Ice Age^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: C J Teague| OR: 64| D

16/1

Unreliable type. Thirty runs since last win in 2018. 80/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way on this debut for new yard.

Form: 5-40000

Sam's Call¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| BF

9/4

Good third of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Mark unchanged and, with this step back up to 6f unlikely to pose a problem, he's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 4579/53

Gigi's Beach^b,t⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 61| BF| D

11/2

Latest win at Newcastle in April. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Newcastle (6f) 48 days ago, slowly away. Each-way shout.

Rebel Redemption¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 61| D

3/1

11/1, won 15-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. That was his first taste of success on turf and while this 4 lb higher mark demands more, he has to enter calculations.

Form: 359721

Kolossus^t³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: D Thompson| OR: 57| CD

8/1

C&D winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. 12/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 39 days ago, unable to sustain effort. First run for yard after leaving John Davies.

Form: 797-280

Avior Star^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 52

4/1

Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 17/2) 7 days ago, running on. Merits consideration off this 2 lb lower mark, but fact that he's 0-14 tempers enthusiasm.

Form: 050393

Isabella Ruby^h²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Howard Cheng| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| D

66/1

Two wins from 49 Flat runs. 125/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, firm) 21 days ago, merely closing up late. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 409858

Secret Equity¹²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: S H James| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 45

18/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (5f). Off 129 days and she's readily passed over.

Form: 0797-97

Jessie Allan⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 8-7| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Thirty-eight runs since last win in 2018. 40/1, last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 090-808

(2)

Sandy B⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago. Very hard to warm to.

Forecasts

Sam's Call (9/4), Gleniffer (11/4), Rebel Redemption (3/1), Avior Star (4/1), Gigi's Beach (11/2), Kolossus (8/1), Ice Age (16/1), Secret Equity (18/1), Grandads Best Girl (25/1), Jessie Allan (40/1), Isabella Ruby (66/1), Sandy B (100/1)

The vote goes to SAM'S CALL, who has shaped well both starts switched to handicaps since returning from a 20-month absence and the booking of Daniel Tudhope adds to his appeal. Gleniffer opened his account in good style over C&D last month and will be a big threat if able to back that up, while recent Thirsk scorer Rebel Redemption and Gigi's Beach should both have parts to play.
