4/1

Useful handicapper ran his worst race of the season back on going firmer than good at Ascot 4 weeks ago. Seems best with cut in the ground.

Bagged a couple of 6f Hamilton handicaps last season. Satisfactory reappearance at Ascot in May but was well held having a rare start at this trip there 2 months later. Had wind operation since.

Gained a second success for current yard at Hamilton (6f) in May. More miss than hit since but shaped as if back in form at Thirsk last week, despite not being seen to best effect. Not ruled out.

5/1

Fairly useful sort who ran respectably on first outing since leaving E. J. O'Neill (for £12,000) when sixth of 19 in handicap at York (7.9f, good) 29 days ago. May build on that.

Form: 2573-46

Lion Ring⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 72

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden who came on plenty for his stable debut/reappearance 7 weeks earlier when third in 6f handicap at Newmarket last week. May do better still.

Form: 453-73

Forecasts

Cold Stare (4/1), True Blue Moon (4/1), Eloquent Arthur (5/1), Carnival Zain (5/1), Chookie Dunedin (7/1), Gweedore (7/1), Sucellus (8/1), Edgewood (10/1), Lion Ring (10/1), Emraan (18/1), Hazel (20/1), Central City (66/1)

SUCELLUS failed to repeat his C&D win at Chester last time, but the softer ground/quick turnaround were potential excuses, so he’s well worth another chance now back under less testing conditions, especially as he still figures off a handy mark on the pick of his efforts last season. Lion Ring may do better still for his new yard, while True Blue Moon looked back in form at Thirsk last week.
