Airglow¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

7/1

Quirky sort who is now fourteen runs without a win but he ran one of his better races when second of 11 in handicap at Pontefract last time. Merits consideration.

Form: 0-89272

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 72| CD

33/1

Off 13 months before fading eleventh of 14 in handicap (16/1) over C&D on return. Went winless too in 2019 so others more persuasive.

Form: 44855-0

(13)

Van Gerwen¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 67| BF| CD

8/1

Back on song for new yard, scoring over this trip at Ripon, and close third of 8 in handicap at Chester (5.1f) lst time. That form has been franked so C&D winner is worth considering.

Form: 335813

(11)

Gamesome²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 66| D

20/1

Latest 5f win at Haydock in July and respectable third of 10 to Van Gerwen in handicap at Ripon (5f) 21 days ago, left poorly placed. Claims.

13/2

In good form in 5f handicaps until below-par fifth on AW at Newcastle last time. Sort to bounce back reverted to turf so considered.

Form: 50-4435

Sheepscar Lad³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| CD

7/1

Winless since 2018 but has resumed in good form, and run best ignored (had worst of draw) when eighth at Pontefract last time. Much better drawn here so in the mix.

Form: 334-448

(15)

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 65| CD

33/1

Forecasts

Star Prize (13/2), Balancing Act (13/2), Airglow (7/1), Sheepscar Lad (7/1), Spring Bloom (7/1), Van Gerwen (8/1), Dapper Man (8/1), Musharrif (17/2), Victory Angel (12/1), Mews House (16/1), Birkenhead (16/1), East Street Revue (18/1), Gamesome (20/1), My Kinda Day (22/1), Kendred Soul (25/1), Astrophysics (33/1), Society Queen (33/1)

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with SPRING BLOOM who looked well served by the drop back to 5f when scoring readily at Thirsk and is much less exposed than most here. Musharrif is greatly feared as he shaped well when fourth here last time and is already a three-time C&D winner, while Paul Midgley's duo Van Gerwen and Gamesome are sure to be on the premises too.
