4/1

Dual handicap winner last summer who stepped up on his reappearance when sixth of 14 in Class 2 over 1m here a month ago. Eased 2 lb and respected in this lower grade.

Global Spirit¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 82| C

12/1

Course winner last autumn. Not disgraced first 2 outings this term and perhaps best forgiven latest Beverley run as he stumbled leaving the stalls.

Form: 013-568

Defence Treaty^p⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| BF

40/1

Won AW claimer in February and added to tally in 11-runner handicap at Redcar (1m) in April. Not so good at Southwell last time but freshened up since.

Form: 4-21219

Little Jo²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 80

16/1

In good form in 2021, and back to winning ways in 16-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 6 lb rise in the weights.

Form: 890-731

Perfect Swiss⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78

40/1

Kicked off year with win at Southwell and has largely continued in good nick, although latest Doncaster fifth was no more than respectable.

Form: 3-12535

Lion Tower⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78

15/2

Mixed record for Mark Johnston in handicaps last year but is thriving for his in-form new trainer, winning over 1m at Newcastle (AW) and Ayr (good to firm) in April. Likely to go well again.

Form: 5222-11

Yoshimi⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

20/1

Winner over 7f at Musselbugh on return in April but not in the same form twice since, including back at Musselburgh last weekend.

Form: 888-106

Give It Some Teddy¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

16/1

Step back in right direction when fourth of 14 at Carlisle (1m, heavy) last month but not in same form at Beverley 12 days later. Is a former C&D winner but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 40-8848

(8)

Sagauteur¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75

16/1

Useful dual 1m winner in France. Unable to match that level in a handful of start for new yard but he possible needed his Beverley return a fortnight ago and he's dropped another 2 lb.

Form: 38865-4

Bringitonboris^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 74

12/1

Fairly handicapped but in danger of becoming frustrating, hanging left and unable to sustain his headway when fourth over 1m at Ayr on Tuesday.

Form: 17-6454

(3)

Irv¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 70| C

13/2

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019 and latest 4¼ lengths second at Pontefract (1m, soft) was only respectable.

Form: 700-552

(14)

Delgrey Boy⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| BF

3/1

Off the mark at Thirsk (1m) in May and has recorded a couple of creditable thirds since, the latter when back at Thirsk 9 days ago. Low mileage 4-y-o who is likely to give another good account.

Form: 48-0133

Medicine Jack¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68

66/1

Took advantage of a drop in the weights at Newcastle (7f) in April. Latest 6f Catterick third shows he's still in form but stamina an unknown now stepping up markedly in trip.

Form: 461373

Rocket Dancer¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66

22/1

Both wins over 1m on Newcastle's Tapeta, just holding on in a tight finish when gaining the latter 18 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb but does need to show he's as effective on turf.

Form: 616-261

Forecasts

Delgrey Boy (3/1), La Trinidad (4/1), Irv (13/2), Lion Tower (15/2), Global Spirit (12/1), Bringitonboris (12/1), Sagauteur (16/1), Give It Some Teddy (16/1), Little Jo (16/1), Yoshimi (20/1), Rocket Dancer (22/1), Waarif (33/1), Defence Treaty (40/1), Perfect Swiss (40/1), Medicine Jack (66/1)

LA TRINIDAD acquitted himself quite well in a useful contest over 1m here at the Dante meeting and may be capable of resuming winning ways at this slightly lower left having been dropped 2 lb since. Delgrey Boy has made a positive start to the campaign and heads the dangers along with the hat-trick seeking Lion Tower and last month's Thirsk scorer Little Jo.
