You're Cool^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: D Shaw| OR: 64| CD

14/1

5-time course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 17/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 10 days ago, nearest finish. May benefit from being ridden more prominently.

Global Humor²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| CD

5/2

Not always straightforward but going through a good spell of late, successful over C&D prior to good second of 13 back here (6f) 4 weeks ago. Respected in current groove.

Society Queen^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

20/1

Eleventh of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Haydock (6f, soft) 19 days ago, struggling 2f out. Proved more miss than hit since 2-y-o days and cheekpieces need to have positive effect on tapeta debut.

Form: 855-000

Choosey^t¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| C| D

16/1

Course winner. 7/1, last of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 17 days ago, seemingly possibly amiss. Previous effort at that venue was encouraging and not ruled out if bouncing back.

Form: 10-5040

Spring Romance^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Downing| T: D K Ivory| OR: 62| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D 27 days ago. Yet to fire this term but his mark is easing all the time.

Form: 6-85987

The Night Watch^t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: E J Walsh| T: J M Bradley| OR: 62| C| D

80/1

Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago. Hard to recommend on what he has achieved for present stable.

Form: 0-00000

Sfumato^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 61| C| D

6/1

Course winner. 20/1, seventh of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft) 6 days ago, possibly unsuited by the underfoot conditions. On a workable mark on balance and not ruled out for each-way purposes.

Form: 6-50967

You Don't Own Me¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 62| D

33/1

22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good) 18 days ago. Return to AW rates a likely plus judged on recent exploits on turf.

Tomshalfbrother^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 60| D

4/1

Sixth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 12 days ago, never travelling well and making only late headway. Needs to bounce back but booking of Murphy catches the eye.

Form: 243656

Blessed To Empress^b³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 59| D

11/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 33 days ago, driven out. Revised mark is within reach if replicating that effort here.

Form: 656701

(10)

Ustath^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 58| BF| C

7/1

Course winner. Good fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (5.1f) 10 days ago. That was his best effort of the present campaign and potentially well handicapped if building on that now.

Form: 070054

Forecasts

Global Humor (5/2), Tomshalfbrother (4/1), Sfumato (6/1), Ustath (7/1), Spring Romance (9/1), Blessed To Empress (11/1), You're Cool (14/1), Choosey (16/1), Society Queen (20/1), You Don't Own Me (33/1), The Night Watch (80/1)

BLESSED TO EMPRESS was well backed and capitalised on her reduced mark to score at Chelmsford 33 days ago. She remains with handicapping scope and earns the vote to follow up. Global Humor arrives in good order also and is feared, ahead of Tomshalfbrother.
