Salsoul¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69

14/1

Won 6f Chelmsford nursery in August. Not beaten another rival in 3 starts since (for Mark Johnston then David Griffiths) so has a bit to prove now setting out for another new trainer.

Form: 2515-09

Atiyah^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 68| BF| D

3/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. Good second at Nottingham in blinkers next time. Only fifth at Redcar without the blinkers since but worth another chance with headgear back on.

Form: 625-125

(5)

Country Charm¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S Whitaker| OR: 68| D

13/2

Heavy-ground novice winner last year. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago but needs more from her mark.

Form: 5123-8

Mokaman¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| D

5/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously for a stable enjoying an excellent 2021.

Form: 40-6291

(2)

Sugar Baby⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: P D Niven| OR: 65

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good) 49 days ago, badly hampered. Makes handicap debut. Improvement needed.

Form: 356

Dan De Light^e/s²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

11/2

Landed back-to-back AW wins this spring. Possibly unsuited by soft ground when well held back on turf at Haydock since and it's a bit too soon to suggest he doesn't act on turf.

Form: 560-118

(7)

Coley's Koko⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| BF| D

11/4

Winner at Musselburgh in April. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 5 days ago, no match for winner.

Form: 8-51562

Forecasts

Coley's Koko (11/4), Atiyah (3/1), Mokaman (5/1), Dan De Light (11/2), Country Charm (13/2), Sugar Baby (11/1), Salsoul (14/1)

The form of ATIYAH's Nottingham second in blinkers has been boosted a few times since so she's worth another chance with the headgear back on now. Recent Catterick scorer Mokaman looks next best ahead of Nigel Tinkler's Coley's Koko.
