Royal Residence¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Ffrench| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 85| D

20/1

100/1, very good second of 19 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago, closing all way to line. Remains on a fair mark and big chance if able to reproduce that form in this lesser race.

Form: 40-0792

(13)

I Am A Dreamer¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 85| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 33/1, creditable sixth of 19 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago. 1 lb lower now but minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 7-01706

(2)

Quick Look³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 84| CD

20/1

C&D winner. 12/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft) 31 days ago. Possibilities if the ground remains on the slow side.

Form: 19-3506

(4)

Abel Handy¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 84

7/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Good fourth of 19 in handicap (33/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 16 days ago. 3 lb below last winning mark and will enter calculaions if the ground dries out.

Form: 326234

(5)

Tanasoq²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| D

40/1

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 7/1) 23 days ago. Peak form certainly gives him claims off this mark but one or two make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 8-07954

(3)

Broken Spear^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 84| BF

14/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Good second of 12 in handicap (16/5) at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, running on. Probably would've won had he got the breaks that day. Major player.

Form: 7-86602

(7)

King Of Tonga¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R P Downey| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

22/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, good, 20/1) 18 days ago. Not without a chance if he puts his best foot forward but passed over by Daniel Tudhope in favour of Abel Handy.

Form: 71-0608

(10)

Flying Pursuit^p,t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| CD

12/1

Three-time C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. 10/1, below par sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted. None too reliable.

Form: 324-046

(15)

Music Society³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

33/1

Fourteenth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Along with stablemate Flying Pursuit, he's likely to find a few too good.

Form: 10-7470

(8)

Tathmeen¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 81| D

66/1

Three wins from 12 runs this year, the latest at Newcastle in March. 10/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Couldn't rule out.

Form: 128486

(12)

Roundhay Park^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 80| C| D

5/1

Course winner. Latest win at York in July. 11/2, very good second of 12 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to soft) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Remains feasibly treated and a must for the shortlist.

Form: 565142

(9)

John Kirkup²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 80| D

17/2

Won 11-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, heavy, 9/2) 27 days ago. More on his plate up 3 lb in this stronger race.

Form: 90-0221

(1)

Zumurud²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 79| D

25/1

Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 16/1) 28 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 705-855

(14)

Rock Sound²⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 78| BF| D

7/2

6/4, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f). Entitled to need the run following a 9-month absence.

Form: 8677/12-

(6)

Penny Pot Lane^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: S De Sousa| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 67| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 10060-9

Forecasts

Abel Handy (7/2), Rock Sound (7/2), Roundhay Park (5/1), I Am A Dreamer (13/2), John Kirkup (17/2), Flying Pursuit (12/1), Broken Spear (14/1), Quick Look (20/1), Royal Residence (20/1), King Of Tonga (22/1), Zumurud (25/1), Penny Pot Lane (28/1), Music Society (33/1), Tanasoq (40/1), Tathmeen (66/1)

ROUNDHAY PARK and Broken Spear both looked unlucky at Chester 12 days ago, particularly the former who did well to finish as close as he did given his wide draw and the traffic problems he encountered at crucial stages of the race. Nigel Tinkler's charge earns the vote. Royal Residence and Abel Handy, second and fourth respectively in the C&D Great St Wilfrid Handicap, are others to consider.
