Tigray^t,v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

33/1

Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 6 days ago. Better on AW.

Form: 352745

Theocrat^p,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 60

13/2

Winning hurdler. 11/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (16f, firm) 21 days ago, racing freely.

Form: 5758-47

Whitwell³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58

4/1

11/8, career best when winning 10-runner female amateur jockeys' handicap at Ripon (12f) 33 days ago. Red-hot rider's 3 lb claim offsets rise for that and good chance again if he stays longer trip.

Form: 44-2321

Fortultous¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 57

Flying Standard²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 55

Low Profile^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: M Walford| OR: 55| D

5/2

Ran up to this year's best when third at Wetherby (16f, firm) 42 days ago but he's not the most reliable and is a while without a win to his name.

Form: 58-2953

(7)

De Mazzaro^h²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 48

3/1

Evens, didn't need to improve to land 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. This longer trip should suit (winning hurdler) and he has good claims again.

Form: 3/140-21

(2)

Hidden Pearl¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Nicholls| T: John Berry| OR: 46

5/1

Maiden. Good third of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good to soft, 3/1) 12 days ago, no extra only late on after leading on bridle around 4f out. Could yet have a race in her.

Form: 30-6543

Forecasts

Low Profile (5/2), De Mazzaro (3/1), Whitwell (4/1), Hidden Pearl (5/1), Theocrat (13/2), Flying Standard (16/1), Fortultous (20/1), Tigray (33/1)

DE MAZZARO and Whitwell rather stand out in this stayers' handicap, with Tristan Davidson's charge taken to strike again after landing a punt at Musselburgh. He's still ahead of his mark and should get this longer trip. Joanna Mason had a day to remember on Saturday and has a big chance again on Ripon-winner Whitwell if he stays. Hidden Pearl could be the fly in the ointment.
