Russian Virtue^h1⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Menuisier| OR: 77| BF

6/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who shaped with promise when fifth of 22 on handicap bow at Doncaster (7f) in March. Something can't have been right at Nottingham since and he's worth another chance. Hood added.

Form: 474-57

(6)

Alibaba⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 75| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 13/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) on reappearance 40 days ago, fading only late on. Should be spot on now.

Form: 12606-4

Mythical Madness^v²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 10/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: D Loughnane| OR: 75

14/1

Fair form. Eighth of 12 on 7f Wetherby handicap debut 37 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Less exposed than a lot of these.

Form: 2338

(9)

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Parr| OR: 74| D

22/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| BF

Arabian Romance²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: K P De Foy| OR: 70

Forecasts

Blackcastle Storm (9/4), Capla Berry (4/1), Arabian Romance (6/1), Russian Virtue (6/1), Alibaba (15/2), Lammas (14/1), Mythical Madness (14/1), Conscious (22/1), Vocatus (33/1)

It's probably worth putting a line through RUSSIAN VIRTUE's latest Nottingham run and he's worth another chance with his Doncaster reappearance promise still fresh in the memory. Blackcastle Storm has been knocking on the door this term and heads the dangers along with Capla Berry, who hasn't finished out of the first 3 in 4 previous visits here.
