13/2

10/1

13/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, never nearer. Tongue strap on 1st time and not without each-way hope in an open-looking race.

3/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2018. 22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Continues to edge down the weights but opposable all the same.

Liamba^v²¹

11/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Haydock (6f, good) 21 days ago. Claims judged on peak form but one or two of these are more appealing.

Form: 743350

Ugo Gregory^b,t1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| D

9/2

9/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and, now 1 lb below last winning mark, he'll be a danger to all if on a going day.

Form: 6-34958

80/1

Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (6f, soft, 100/1) 59 days ago. 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights and looks up against it.

Forecasts

Quanah (15/8), Lucky Lucky Man (3/1), Canford's Joy (4/1), Ugo Gregory (9/2), Inexes (13/2), Tommy G (10/1), Liamba (11/1), Forever A Lady (12/1), Kupa River (18/1), Major Pusey (50/1), Bevsboy (80/1)

One of the most likely scenarios in a race of many variables is that INEXES will bounce back from a slightly subdued effort at Pontefract and get his head back in front. He chased home a well-treated rival over this C&D on penultimate start and will handle the conditions as well as any. An on-song Ugo Gregory would be a big threat off this mark, while Quanah and Kupa River are others to consider.
