Tranchee⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 76| D

15/8

Made a winning debut for this yard when victorious over 7f at Wolverhampton recently. Carries a 5lb penalty for that success and holds strong claims of following up on his first turf start since last October.

Form: 7-15241

Blonde Warrior^h1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| D

18/1

Dual winner at two but held in two starts since joining this stable including when seventh over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-firm) last month. Wears a hood for the first time.

Form: 7367-57

Zumurud²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 80| C

16/1

Beaten just 1¼L when fifth in a 6f handicap on good ground here last time out. Never travelling on his only previous start at this distance and interesting to see how he performs.

Form: 1705-85

Saisons D'Or¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Owen Payton⁽⁷⁾| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 77| CD

6/1

C&D winner has finished fourth on three of his last four starts including when beaten 5L at Doncaster (good-to-firm) over 1m ten days ago. Interesting runner racing off a mark 4lb higher than for his most recent victory.

Form: 0-24404

Nubough²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine| OR: 75

7/1

Finished last of nine on seasonal debut in a 7f handicap at Ayr (good) last month. Probably best watched despite a 3lb drop in the weights.

Form: 42489-9

(3)

Look Out Louis¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

11/1

Good 1L fourth in a 6f handicap here on good ground on his penultimate start and finished a decent 4L seventh over the same trip at York (good) subsequently. Stamina to prove on his first attempt at this distance.

Form: 450-947

(6)

Erich Bloch²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 74

14/1

Ran well when 1¼L third over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) on debut for this yard in June but disappointed at Ayr (7f, good) subsequently. Interesting if capable of replicating that Beverley effort.

Form: 5000-37

Parys Mountain^h,t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| CD

7/1

Held on his last two starts including when 7L ninth in a big field 7f handicap at York (good) recently. Has won over C&D in the past and market support would be notable racing off a mark 3lb lower than for his latest success.

Form: 94-0389

Reeth^b²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

100/1

Handicap mark is falling following a couple of heavy defeats since joining this yard. Probably best watched following a 34L 12th over 1m at Ripon (good) just under a month ago.

Form: 41/15-00

(8)

Redrosezorro^h¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 68| BF| CD

13/2

C&D winner has been running well in defeat this campaign most recently when 4¼L fourth over 6f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) in first time cheekpieces (absent here) ten days ago.

Form: 50-4234

(7)

Sassoon²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 62

66/1

Ten race maiden was beaten 11L when sixth in a 1m4f seller at Lingfield in January on his final start for Paul Cole. Others make more appeal on debut for this yard.

Tranchee (15/8), Saisons D'Or (6/1), Redrosezorro (13/2), Parys Mountain (7/1), Nubough (7/1), Look Out Louis (11/1), Erich Bloch (14/1), Native Silver (14/1), Zumurud (16/1), Blonde Warrior (18/1), Rum Runner (25/1), Sassoon (66/1), Reeth (100/1)

TRANCHEE can defy top weight and a penalty to take this competitive looking 7f handicap. The selection was an all-weather winner on his most recent start and he can make a winning return to turf by getting the better of his rivals here. Saisons D'Or has been running well in defeat so far this campaign and he can claim second spot ahead of Erich Bloch who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him to take third.
