Society Red²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

In good form on AW this year but ran poorly back on turf last time. Bounce back needed.

Dream With Me¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83| CD

11/8

Improved performer to this year, adding to Wolverhampton win in March when seeing off a subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) 15 days ago. Another bold bid looks assured.

Form: 452-131

Home Before Dusk^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80| D

14/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12f) 17 days ago but claims on his Redcar third prior to that.

Arctic Fox⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 79| D

28/1

Fairly useful at up to 1½m on Flat for Richard Fahey. Disappointed on hurdle/yard debut in March but on a competitive mark based on his best Flat form.

Form: 6/83430-

40/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, good) 44 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 71

16/1

Four wins at Southwell this year but comfortably held in 2 turf outings this spring and fared no better back on AW latest. Back up in trip.

Form: 143949

Ayr Poet¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| C

3/1

Three wins last year and pulled out a bit more improvement when getting his head back in front at Musselburgh (9f) 11 days ago. Respected despite a further 6 lb rise.

Form: 143-021

Forecasts

Dream With Me (11/8), Ayr Poet (3/1), Anythingtoday (7/2), Home Before Dusk (14/1), Society Red (14/1), Daafr (16/1), Arctic Fox (28/1), Red Missile (50/1)

ANYTHINGTODAY has plied his trade at a higher level than this in recent years so might represent a bit of value up against Dream With Me, who looks sure to make a bold bid for back-to-back C&D wins. Ayr Poet has been steadily progressive at a lower level than this and is also likely to have a say.
