Big Wing²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

12/1

Fairly useful maiden who posted a respectable second in 5-runner novice at Wolverhampton in April, beating the remainder easily enough. Proved a disappointment on Chester handicap bow since, though.

Form: 4-327

(6)

Mafia Power¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 78| D

4/1

Fairly useful 1m2f winner last summer who hinted strongly at a revival when fourth of 12 in 10f handicap at Windsor (10f, good) 19 days ago. High on the shortlist.

Form: 5444-54

(2)

Zihaam^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 78| CD

9/1

Took his course tally to 6 with a career best in May. Went close to following up under a penalty 8 days later and not disgraced when fourth at Carlisle since.

Form: 6-07124

(4)

Colony Queen²¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: J Mackie| OR: 77| CD

7/1

Attracted support but produced a tame effort on testing ground at Newbury when last seen in October (final start for Steve Gollings). New yard among the winners.

Form: 436145-

(3)

Musahaba²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 68

9/1

Matched the form he showed in Ireland when second of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 28 days ago, well positioned. Back up in trip and could do better now he's up and running for this yard.

Form: 65-392

(7)

Casilli²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| C| D

5/2

Won here in 2020 and again on reappearance in April. Suited by step up in trip when following up at Ripon (9.8f) 22 days ago and is sure to go well again.

Form: 7315-11

Bit Of A Quirke^v¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-5| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 64| CD

3/1

6-time C&D winner who confirmed the promise of his previous 2 runs with victory in 12-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, soft) 12 days ago, holding on gamely. Remains feasibly handicapped on old form.

Form: 90-0221

Forecasts

Casilli (5/2), Bit Of A Quirke (3/1), Mafia Power (4/1), Colony Queen (7/1), Zihaam (9/1), Musahaba (9/1), Big Wing (12/1)

CASILLI looks better than ever at present so is taken to complete the hat-trick. Mafia Power has to be considered a big threat though, having hinted strongly at a revival at Windsor last time. Musahaba may improve again now he's seemingly on the right path for his new stable and completes the shortlist.
