Buyer Bewarev10
Age: 8|  Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty(5)| T: L Bailey| OR:  62| D
22/1
Not the most reliable, yet managed to finish strongly from the rear at Musselburgh (2m, good) on his most recent start to get within a fast-diminishing ½L of the Micky Hammond-trained Stormin Norman; figures on the shortlist.

4/1
Fair fifth to the progressive Le Musee (second and third also winners since) over C&D on his penultimate start; beaten favourite next time (Beverley); the handicapper is taking a slight chance by easing this nine-race maiden.

33/1
Easy winner in the mud over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m7½f, soft) in October 2019, but has failed to scale those dizzy heights since; poor offering as jumps racing resumed at Southwell earlier this month.

4/1
Front-runner; broke her duck (now 1-15) with a gallant display at Thirsk (1m6f, good) 19-days ago; her dam was closely related to the Melbourne Cup winner Rekindling, but she still has to prove herself as an out-and-out 2-miler.

12/1
Flat maiden (0-17); returns to action from an ever-easing handicap mark following wind surgery; this is a poor race, and the market can offer an indicative guide to his overall chances.

9/4
C&D form figures in 2020 read 21 - edged out the reopposing Urban Spirit by ½L in early March; 2lb higher (3lb worse off) tonight; has the excellent Hollie Doyle in the saddle.

16/1
Was an emotional winner for the Bethell family when scoring here over 1m4½f in June 2019; progressive in this grade thereafter, including over 2m; is set to make his first start for 320-days; others preferred.

Represents the in-form Julie Camacho; 3lb better off with Nearly There for a ½L C&D defeat in early March; raced keenly when a beaten favourite (and consequently appears to be held by Buyer Beware) latest.

Won twice for Julia Fielden (Lingfield) during the course of 2017, but nothing of significance since would suggest that her turn is anywhere remotely near; is readily opposed.

Finally off the mark (26th attempt) when taking a Class 6 Beverley seller (1m4f, good) by a head last July; returns to action from a 331-day absence - first visit to Newcastle since November 2016; has previous with Urban Spirit.

14/1
Eight-race maiden; was having just his second start for the Sedgefield handler Rebecca Menzies when finishing a weakening fifth to Stormin Norman (Buyer Beware second) at Musselburgh ten days ago; cheekpieces are introduced; stamina reserves?

Has had numerous trainers during an unremarkable racing career (1-21); hasn't beaten a single rival in four starts since May 2019; simply can't be entertained as a win or place possible.

Pound Off You320
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: G Boanas| OR:  45
16/1
Haafhd filly with a modest overall profile; absent since starting at triple-figure odds in a 1m2f maiden at Ripon in August 2019; her dam Let It Be was a multiple winner (1m4f-2m1f), so that at least offers some faint hope on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Nearly There (9/4), Flash Point (4/1), Reassurance (4/1), Adams Park (12/1), Urban Spirit (12/1), The Mekon (14/1), Pound Off You (16/1), Steel Helmet (16/1), Buyer Beware (22/1), Final Choice (33/1), Our Cilla (33/1), Siyahamba (33/1), Leodis (150/1)

Verdict

Sadly, very much a case of after the Lord Mayor's Show following on immediately from a good quality (Class 3) 2m handicap, so a firm and definitive view won't be forthcoming. Buyer Beware must enter calculations in the hope that he can replicate a positive performance on turf at Musselburgh, while Nearly There and Urban Spirit are relatively closely matched on previous C&D form. However, a 'free hit' is taken at Tracy Waggott's nine-race maiden FLASH POINT. He wasn't disgraced when fifth over C&D last month, and that form has been well advertised since by the 1-2-3 (Le Musee, Zabeel Star and Nataleena).
