Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: W G Harrison| OR: 60

150/1

Irresolute performer who ran no sort of race on return for Christine Dunnett on return last month. Has since switched yards again and she can only be watched here.

Form: 70/38-0

(11)

Cormier¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: B Ellison| OR: 56| BF| CD

4/9

C&D winner. 5/4, creditable second of 11 in handicap at this course (13.9f, heavy) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 078-812

(8)

Card High^t¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: W Storey| OR: 54| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2016. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (13.9f, heavy, 12/1) 14 days ago. Needs to leave that effort in his wake to play a meaningful role here.

Form: 4/40-967

Coup De Gold¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D Thompson| OR: 53| C

16/1

Below form fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (13.9f, heavy, 20/1) 14 days ago. No surprise to see him back to form encountering better ground here.

Form: 58-8664

(5)

Momentsaftamidnite⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 60WS

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden at Pontefract (10f, good, 100/1) 63 days ago. Undergone wind surgery ahead his handicap debut and interesting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 060

(7)

Aqrab⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 89 days ago. Up in trip. Makes turf debut. First run for yard after leaving Henry Spiller.

Form: 74-60

(10)

Point Of Honour²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 51

13/2

1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/2, improved on recent efforts to win 16-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good) 21 days ago, suited by way race developed. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly.

Form: 3237-31

(4)

Bollin Neil^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 49

10/1

Promising sort. 8/1, below form third of 11 in handicap at this course (13.9f, heavy) 14 days ago, seemingly finding his stamina stretched. Remains low mileage and he may yet have more to offer.

Form: 090B3

(3)

Circuit¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 45

25/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Respectable eighth of 14 in minor event (18/1) at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 964548

(9)

Aneedh^v1²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: C A Mulhall| OR: 45| D

100/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2014. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good, 80/1) 21 days ago. Visored for 1st time but easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 670/9-08

(12)

Legalized¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 45

28/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Cartmel (25.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor effort on last Flat outing. Others appeal more.

Form: 40596/6-

(13)

Somewhat Sisyphean²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 45

22/1

Unreliable type. 6/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago, very slowly away and virtually refusing to race. Readily passed over.

Form: 7-R0688

Forecasts

Cormier (4/9), Point Of Honour (13/2), Bollin Neil (10/1), Coup De Gold (16/1), Fair Sheriff (16/1), Card High (18/1), Somewhat Sisyphean (22/1), Aqrab (25/1), Circuit (25/1), Legalized (28/1), Momentsaftamidnite (40/1), Aneedh (100/1), Summer Skies (150/1)

CORMIER landed a gamble when scoring over C&D 2 starts back and, having run well when runner-up over further back here last time, he's fancied to go well again. Point of Honour and Bollin Neil are a couple of others fancied to feature.
