7/2

Respectable third of 10 in handicap (15/8) at Doncaster (6f, firm) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has looked ahead of his mark this season, so solid claims once more.

Form: 360-223

Mr Trevor²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 63

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 12/1). Off 7 months. Likely to need the run, so hard to make a solid case for.

18/1

16/1, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good) 21 days ago. Should strip fitter for that and return to this trip will help.

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 50 days ago. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Not easy to make a case for.

7/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 26 days ago. Had a bit in hand having met trouble, so merits consideration after a small rise.

Form: 7583-71

Velocistar²²

Forecasts

Cometh The Man (7/2), Kidyounot (4/1), Mr Trevor (9/2), Unashamed (6/1), Camerily Joe (7/1), Pop Favorite (11/1), Velocistar (18/1), Hoofs Happy Now (18/1), Ginato (18/1), Cool Dandy (33/1), Kevin The Minion (40/1), Better By Far (50/1), Lady Artela (50/1)

COMETH THE MAN has been knocking on the door this term and a return to slightly easier ground (firm at Doncaster last time) will likely suit, so he's narrowly preferred to Unashamed, who improved to make a successful return at Wolverhampton 18 days ago. Camerily Joe, another last-time-out winner, also warrants consideration.
