Chief Craftsman^p1⁵²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

14/1

Last of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Ayr (10f, firm) 52 days ago. Step back up in trip may help, but the first-time cheekpieces will need to have a positive effect if he's to play a leading role.

Form: 514-367

Qawamees^p,t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Rosie Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| BF

7/1

One win from 25 Flat runs, which was gained back in August 2019. Sixth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 556336

Smart Lass^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Alisa McClung⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65| CD

11/1

Four-time course winner, the latest in May. Only sixth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm, 10/1) 14 days ago, though, and she looks vulnerable.

Form: P-42516

Out Of Breath¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64| C| D

9/4

Four wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm, 6/4) 11 days ago by head from Lord Torranaga, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously.

Lord Torranaga¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Nick Barratt-Atkin⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 63

9/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in April. 9/4, good head second of 5 to Out of Breath in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, getting first run. Should be in the thick of things once again.

Yukon^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Matthew Ennis⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 60

7/1

13/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, running on. Not without each-way hope, but others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Percy Prosecco^p¹⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 59

11/1

Unreliable individual. Eleven runs since last win in 2019. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 33/1), very slowly away. Off 144 days and significantly back up in trip here.

Form: 2-88600

Dream Point^h¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Violet Barton⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 58

8/1

9/4, won 14-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 16 days ago, cosily. This is tougher up 4 lb, but she clearly goes well for Violet Barton and is dangerous to discount.

Form: 598231

(5)

Thorntoun Care^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| C| D

20/1

Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2019. 10/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and may again find a few too good.

Form: 05-2629

(3)

Gripper^b,t²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Zoe Rodgers⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 49

50/1

Unreliable sort. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 2 days ago. Modest performer in this sphere and is probably worth taking on.

Form: 567-536

(10)

One Last Hug²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Amie Waugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

40/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back up in trip and looks set for another struggle.

Form: 900-658

Out Of Breath (9/4), Lord Torranaga (9/2), Qawamees (7/1), Yukon (7/1), Dream Point (8/1), Smart Lass (11/1), Percy Prosecco (11/1), Chief Craftsman (14/1), Thorntoun Care (20/1), One Last Hug (40/1), Gripper (50/1)

OUT OF BREATH conceded first run to the enterprisingly-ridden Lord Torranaga when nailing that rival (pair clear of the rest) close home at Ayr recently and, 4 lb 'well in' here, he is taken to extend his winning sequence. Lord Torranaga may again emerge as second best ahead of recent Catterick winner Dream Point and Yukon.
