Gunnerside⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 65| D

6/4

Another from his in-form yard who is thriving at present, making it 4 wins in last 6 starts when edging out Economic Crisis at Hamilton last week. Escapes a penalty and every chance of another win.

Requiems Dream⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 62| D

13/2

Out the back on Musselburgh return in April but that was a Class 4 so he could find life easier at this level and it's still early days for him with this stable.

Form: 15/560-0

Indian Pursuit^v¹²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 62| D

33/1

Prominent racer. Won twice at Chelmsford in late-2020. Freshened up since a below-par run at Wolverhampton in February. Could have a say if ready to roll after absence.

Form: 1417-25

Economic Crisis⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 61| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Back to form when head second to reopposing Gunnerside at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, finishing well. Actually 2 lb lower now so good theoretical chance of turning tables.

Form: 28-8552

(3)

Raabeh⁹

11/1

Creditable second of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (5f) 9 days ago, running on. Likely to be in the mix if as effective back on turf.

Forecasts

Gunnerside (6/4), Tanasoq (7/2), Economic Crisis (11/2), Requiems Dream (13/2), Raabeh (11/1), Suwaan (12/1), Rose Bandit (12/1), Indian Pursuit (33/1)

ECONOMIC CRISIS enjoys a 2 lb swing in the weights with Gunnerside for a narrow defeat at Hamilton last week so might be able to turn to the tables on Grant Tuer's improving 4-y-o. Raabeh may prove best of the rest.
