Eldelbar³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 72| CD

11/2

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 9/2) 30 days ago, making all. Clearly in good nick but has more work to do off 5 lb higher mark now.

Form: 143341

Jill Rose⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 69| CD

5/2

Posted a career-best effort when winning for the third time over this C&D (heavy) last week. 5 lb rise fair and seems sure to go well again under similar conditions.

Form: 118-841

Medicine Jack²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| D

5/1

Took advantage of a drop in the weights at Newcastle in April. Good third over C&D next time and finished with running left at Thirsk latest. Needs considering.

Form: 6-46137

Maysong¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, creditable neck third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. In the mix with a repeat.

Form: 357-773

Captain Jameson^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 69| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2018. 9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago, though it was all a bit laboured.

Form: 430-423

Obee Jo^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

8/1

Fair handicapper who won at Redcar in 2020. Made an encouraging reappearance when fifth at Wetherby in April but was unable to build on that at Nottingham last time. Eased 2 lb.

Form: 5176-50

Paddy Power¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 59| D

7/1

Took advantage of a reduced mark at Ayr in April and again ran well when third in 12-runner handicap over C&D (soft) 19 days ago. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 465413

Trulove^v⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 45

150/1

Just one win from 43 Flat runs and currently out of sorts.

Form: 80-7606

Forecasts

Jill Rose (5/2), Medicine Jack (5/1), Maysong (11/2), Captain Jameson (11/2), Eldelbar (11/2), Paddy Power (7/1), Obee Jo (8/1), Trulove (150/1)

JILL ROSE confirmed the promise of her Thirsk effort when scoring in tidy fashion over C&D last week and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up granted similar conditions. Paddy Power still has plenty of scope on old form so is entitled to remain competitive, with Medicine Jack another to bear in mind having finished with running left at Thirsk last time.
