market support would be notable.

Form: 329496

Not So Shy⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

125/1

22 race maiden was beaten 14L over this trip at Haydock (good-to-firm) recently. Others hold stronger claims racing from out of the handicap on this occasion.

Form: 800978

Secret Magic⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 45

16/1

Signs in a novice event over C&D last December but has failed to figure in three handicap starts since. Probably best watched racing from out of the weights.

Form: 976-888

Hilbre Lake^v1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Gabriele Malune| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

100/1

Well beaten on all five starts so far including when 30L eighth over nine over an extended 7f at Chester (good) on handicap debut last month. Others make more appeal.

Form: 9-8708

Forecasts

Barbarosa (7/2), Muhallab (7/2), Deconso (13/2), Lady Lavinia (7/1), Grey Berry (9/1), Cauthen (10/1), Smoki Smoka (12/1), Lysander Belle (16/1), Secret Magic (16/1), Seanjohnsilver (16/1), Hilbre Lake (100/1), Not So Shy (125/1)

DECONSO has shown good form at this venue in the past and he can register a third victory here by taking the opening race on the card. The selection is taken to get the better of Cauthen who has a top apprentice booked to ride on his return from a break. Third place can go to Muhallab who was placed over this trip on turf on his most recent start.
