Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 4m 58.1s

Black Key^b³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 119| BF

11/1

Starting to look on a fair mark on the best of his Irish form and it was a better effort from the front a Bangor last time out, not beaten far and a mistake at the last not helping his cause. Needs a repeat of that but if he can, has every chance.

Form: 440-634

Organdi⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽³⁾| T: R T Phillips| OR: 118| D

3/1

Thrashed them hollow at Southwell on latest start and she took her form to a new level with that. Yard going well at present, 7lb rise for that win fine and if she can repeat that, she could take plenty of beating here.

Form: 2841-31

Miss Tynte^b,t⁷^{(ex 7)}

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: T Scudamore| T: D Pipe| OR: 110| D

7/4

Very easy winner at Worcester last week, quickening away in the latter stages for a clear-cut success (in a tongue-tie, retained here) but conditions here likely to be much quicker and she's not the most consistent around. Chance all the same.

Form: 317/69-1

Ishyaboi¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Adam Wedge| T: Christian Williams| OR: 108

28/1

First start for new yard having shown some ability for Pat Fahy in Ireland, but handicapper has given him a fair chunk of weight for his debut on these shores and he might need to come down a few pounds before scoring. Best watched today.

Form: 663U-34

Minella Mojo^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: David Noonan| T: C J Down| OR: 107| D

11/1

Point-to-point winner back in 2017, hard to knock what he's achieved in three starts over hurdles for this yard and went close over C&D back in June. 1lb lower here and repeat of that gives him every chance of the places at least.

Form: 34P343

Aweeminit^t¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton| OR: 106| D

5/1

Could be called the winner some way out at Bangor on latest start and once getting to the front two out, galloped away for a ready win. Handicapper takes action with an 11lb rise, but yard do well here and chance is there to see.

Form: 566541

Cougar Kid⁵⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Brodie Hampson⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 104| D

16/1

Only 5 wins in 54 starts but tries hard enough and is generally consistent. Hit the frame here in June and likely to run his race again, but meets a few upwardly mobile opponents and might find winning beyond him here.

Form: 3674-23

G'day Aussie^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 100

7/1

Better effort when third at Worcester last time out but in truth, never really looked like winning and tends to be one paced whatever the trip. On the plus side, yard in sparkling form, so should run his race, but hard to see him being good enough.

Form: 156-743

Forecasts

Miss Tynte (7/4), Organdi (3/1), Aweeminit (5/1), G'day Aussie (7/1), Minella Mojo (11/1), Black Key (11/1), Ballymountain Boy (14/1), Cougar Kid (16/1), Ishyaboi (28/1)

Plenty can be given some sort of chance. Aweeminit won with plenty in hand at Bangor and looks the one to beat, but the Skelton team aren't having the summer they did last year and too many are beaten at short odds for comfort. Nevertheless, her chance is obvious enough and she has to be respected. Organdi was another to win with plenty in hand last time and looks on an upward curve, but BLACK KEY looks likely to get a soft lead and it was a definite step in the right direction at Bangor last time out. He is on a dangerous mark and can make all.
