The Bell Conductor²²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Shane Gray| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 79

10/1

Fairly useful 2yo who failed to reproduce that level of form in only two outings last year. Has a bit to prove back from another 7 months off.

Form: 2321/77-

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 76| D

One win from 26 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2018. Below-form fifth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 11 days ago.

Dick Datchery^b,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

15/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 6/1, creditable ¾-length second of 15 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago. Thereabouts again if in similar form.

Form: 045482

Strongbowe¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 73

3/1

Easily best effort for new yard when length third of 15 to Mutanaaseq in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, running on.

Form: 860-673

J R Cavagin³¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80

16/1

Landed a York novice and Beverley nursery (both 5f) as a juvenile. Should prove as effective at 6f and clearly an interesting contender as a very much unexposed 3-y-o.

Form: 611-

Mutanaaseq¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 71| CD

7/2

Posted a couple of good runner-up efforts before seeing off a few of these rivals to score over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, suited by strong pace. Should still be very competitive up 4 lb.

Form: 30-7221

(2)

The Armed Man¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 71| CD

9/2

Winner of this race in 2018 and 2019. 11/1, shaped well when 2½ lengths fifth of 15 to Mutanaaseq over C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Needs considering.

Form: 605-825

Flavius Titus^b³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: D Brooke| OR: 71| D

16/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 046-760

(8)

Water Of Leith²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: R Menzies| OR: 78| D

20/1

Pair of Wolverhampton novice wins for Jim Goldie in December but has found life tough in handicaps so far this year. Mark on the slide as a result but has too much to prove at present.

Form: 1-39987

(6)

Khabib^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Craggs| OR: 70

28/1

AW winner for George Scott last autumn but well beaten on Redcar reappearance 15 days ago. Hard to fancy after that.

Forecasts

Strongbowe (3/1), Mutanaaseq (7/2), The Armed Man (9/2), Restless Endeavour (7/1), Dick Datchery (15/2), North Wind (9/1), The Bell Conductor (10/1), Flavius Titus (16/1), J R Cavagin (16/1), Water Of Leith (20/1), Khabib (28/1)

THE ARMED MAN looks to be coming to the boil again and can reverse recent course form with a couple of these and land a third win in this contest. Mutanaaseq and Dick Datchery were ahead of the selection in first and second last time and ought to figure again, while it'll be interesting to see if there's any confidence behind unexposed 3-y-o J R Cavagin on his return to action.
