3/1

As good as ever of late, winning 5f Redcar handicap before chasing home another improver on a different part of the track at Haydock. Big player again.

7/4

Followed up Yarmouth debut win with victory in good time at Bath (5f, firm), still keen but drawing clear. Seemed to get bogged down in the mud in messy handicap at Windsor and worth another chance.

Form: 114

Ballintoy Harbour³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 79| D

7/1

Scored on final 2020 start and made a winning reappearance at Newcastle in April. Down the field at York (6f) latest start 5 weeks ago but drops back in grade/trip here.

Form: 41-136

14/1

Confirmed that she's back in better nick at Haydock last time, though without getting back to her best from last year at this trip. Cheekpieces reached for.

Four Adaay¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: B R Millman| OR: 77| D

9/2

Has done well this year, scoring again in 5f Goodwood handicap in May. Fine run in stronger Windsor race 19 days ago and she's not ruled out despite a 3 lb nudge in the weights.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| OR: 73

16/1

Not seen to best effect in steadily-run AW handicaps 6 months apart since winning well-run novice in November. Down another 2 lb back on turf.

Form: 861-53

Jacattack^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: K R Burke| OR: 69| D

18/1

Two AW wins in February but not so good on turf since, weakening behind Imperium Blue at Redcar latest. Hard to fancy.

Clarendon House (7/4), Imperium Blue (3/1), Four Adaay (9/2), Ballintoy Harbour (7/1), Country Carnival (14/1), Shining Success (16/1), Jacattack (18/1)

CLARENDON HOUSE is worth another chance back on quicker ground having struggled in the Windsor mud. His Bath time was good and he seems sure to make an impact in handicaps judged on that. Imperium Blue continues to progress and looks the danger.
