Pisanello⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| D

40/1

Pretty useful at his best around 1m in France for Fabrice Chappet. Ran poorly in a Longchamp claimer last time but still needs keeping an eye on in the market on this first outing for David O'Meara.

Form: 835-340

Ulshaw Bridge^b,t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 78| D

14/1

Respectable fourth of 15 in competitive Carlisle Bell (1m, good to firm) 43 days ago. Ought to be in the mix again.

Form: 15-3564

Sweet Believer⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| CD

10/11

Progressive, winning Nottingham novice before readily accounting for 4 rivals in a C&D handicap under Adam Farragher 8 days ago. Hard to see a 6 lb penalty stopping her if showing up in similar form.

Form: 724-211

Give It Some Teddy⁴^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| CD

5/2

Four-time C&D winner who stepped up previous efforts this year when winning 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) on Sunday. Will need more if he's to follow up under 4 lb penalty.

Form: 480521

Delgrey Boy³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| BF| D

10/1

Winner at Thirsk in May and has largely remained in form since. Possibly unsuited by soft ground when beaten at short odds at Pontefract last month and can bounce back now.

Perfect Swiss¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| D

33/1

Operating below best lately, although she wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 17 days ago, hampered.

Form: 535797

Rum Runner³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: D Nolan| T: G A Harker| OR: 70| D

9/1

Went close over 1m at Ripon last month. Didn't see it out when stepped back up to 1¼m back at Ripon on Monday and likely still in form quickly returned to 1m.

Forecasts

Sweet Believer (10/11), Give It Some Teddy (5/2), Rum Runner (9/1), Delgrey Boy (10/1), Ulshaw Bridge (14/1), Mossbawn (14/1), Perfect Swiss (33/1), Pisanello (40/1)

A race which to a large extent revolves around sole 3-y-o SWEET BELIEVER who scored readily over C&D last week and will be very hard to stop with a repeat of that form. Delgrey Boy is better than he showed at Pontefract last time and can chase the Newmarket raider home.
