Mutabaahy⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 69| D

11/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 28/1) 9 days ago, running on. Same mark and player if backing up that effort down in class.

Form: 931445

Captain Jameson^v¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 68| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2018. Fourth of 5 in handicap (3/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on return 13 days ago, not clear run and sharper for outing. Visor back on.

Form: 57430-4

(7)

Tomily¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| C| D

16/1

Course winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 10 days ago. Difficult to recommend on this season's efforts.

Form: 003-080

(2)

Canford's Joy^v1¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 63| CD

13/2

C&D winner. 33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on return 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Has dipped to a good mark if building on that comeback run.

Form: 02308-9

B Fifty Two^p,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 9-0| J: Jane Elliott| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 62| CD

40/1

Signed off a busy 2020 with fourth course success. Record suggests the veteran may need this return.

Form: 153901-

Zylan^p³²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 62| D

9/2

17/2, third win of the year in 7-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 32 days ago. Much lower in the weights on turf and big player if continuing in form.

Form: 352551

(8)

Gullane One^p,t¹⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

11/2

Won 7-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 14 days ago, always holding on. Still very well treated on peak form up 3 lb.

Form: 0-46541

(10)

Dirchill^b³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Thompson| OR: 58| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 12/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3-32550

(11)

It Must Be Faith^v²³

Age: 11| Weight: 8-8| J: Erika Parkinson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 56| D

25/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Merits consideration back up in trip.

Form: 277943

(6)

Star Citizen^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: F Watson| OR: 53| D

50/1

Ayr winner last summer and should have come on for Newcastle return (5f, 150/1) 10 days ago.

Form: 16369-9

(3)

Bevsboy^p²

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 46| CD

22/1

One win from 26 Flat runs (over C&D at 50/1). 125/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 2 days ago. Not easy to make a case for even back here.

Form: 469-400

Forecasts

Captain Jameson (3/1), Zylan (9/2), Paddy Power (11/2), Canford's Joy (13/2), Gullane One (13/2), Dirchill (10/1), Mutabaahy (11/1), Tomily (16/1), Bevsboy (22/1), It Must Be Faith (25/1), B Fifty Two (40/1), Star Citizen (50/1)

PADDY POWER ended a losing run at Ayr a fortnight ago and a 3 lb rise might not be enough to stop him following up if he can continue the good work, bearing in mind he's been rated in the 80s in the past. It Must Be Faith and Zylan, who has been in cracking form at Southwell, are a couple of others to consider.
