Off time: 17:25 | Winning time: 2m 43.06s

(3)

Lord Torranaga¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: P A Kirby| OR: 69| D

15/2

First run since leaving E. J. O'Neill when sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm, 50/1) on UK debut 19 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 2-21666

(6)

Percy Prosecco¹⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 68| CD

7/1

Below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft, 4/1) 159 days ago. 7 lb higher than when winning this race last year, but he's not discounted.

Form: 2119-58

(13)

Running Cloud⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Megan Jordan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68

66/1

Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm, 50/1) 48 days ago, not ideally placed. Record on turf (0-16 on the Flat) is off-putting.

Form: 715596

(12)

Snookered²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Matt Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 68

9/2

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (16.2f, good, 7/2) 24 days ago. Back down in trip and may again find a few too good.

Form: 264-825

(15)

George Mallory^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: K A Ryan| OR: 65

4/1

16/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's a big player off the same mark here with Simon Walker booked.

Form: 134-454

(7)

Be Perfect¹⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65| CD

14/1

Three-time C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 05-72U8

(10)

Dance King^p³³

Age: 10| Weight: 10-10| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

9/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2018. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 33 days ago. Remains on a feasible mark and each-way claims.

Form: 70340-3

(8)

Thorntoun Care^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65| D

12/1

50/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and place possibilities if on a going day.

Form: 617-707

(11)

Delph Crescent¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Eireann Cagney⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

9/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 11 days ago. This is his lowest mark for over 2 years and he's certainly not without hope.

Form: 0-85766

(5)

Langholm²⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss C A Dods⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 63WS

33/1

Off 9 months ahead of this debut for new yard (poor effort over hurdles on sole start for Jonjo O'Neill in November). Undergone wind surgery since and not discounted back in this sphere.

Form: 211423-

(4)

Greengage^h²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Rachel Huskisson⁽⁷⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 63| D

16/1

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D (good) 26 days ago, faring best of those held up. Each-way shout.

Form: 163464

Kyoto Star^b²⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Unknown Jockey| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

50/1

Below form fourth of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 50/1), suited by emphasis on stamina. Off 9 months and yard may have a better chance here with Dance King.

Form: 7/69084-

(2)

Hillgrove Angel¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss A Peck⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| D

28/1

Last of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Musselburgh (13f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that display.

Form: 00/811-7

(14)

Tapis Libre^p²⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 10-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 33/1, good third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good) 26 days ago. Couldn't rule out off the same mark.

Form: 4860-03

Forecasts

George Mallory (4/1), Snookered (9/2), Percy Prosecco (7/1), Lord Torranaga (15/2), Dance King (9/1), Delph Crescent (9/1), Sulafaat (10/1), Thorntoun Care (12/1), Be Perfect (14/1), Greengage (16/1), Tapis Libre (22/1), Hillgrove Angel (28/1), Langholm (33/1), Kyoto Star (50/1), Running Cloud (66/1)

GEORGE MALLORY has shaped as though his turn may be near in 2 starts following a wind operation, latterly finishing a close fourth behind a trio of 3-y-os at Hamilton. He is appealing with leading amateur Simon Walker doing the steering. Delph Crescent isn't the easiest to catch right, but he's lurking on a dangerous mark and is feared, along with last year's winner Percy Prosecco and Langholm.
