Shortbackandsides^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 59

6/1

Returned to form with a third upped to this trip at Haydock (soft) last time out. Application of blinkers (retained) appeared to help that day and he races off a mark 1lb lower than for his most recent success.

Form: 1-80783

(3)

Lagenda¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 57| BF| CD

12/1

C&D winner on good ground on his penultimate start but failed to replicate that effort when 3½L eighth on good-to-firm ground here in a similar event a week later. Needs to bounce back if he's to take this event.

Form: 7-03718

(2)

Hachert^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: J Candlish| OR: 62| CD

3/1

Built on a promising ½L third over this C&D on good ground last month when winning by 1L here seven days later. Hood worn for both of those starts is retained and he holds strong claims despite a 3lb rise in the weights.

Form: 0-4831

Equidae^p,t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| D

9/2

Return to this trip should suit having finished 14L ninth over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good) last time out. Market support would be notable back down to his last winning mark.

Form: 150649

Jungle Book²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 60

13/2

Ten race maiden has finished held on all three starts since joining this stable including over C&D on good ground last time out. Likely more needed if he's to take this contest.

Form: 383-088

Big City^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 59

9/2

Ran well to finish third in a handicap over an extended 1m at Hamilton (good) on his most recent start. Drop in trip no issue and is of interest once more.

Form: 79-2453

(10)

Alioski^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57

17/2

Five race maiden is stepping up in trip having finished 4L fourth in a 6f handicap on good-to-firm ground here last time out. Cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 787-64

(7)

Indiaro⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 46

80/1

Ten race maiden has struggled in three starts this season including over 6f at this venue recently. Others hold more obvious claims upped in distance.

Form: 708-967

(8)

Jessie Allan⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| C

14/1

Dual winner over 6f here and finished a decent 3L fourth over that trip on good-to-soft ground here last week. More needed if she's to register a first success over this trip.

Form: 6-34394

Mi Capricho²⁴³

Forecasts

Hachert (3/1), Big City (9/2), Equidae (9/2), Shortbackandsides (6/1), Jungle Book (13/2), Alioski (17/2), Lagenda (12/1), Jessie Allan (14/1), Mi Capricho (20/1), Indiaro (80/1)

HACHERT remains open to improvement and he is taken to follow up his victory over this C&D last time out by taking this event off a 3lb higher mark. The selection has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit and can get the better of top weight Shortbackandsides who ran well when placed at Haydock on his most recent outing. Third place can go to Big City who is dropping back in distance and is another to have placed on his most recent outing.
