Millbry Hill Country Store Handicap

Off time: 17:26 | Winning time: 1m 15.54s

Six Strings²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 74| BF| D

4/1

Goes well when fresh and makes his debut for a yard that has a good record with others' cast-offs. Not always consistent, but support for him would be very interesting.

Form: 9057-92

(5)

Naadirr^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73| D

10/1

Showed good signs of a revival at Bath last week and should also get the race run to suit in this field. 2lb drop should also help, and he looks a contender.

Form: 798542

Almurr^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 75| D

33/1

Former Brian Meehan inmate whose form for this yard leaves a fair bit to be desired. Well held in a hood again last week, and from the same mark, others have stronger claims on paper.

Form: 42-5077

(2)

Spirit Of Wedza³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 72| CD

20/1

Dual C&D scorer, but has not yer won from this high in the handicap. Well drawn, and that should suit his style of running. Could finish in the money, but surprise if nothing proves good enough to beat him.

Form: 812574

Woodside Wonder^v²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74

16/1

Scored twice over 7f in the winter, and has been kept to that trip this season. The draw has not been kind here, so with that and a drop in trip to contend with, others make more appeal.

Form: 389623

(4)

Redrosezorro^h²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: E J Alston| OR: 70| CD

11/4

Has a good record here, and arrives on the back of a C&D win last time (good to soft). 5lb rise for that, plus faster ground, suggest that he will do well to follow-up.

Form: 403861

(6)

That's Not Me¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R P Downey| T: A McCann| OR: 71| D

5/1

Front-running filly should be suited by this track, and was not beaten far when trying to make all at Newmarket last time. Draw reasonably kind to her, and she is not ruled out.

Form: 312-423

(9)

Rose Marmara^p,t⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 67| CD

25/1

Has won here three times and came back to better form over C&D last month. Up 2lb, but still a competitive mark. It is more the draw that is the sticking point with her.

Form: 007662

(12)

Amazing Grazing^p1³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 67| D

14/1

Note that his last two wins came in headgear, of which he is fitted with a different type again today. Has the worst of the draw and really wants soft ground, so maybe one to consider more if rain arrives before the off.

Form: 848235

(8)

Lucky Beggar⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 66| CD

15/2

Scored on his reappearance in the spring. Has run some good races since then, including last time at Leicester. Drops 1lb, but unlikely to get the run of the race from this stall.

Form: 333762

(11)

Indian Pursuit^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 63| BF| CD

12/1

Loves it over this C&D (five wins on most types of ground). 1lb higher than his latest win at Thirsk in May. Not written off, but draw has to be offputting.

Form: 042354

Forecasts

Redrosezorro (11/4), Six Strings (4/1), That's Not Me (5/1), Lucky Beggar (15/2), Naadirr (10/1), Indian Pursuit (12/1), Amazing Grazing (14/1), Laubali (14/1), Woodside Wonder (16/1), Spirit Of Wedza (20/1), Rose Marmara (25/1), Almurr (33/1)

Money for stable debutant Six Strings would make him of interest, while Indian Pursuit would probably be a strong contender if able to overcome a poor draw. Similar applies to Rose Marmara, while Redrosezorro has a tough task from a career-high mark. Naadirr and Spirit Of Wedza are others in the hunt for prize money, but the suggestion is THAT'S NOT ME, whose trainer's raids here are always worth a second look.
