Resumed winning ways in a first-time hood at Ripon earlier in the month, and ran well under a penalty when second at Catterick 24 hrs later. Can go well again.

Moonshiner²⁹

5/2

Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, firm, 13/8) 29 days ago, all out. 3 lb higher mark asks for a bit more.

Red Walls¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: L Williamson| OR: 51| D

14/1

Took a step forward to get off the mark at Wolverhampton in May. Bit of a mixed bag since but latest run there can be excused having raced wide.

Bama Lama³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 46

11/8

Improved to get off the mark in 7-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, soft) 3 days ago, kept up to work. Goes unpenalised so boasts obvious follow-up claims.

Form: 4598-01

Beet The Rain^t,v1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Hitchcott| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 45

125/1

Little impact in various events. Hopes pinned on first-time visor sparking improvement.

Forecasts

Bama Lama (11/8), Morty (85/40), Moonshiner (5/2), Red Walls (14/1), Beet The Rain (125/1)

MORTY has resumed his progress in recent starts and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Bama Lama goes unpenalised for her recent Windsor success and is considered the main threat.
