John Kirkup¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 81| C| D

3/1

Course winner who went backwards from his reappearance when only seventh of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 14/1) 12 days ago. On a workable mark but has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 3120-97

Canford Bay⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 75| D

13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2020, but wasn't disgraced behind a pair of younger rivals at Catterick last week, so needs considering.

Form: 223573

Pretty Boy Floyd^b⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs S Dawson| OR: 74| D

11/10

Ran up to best in first-time blinkers when second of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (5.5f, soft) 5 days ago, better placed than most. Excellent claims if reproducing that.

Form: 114-592

Teruntum Star^p⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 74| C| D

9/1

Course winner who took advantage of a reduced mark at Beverley in May, but wasn't in the same form at Catterick last week. Must bounce back.

Form: 48-U716

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 68| D

18/1

Scored at Wolverhampton in March. Decent effort on turf at Thirsk at the beginning of the month but wasn't in the same form back on softer ground at Catterick last time.

Form: 314458

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Megan Nicholls| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 62| CD

8/1

C&D winner in 2020 who returned to form from out the blue to bag 5f handicap at Carlisle (heavy) 10 days ago. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 127-801

(6)

Celerity^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-2| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

150/1

Remains a maiden after 99 Flat runs so easy to oppose from well out of the weights.

Form: 90-5858

Forecasts

Pretty Boy Floyd (11/10), John Kirkup (3/1), Canford Bay (13/2), Somewhere Secret (8/1), Teruntum Star (9/1), Mutabaahy (18/1), Celerity (150/1)

PRETTY BOY FLOYD ran a cracker when runner-up in a big-field handicap at the Curragh last week and has excellent claims of going one better if turning up in similar form. Somewhere Secret is respected under a penalty for Carlisle, while Canford Bay wasn't disgraced behind a pair of younger rivals at Catterick recently.
