Airgead Suas²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 12-3| J: Cillin Leonard⁽⁷⁾| T: S Edmunds| OR: 122| CD

1/1

Arrives on a hat-trick after handicap wins at Exeter and over C&D, benefiting from the step up in trip when gutsy scorer last time. Up 7 lb but remains unexposed at staying trips so good claims.

Form: 34-3411

Bailarico^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR: 117| D

11/2

Fair stayer on Flat but has failed to make the frame in three runs over hurdles this term, blinkers tried when sixth over C&D 25 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 140/906

Oscar Clouds⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Craig Nichol| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 114

3/1

Has been brought along steadily and kept on well under a patient ride when third of 10 in novice at Kelso (20.9f) 72 days ago. Up in trip for handicap bow and not taken lightly for good yard.

Form: 6-43

Wynford^b,t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Ryan Mania| T: L Egerton| OR: 113

50/1

Fair 14f winner at best on Flat but he has shown little this term, well-held fourth of 5 in 22f handicap chase (66/1) at Musselburgh 8 days ago. Back over hurdles with plenty to prove.

Form: 39/54-74

Tyrell⁷⁰⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J Kington| T: L Bailey| OR: 112| C

40/1

Course winner in 2018 for Micky Hammond but returns now after 23 months off. Fitness clearly a big concern on yard debut now so others appeal more.

Maison D'Or²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Alain Cawley| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 103| CD

11/2

C&D winner who arrives on back of creditable fourth of 10 to Airgead Suas in handicap here 25 days ago. Sure to go well again.

Forecasts

Airgead Suas (1/1), All Hail Caesar (2/1), Oscar Clouds (3/1), Bailarico (11/2), Maison D'Or (11/2), Tyrell (40/1), Wynford (50/1)

AIRGEAD SUAS arrives on the up and still unexposed over staying trips so is fancied to defy a 7 lb rise for his recent C&D success and complete a quick hat-trick. In-form C&D winner Maison d'Or is sure to make his presence felt while Oscar Clouds looks set to take a step forward now going handicapping up in trip so is well worth a look too.
