10/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. 14/1, not disgraced when form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good) 34 days ago, keeping on but never a threat. Claims down in grade.

17/2

Bit below form back on turf when sixth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft, well-backed 8/1) 12 days ago, left with too much to do. Can give a good account but others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 081-366

The Big House³³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 63| CD

11/2

3-time C&D winner. 6 lengths tenth of 15 to Key Look in handicap (6/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Just 1 lb above his last winning mark so not discounted.

Canford's Joy^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 60| C| D

16/1

Course winner. Visored for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 13/2) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations.

Form: 2308-97

18/1

9/2, not disgraced after 6 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago, late headway. This return to 7f will suit and he's not ruled out.

Desert Dream³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: S Spencer| OR: 56| D

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 40/1, ran well back up in trip when length fourth of 15 to Key Look in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Task is to back that up here.

10/3

C&D winner in April. 13/8, went like the best horse at the weights when third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, heavy) 7 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has good chance on form.

Form: 851223

9/1

Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in May. 11/4, not in same form when fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 8 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Looks competitive on form.

Forecasts

Hope Probe (10/3), Key Look (11/2), The Big House (11/2), Risaalaat (17/2), Kodimoor (9/1), Proud Archi (10/1), Shackabooah (12/1), Nearly A Gonna (12/1), Desert Dream (14/1), Canford's Joy (16/1), Hachert (18/1), Feel The Thunder (40/1), Tiltilys Rock (66/1), Jennies Gem (100/1), Magdalana (100/1)

A wide-open handicap which can go the way of recent C&D winner HOPE PROBE, who went like the best horse at the weights but ultimately did too much too soon when third at Lingfield last week. Kodimoor rates the main threat if he can put a below-par effort behind him, with The Big House and Canford's Joy a couple worth considering for each-way purposes.
