Brigham Young¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S W Kelly| T: E Walker| OR: 77

11/4

Remains an eight-race maiden who has gone well in two of his last four starts but overall proving inconsistent. Drop in grade should help and capable if bouncing back to his best.

Form: 2/53-P38

(11)

Zahee²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 76

2/1

Only started racing as a four-year-old and has made steady improvement in three starts over 7f without quite seeing out the distance. Drop in trip a plus and on a good mark on handicap debut.

Form: 373

(3)

Laubali^p⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| CD

20/1

All three wins have come here, twice over this distance and he seems to reserve his best for this surface. Remains a touch high in the handicap but could be competitive.

Form: 14-7538

(6)

Consequences²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: Ian Williams| OR: 75| D

6/1

Went close off this mark at Chelmsford latest and 5lb below last win when with David O'Meara. Has gone well here previously and rates a likely contender.

Form: 045043

(10)

Tathmeen³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 72| C| D

12/1

Last win came over 5f here off this current mark and stays this extra furlong fine. Has proved consistent and looked to need the run when returning from a break last month. Should be involved.

Form: 175645

(7)

Evasive Power^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gary Halpin| T: D Hogan| OR: 74| CD

11/4

Irish raider won a novice over this C&D for his previous stable last year but has proved inconsistent this time around. Dropping in the handicap but needs to leave two poor runs behind.

Form: 466690

Holdenhurst⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: E J Walsh| T: W G M Turner| OR: 62| BF| D

40/1

Twice a winner this year and now 5lb higher than success over 5.5f at Bath two starts back. Below that when a beaten favourite over the same C&D last time and may be in the grip of the handicapper.

Form: 522014

(2)

Caledonian Gold¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

100/1

Longstanding maiden who is about to notch up 60 starts without a success. Her recent form doesn't suggest the losing run is about to end.

Form: 004475

Forecasts

Zahee (2/1), Evasive Power (11/4), Brigham Young (11/4), Consequences (6/1), Raspberry (6/1), Tathmeen (12/1), Madrinho (12/1), Regulator (16/1), Laubali (20/1), Holdenhurst (40/1), Caledonian Gold (100/1)

Consequences is on a handy mark at present and was narrowly beaten last time, so another success doesn't look far away. Raspberry will be suited by the step up in distance and has more to offer while Tathmeen is a reliable type who should build on his first run back from an absence. ZAHEE represents powerful connections, has improved with each run and looks dangerous off this opening handicap mark.
