Bibbidibobbidiboo³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rowan Scott| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 56| CD

15/2

Last win came at this C&D over 3 years ago but on a career-low mark as a result and not seen to best effect at Catterick latest having gone close in a claimer at Redcar the time before.

Form: 83-7937

Kiskadee^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Smart| OR: 55

40/1

Modest form at best from 3 runs but should at least make a bigger impact now handicapping.

Form: 848

Written Broadcast^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 54

10/1

Long-standing maiden who is best treated with caution.

Form: 887087

Amelia R¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Craggs| OR: 53| D

7/4

Strong in the betting after an unlucky run at Ayr 7 days earlier and duly made amends when 4-length winner at Beverley last month. Only 4 lb higher here so every chance she could follow up.

Form: 60-2461

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 47| CD

Winner of 2 of his last 3 starts, including when recording his first success on turf over this C&D last week, beating Monaadhil by 1¼ lengths. Respected under a penalty.

Form: 080101

Beechwood Emily²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 56| D

9/1

Modest filly who arrives on the back of 2 poor efforts. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2-73384

(5)

Monaadhil^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 49

13/2

Winless since 2017 but turned in best effort of the season when second to Exchequer in minor event at this C&D (good to firm, 9/1) 7 days ago, nearest finish. 2 lb better off with that rival here.

Form: 95-6062

(8)

Toolmaker^v1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 45

11/2

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs and though wasn't disgraced at Newcastle on Monday, others are preferred for win purposes. Change of headgear.

Form: 302658

(6)

Red Amapola²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 51

100/1

Always behind all 3 starts in novice events. Much more needed now handicapping.

Form: 686

Forecasts

Amelia R (7/4), Exchequer (9/2), Toolmaker (11/2), Monaadhil (13/2), Bibbidibobbidiboo (15/2), Beechwood Emily (9/1), Written Broadcast (10/1), Kiskadee (40/1), Red Amapola (100/1)

AMELIA R didn't beat much when forging clear at Beverley last month but the handicapper hasn't overreacted so there's every chance she can win again. Bibbidibobbidiboo is becoming well handicapped so is feared most ahead of Exchequer and Monaadhil, who locked horns over this C&D recently.
