6/1

Respectable third of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 14 days ago. 2 lb lower for this turf debut and he's not without hope. Visor back on.

Act Of Magic¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: J Mackie| OR: 54

10/3

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 10/3, first run since leaving Alice Haynes when respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and he's one to consider.

Edgar Allan Poe¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 53

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 14/1) 11 days ago. Couldn't rule out off a lowly mark.

(2)

Barney Bullet^p,t²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 47| D

25/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Only eighth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 27 days ago and bit to prove on the back of that low-key reappearance. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 30/152-8

(8)

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

25/1

33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip here and he's hard to make a case for.

Form: 344809

Forecasts

Flammarion (13/8), Act Of Magic (10/3), Kings Creek (9/2), Straight Ash (5/1), Seventeen O Four (6/1), Edgar Allan Poe (9/1), Idilico (14/1), Winfola (18/1), Katsonis (25/1), Barney Bullet (25/1), Tippler (80/1), Roser Moter (150/1)

Bumper-winner FLAMMARION posted his best effort yet on the Flat when third at Thirsk a fortnight ago and, if able to build on that, this low-mileage 5-y-o will take some stopping off the same mark. Act of Magic is generally consistent and should be in the mix once again, having acquitted himself well on recent debut for this yard at Chelmsford. Edgar Allan Poe is worth a second look, too.
