Zumurud^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 72| D

3/1

Won 9-runner handicap (7/2) at Catterick (7f, soft) under this rider 9 days ago. Unpenalised and obvious claims again.

Form: 500-641

Burrows Seeside³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70| BF

6/1

Dual winner at Newcastle last year. Off 4 months, creditable second of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Newcastle (7.1f) 34 days ago. Needs to back that up on turf now.

Form: 31135-2

Global Humor^p⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| D

4/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft, 17/2) 5 days ago. More needed under penalty and he's untrustworthy.

Form: 924-621

Caballero⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 64| BF| D

15/8

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. Good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/4) 8 days ago. Enters calculations.

Form: 6806-22

Gigi's Beach^b,t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: M Dods| OR: 62| D

18/1

Off 9 weeks, 8/1, won 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 36 days ago, very much having run of race but game in the finish. Player again if proving as good on turf.

Form: 63-8231

Twin Appeal¹⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 8-11| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 60| D

14/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 20/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 18 days ago. Out of sorts.

Form: 074-009

Oriental Lilly^p¹⁰³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: P Hanagan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| CD

16/1

First run for 103 days and had been out of sorts, but on a good mark back at the scene of her last success. Interesting.

Forecasts

Caballero (15/8), Zumurud (3/1), Global Humor (4/1), Burrows Seeside (6/1), Equidae (10/1), Class Clown (12/1), Twin Appeal (14/1), Oriental Lilly (16/1), Gigi's Beach (18/1)

ZUMURUD goes unpenalised for last week's Catterick win under Ella McCain and there is a good chance he can follow up. Caballero has run well on both starts over C&D this season and his turn will come. Newcastle-winner Gigi's Beach and the returning Oriental Lilly are also of interest.
