Captain St Lucifer^p,t³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: N Mackay| T: I Furtado| OR: 52

7/2

4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 33 days ago, doing too much too soon. Steps back up in trip now and not discounted back on turf.

Form: 00-3326

(3)

Edgar Allan Poe²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 52

3/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. Good second of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, soft, 13/2) 24 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. Has to merit respect in this sort of form.

Form: 70-6882

Archive¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 48| CD

17/2

Veteran C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm) 19 days ago, left poorly placed.

Form: 688-588

O'Reilly's Pass²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47

11/1

50/1, eighteenth of 20 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) 21 days ago. Back up markedly in trip but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 46-0760

(5)

Tarnhelm¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: W Storey| OR: 46

11/2

Untrustworthy individual. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm, 9/1) 19 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 0-39350

Strict Order^p,t1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 45

10/1

Showed first form when third of 12 over this trip at Catterick in May. Went with no encouragement on hurdles debut since but not entirely dismissed back on the level.

Form: 8573-43

Jan De Heem²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-1| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 45| C| D

22/1

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Ninth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (12.1f, soft) 24 days ago. That was his first start for 7 months and he may well strip fitter.

Form: 55006-9

(7)

Maghfoor^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 45| D

25/1

One win from 30 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2017. 50/1, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good) 20 days ago. Others make greater appeal back on the level.

Form: 4/7067-9

(9)

Jean Mary²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Russell⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 14/1, sixth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f) 24 days ago, not disgraced in coming from a long way back. Progress not ruled out in this sphere from basement mark.

Form: 080/96

Forecasts

Edgar Allan Poe (3/1), Captain St Lucifer (7/2), Jean Mary (5/1), Tarnhelm (11/2), Archive (17/2), Strict Order (10/1), O'Reilly's Pass (11/1), Jan De Heem (22/1), Maghfoor (25/1)

CAPTAIN ST LUCIFER has largely been in good form in handicaps in recent months and may well be difficult to peg back if allowed to bowl along at the head of affairs back up in trip. Edgar Allan Poe heads up the dangers, ahead of Jean Mary, who may have a little more to offer at a low level.
