C&D winner in 2020 who is down to a handy mark again and wasn’t beaten far at Beverley (7.4f) 18 days ago. One to be interested in.

3/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 11/1) 12 days ago, running on. Unexposed at this sort of trip so needs considering.

Three Saints Bay¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 79| CD

25/1

Unreliable type who is well treated in theory but is very hard to make a case for on recent form.

Won a pair of 5f handicaps at this course last summer but was below form on recent reappearance and has stamina to prove at this trip.

4/1

In the form of his life, comfortably resuming winning ways in 13-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Sure to go well again in current mood.

Already a three-time winner this year, and continued her good work by making an improving 3-y-o work hard here (1m) 12 days ago. Respected.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 75| CD

7/2

Landed his first race of the campaign in 9-runner handicap at Ayr (good) 32 days ago, well positioned but battling well. Should remain competitive following 2 lb rise.

Form: 445521

Glengarry^p¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: D Brooke| OR: 66| CD

14/1

Turned in his best effort of the season to resume winning ways in 8-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm)16 days ago, kept up to work. Wouldn't be an obvious type to follow up, though.

Form: 531571

Forecasts

Coase (3/1), Gweedore (7/2), Ugo Gregory (4/1), Hayadh (9/2), Gometra Ginty (5/1), Glengarry (14/1), Three Saints Bay (25/1), Gowanbuster (40/1)

HAYADH looks one to be interested in again all of a sudden having falling a fair way in the weights and returned to form with a good third at Beverley 18 days ago. He edges the vote over Ugo Gregory, who arrives at the top of his game, and Gometra Ginty, who made an improving 3-y-o work hard here last time.
