Marve¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 70

50/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Southwell in January. Fifth of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (6.1f). Off 104 days. Others make more appeal.

Form: 74-15

(9)

Secret Eagle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| OR: 70| D

20/1

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Catterick in October. 10/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Others more persuasive.

Form: 01-43

(13)

Sound Reason⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69| D

6/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 5-runner minor event at Newcastle (5f, 4/11) 76 days ago, keeping on well. Makes handicap debut. Merits consideration.

Form: 7-21

(11)

High Security^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: N Tinkler| OR: 69

22/1

5/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good) 12 days ago, not much room. Can have a line put through that run and could bounce back here.

Form: 32-2355

(4)

Exalted Leader²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell| OR: 67

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 7/1) 26 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 48-346

(10)

Havagomecca²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 67| D

9/1

Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Eighth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Newcastle (5f) 20 days ago, folding tamely. Makes handicap debut. Must find best form.

Form: 3-18

(6)

Mokaman¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65| D

11/1

Good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good, 4/1) 12 days ago. Possibly a shade flattered after a lot of the field were hampered at the start that day. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2840-62

(8)

Coley's Koko⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 58| D

4/1

1 win from 2 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 4 days ago, readily. Looks the one to beat under a penalty.

Form: 5848-51

(2)

Penombre²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 63

16/1

Form: 0848-

(5)

Blissful Song²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 62| D

17/2

Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Southwell in March. 6/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 26 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has to be considered.

Form: 09-12

(7)

Liberty Blaze²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 60

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut. One to note in the market.

Form: 66-9

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 4-45

(3)

Mehmo^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: B A Curtis| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

17/2

Unreliable type. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 622655

Forecasts

Coley's Koko (4/1), Exalted Leader (9/2), Sound Reason (6/1), Mehmo (17/2), Blissful Song (17/2), Havagomecca (9/1), Mokaman (11/1), It Just Takes Time (12/1), Penombre (16/1), Secret Eagle (20/1), High Security (22/1), Krystal Maze (33/1), Midnight Stripper (40/1), Marve (50/1), Liberty Blaze (50/1)

A competitive handicap in which COLEY'S KOKO is taken to defy her penalty for winning at Musselburgh last week. She looks the type who might keep finding a bit more improvement this year and can double up here. High Security was unlucky at Catterick last time and could bounce back here. Sound Reason is a lightly-raced type who has done well on the tapeta at Newcastle and should be a danger too.
