Jebel Dukhan^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 77

2/1

Ungenuine type. Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) 10 days ago. Nudged back up 2 lb and needs to raise his game a touch.

Form: 52-3522

25/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. 5/1, first run since leaving Ivan Furtado when last of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Aradous¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

16/1

10/3, won 8-runner Southwell maiden (8.1f) when last seen in January (gelded since). Still unexposed, but that form has taken plenty of knocks since and more needed up in trip for this handicap bow.

Form: 7-41

(8)

Redesdale Rebel¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 61| C

14/1

Course winner. Latest win at Thirsk in May. Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 33/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip here and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 147-147

(7)

Reclaim Victory^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Megan Nicholls| T: B Ellison| OR: 59

8/1

9/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 19 days ago, never nearer. Step forward needed here from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Onesmoothoperator (6/5), Jebel Dukhan (2/1), Reclaim Victory (8/1), Redesdale Rebel (14/1), Weather Front (14/1), Aradous (16/1), Madeeh (22/1), Broken Rifle (25/1)

ONESMOOTHOPERATOR admittedly didn't find much when it came to the crunch in a C&D novice last time, but he chased home a couple of decent types that day and it was just his second career start. David Simcock's charge is appealing off what looks a fair mark for this handicap bow. It's not hard to pick holes in all seven of his rivals, with Weather Front and Jebel Dukhan perhaps the pick of them.
