(2)

Wise Eagle¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: A Nicol| OR: 80

7/2

Has been a revelation since joining this stable and, got back to winning ways narrowly at Musselburgh 17 days ago. Another small rise might be enough to stop him.

Form: 7-11101

(7)

Clearance²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 80| C

18/1

Course winner who arrives on the back of a couple of solid efforts but doesn't appear to have much in hand of current mark.

Form: 1027-23

(5)

Stonific²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78

8/1

Confirmed the encouragement of his reappearance when cosily making the most of a handy mark at Ripon 20 days ago. Drop in trip isn't sure to suit.

Form: 6655-61

(9)

Greengage^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 76| CD

11/4

Thriving mare who has already won four times this season and arguably shaped best from an unpromising position at York 11 days ago. Big player if the gallop is strong enough.

Form: 231113

(8)

Jack Yeats¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 70

40/1

Placed in a jumpers bumper at Newcastle in January but struggling for form on the Flat since. Sliding in the weights without any sign of capitalising.

Form: 183/874

(6)

New Society⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R K Watson| OR: 66| BF| D

7/2

Scored at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and wasn't disgraced at Gowran 8 days ago. Still well treated based on the form he's shown in the past, so warrants interest returning to Britain.

Form: 700-018

(4)

Ayr Poet¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Jamie Gormley| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| C

5/1

Course winner. Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Has shaped as if in good form since but he's an unlikely stayer over this far.

Form: 214233

(3)

Four Kingdoms¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-3| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 62| CD

22/1

Well treated and bounced back when second at this track 13 days ago, doing his best work at the finish. Solid claims with a return to this trip sure to suit.

Form: 020-642

(1)

Three Castles^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 61| C

16/1

Quirky sort who has just been ticking over of late. Others make more appeal in this grade of handicap.

Form: 75-5433

Forecasts

Greengage (11/4), Wise Eagle (7/2), New Society (7/2), Ayr Poet (5/1), Stonific (8/1), Three Castles (16/1), Clearance (18/1), Four Kingdoms (22/1), Jack Yeats (40/1)

GREENGAGE finished well from a long way back at York 11 days ago and could well get back to winning ways provided this race pans out more suitably. Last-time-out winners Wise Eagle and Stonific could pose the main dangers in a handicap that looks quite strong for the grade.
