7/4

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 18 days ago by length from Arcavallo, driven out. Has to be taken seriously.

20/1

Creditable 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Dark Side Prince in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 18 days ago. Likely to give his running once again.

Arcavallo^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 52| D

11/4

Twenty five runs since last win in 2018. 6/1, creditable length second of 9 to Dark Side Prince in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Pedestal^p,t³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 50| D

50/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2016. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago. Makes fibresand debut. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Has work to do.

Form: 7/0007-8

(4)

Red Allure^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 50| D

5/1

10/1, creditable second of 10 in minor event at this C&D 18 days ago. Unexposed on this surface, so solid claims in a race that lacks depth.

Form: 5362-62

(5)

Blackcurrent^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: A D Brown| OR: 49| D

11/1

Unreliable individual. 17/2, creditable third of 10 in minor event at this C&D 18 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers back on. Claims if he can build on that.

Form: 7981-63

Bluella^t⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 45| CD

6/1

C&D winner. One win from 30 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 4 days ago. Others are more appealing.

Form: 04-4937

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 45

40/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 23 days ago. Hard to fancy in current form.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 60/6-08

Forecasts

Dark Side Prince (7/4), Arcavallo (11/4), Red Allure (5/1), Bluella (6/1), Blackcurrent (11/1), Brandy Station (20/1), Essaka (25/1), Queens Road (33/1), Heartstar (40/1), Pedestal (50/1), The Kyllachy Touch (100/1)

RED ALLURE took well to this surface last time, only just denied on the post, so she's fancied to go one better under another positive ride in a weak race. Dark Side Prince and Arcavallo, who battled out the finish over C&D 18 days ago, should be thereabouts once again.
