Well backed and ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 5 days ago, despite conceding first run. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 4848-61

Thechildren'strust⁸⁹

John Clare⁴⁶

10/1

Run best excused when sixth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 14/1) 46 days ago, left poorly placed. Worth another chance to build on his reappearance.

Form: 3126-76

(8)

Club Wexford⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| CD

6/1

C&D winner who shaped as if back in form when seventh of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 5 days ago, slowly away. Potentially very well treated these days, so one to keep an eye on.

Form: 70-8907

10/3

Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 9/4) 10 days ago, forging clear. Remains well treated on old form so should go well again.

First run since leaving Kevin Frost when 8¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Six Strings in handicap (10/3) at Catterick (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Not taken lightly.

Form: 863-605

7/1

3/1, much better than the result when sixth of 20 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) 7 days ago, having hopeless task from position. One to be interested in.

Forecasts

Gulf Of Poets (3/1), Six Strings (10/3), Club Wexford (6/1), Viva Voce (7/1), Arranmore (8/1), John Clare (10/1), Fitzrovia (14/1), Motarajel (20/1), Susie Javea (22/1), Hot Summer (25/1), Risaalaat (28/1), City Wanderer (50/1), Thechildren'strust (100/1), Thornaby Nash (100/1)

SIX STRINGS ran out a comfortable winner on just his second start for Grant Tuer at Catterick 10 days ago and retains plenty of scope on old form, so an 8 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Viva Voce and Club Wexford need keeping an eye on, with Gulf of Poets also respected under a penalty.
