Motawaazy²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: M Dods| OR: 55| BF| D

2/1

Winner at Catterick in June. 4/7, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 24 days ago, having run of race. Expected to be bang there once again.

Form: 8/75-212

(7)

Monaadhil¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54

14/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2017. 20/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 69495-6

(8)

Etikaal²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53| D

11/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. Respectable 7¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Motawaazy in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Form: 36-5668

(13)

Shine On Brendan¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 53

12/1

Respectable third of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, needing lesser test. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 544053

(11)

Bawaader¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 52

14/1

Good fourth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue and he's not without each-way hope.

Form: 490-834

(4)

Absolute Dream²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52

13/2

Latest win at Newcastle in March. 11/1, good 3½ lengths third of 14 to Motawaazy in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 184403

(2)

Elusif^v⁷²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 51| BF| D

22/1

Latest win at Kempton in April. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (15/8) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 72 days ago. 0-8 on turf and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 654518

(6)

Firmdecisions⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50| D

18/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, fifth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 8 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 0-04675

(5)

Kodimoor¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 50| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Creditable third of 14 in handicap (4/1) at this course (8.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 031503

(3)

De Bruyne Horse⁴⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 49| D

50/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 48 days ago. Back up in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 316080

(10)

Palazzo^v¹⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 47| D

50/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. 18/5, fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f), slowly away. Off 108 days and minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 22-3165

(14)

Shesaheart^p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 55

50/1

13 lengths twelfth of 14 to Motawaazy in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 28 days ago. Now tried in cheekpieces and the headgear needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 2750-30

(9)

Oh So Woke⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55

4/1

17/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 4 days ago. Big player off the same mark if able to back that effort up here.

Form: 750082

(12)

Christmas Night²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 47| CD

25/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 17/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Each-way shout.

Form: 340-073

Forecasts

Motawaazy (2/1), Oh So Woke (4/1), Absolute Dream (13/2), Kodimoor (9/1), Etikaal (11/1), Shine On Brendan (12/1), Bawaader (14/1), Monaadhil (14/1), Firmdecisions (18/1), Elusif (22/1), Christmas Night (25/1), Shesaheart (50/1), De Bruyne Horse (50/1), Palazzo (50/1)

MOTAWAAZY has made a very positive start for this yard, going close at Thirsk and Ayr either side of his Catterick breakthrough success. Still on a workable mark and drawn to attack in stall one, he will take plenty of stopping. Oh So Woke should be in the thick of things if backing up her latest improved effort, while Absolute Dream and Christmas Night are others to consider.
