Reassurance^b1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

7/1

Remains a maiden after 11 starts. Has been disappointing this year so far, including on her latest appearance at Beverley (1m4f) where she had just one horse behind her in a five runner field. Blinkers are on for the first time. Others appeal more.

Form: 43-5984

Masters Apprentice^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 56| D

33/1

His sole success came on the AW at Chelmsford (1m6f) last year. Made his first appearance for his new yard at Catterick last time where he finished eighth of nine over 1m4f. Back up in trip. Others are preferred though.

Jan De Heem^v⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 52| CD

6/1

Experienced gelding who has won over this C&D. He added to his tally over this distance at Catterick last time in a 14 runner field. Has to carry a 4lb penalty here as he looks to complete a quickfire double. One to consider.

The Fiddler³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Hanagan| T: C F Wall| OR: 55| CD

7/4

Broke his maiden over this C&D last time in what was the 15th race of his career. Has gone up 5lb in the weights for his success but this distance seems to suit him so he could be set to follow up again.

Form: 8-73821

Seaborough^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 55

11/1

Dual-purpose gelding who was third of nine over hurdles at Cartmel (2m1f). Was successful earlier in his career over 1m½f at Nottingham. Needs to improve on his recent form on the Flat to be in contention.

Form: 800565

Bogardus³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 52

22/1

His last win came at Carlisle (1m3f) in August 2018. Has been disappointing so far this season, including on his latest appearance where he was sixth of seven at Musselburgh (1m4½f). Has been eased 3lb in the weights. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 4-90706

Lincoln Tale²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

5/2

Broke her maiden at Beverley (1m4f) back in May but has been unable to add to that success since. She was third of eight on her latest attempt at Leicester (1m4f). Stepping up in trip here off a 2lb lower mark. Leading player.

Form: 937543

Miss Ranger^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 50

28/1

On a losing stretch which goes back to June 2017. Did go close at Chester (2m) earlier this season where she finished second of seven but otherwise her form has been disappointing, including latest at Southwell (1m4f) on the AW. Needs to improve.

Form: 020056

Midnight Warrior^t²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: R E Barr| OR: 45| CD

50/1

A C&D winner here but that was back in July 2017. Has not looked like scoring this year in his six starts. He was fifth of eight on his latest attempt at Catterick (1m6f) after going off at 40/1. Has to produce more to be in the mix.

Form: 007785

Archie's Sister^t¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

66/1

Lightly-raced filly who is still a maiden after four starts. She had just one horse behind her last time at Newcastle (2m½f) on the AW. Drops down in trip is 4lb better off. Others appeal more in the race.

Forecasts

The Fiddler (7/4), Lincoln Tale (5/2), Jan De Heem (6/1), Reassurance (7/1), Nearly There (8/1), Seaborough (11/1), Excalibur (20/1), Bogardus (22/1), Miss Ranger (28/1), Masters Apprentice (33/1), Midnight Warrior (50/1), Archie's Sister (66/1)

THE FIDDLER won over this C&D last time in what was his opening success. He was staying on strongly inside the closing stages in that win so he looks capable of defying his 5lb rise in the weights for another victory at this track. Jan De Heem was successful once again over this distance at Catterick last time and he likely to be the biggest danger here with just a 4lb penalty, while Lincoln Tale should be expected to finish in the frame on her return to this trip off her 2lb lower mark.
