9/4

Has returned in good form, winning big-field 6f Thirsk handicap and then running well off revised mark in stronger Hamilton contest. One to consider back down in a 0-75.

Form: 1297-14

8/1

Returned to form from out of the blue when third in heavy-ground 6f Catterick handicap last week, keeping on. Career-low mark but far from sure to back that up.

11/2

Poor effort back on turf here (7f) last time having been running well on the AW. More needed back down in trip.

11/2

Ran better than for a while on second start back with Rod Millman after 4 months off (had breathing operation in interim) at Wolverhampton 8 weeks ago, but temperamental tendencies resurfaced.

Equidae^p,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

13/2

Scored at Southwell in February and has remained in form, having a bit too much use made of him at Catterick (7f) last time. Interesting now back sprinting and down 3 lb.

Madrinho^b³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

14/1

Goodwood winner off 1 lb lower in the mud under this rider last summer and he scored again at Kempton in March. No impact here last time and blinkers now reached for. Don't dismiss lightly.

Society Queen^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 62| D

13/2

Successful off much-reduced mark in the mud at Pontefract in the autumn and should have come on for Thirsk return 3 weeks ago. She could figure.

Form: 00816-5

Red Bravo^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 60| D

12/1

Won at Nottingham last autumn. Slow starts usually a concern with him though, and he completely blew the break on his return there 3 weeks ago. Risky.

Forecasts

Dream Together (9/4), Kapono (11/2), Airshow (11/2), Equidae (13/2), Society Queen (13/2), Dark Defender (8/1), Red Bravo (12/1), Madrinho (14/1)

EQUIDAE remains in good form and can take advantage of a 3 lb drop in the weights and resume winning ways. Dream Together is a big player back down in class, while Madrinho could bounce back to form re-united with Cieren Fallon.
