18/1

C&D winner but it's now eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Modest sixth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at this course (11.2f, good to firm) 16 days ago so others preferred. Blinkers on now.

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Alex Garven⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

Temperamental sort who is now thirty three runs since last win in 2018. Last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 22 days ago so easy to look elsewhere.

150/1

200/1, only ninth of 11 to Don't Joke in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Carter Cowboy (3/1), Retirement Beckons (7/2), Chinese Spirit (4/1), Qawamees (11/2), Licit (11/1), Lucy Rules (14/1), Don't Joke (16/1), Zealous (18/1), Bite Ya Legs (18/1), Buzz Lightyere (66/1), Wilhelm Vonvenster (66/1), Sir Taaj (150/1)

DON'T JOKE gained his breakthrough success in an apprentice contest at Nottingham last week and is fancied to go in again given he can race off the same mark. In-form Carter Cowboy is feared most in his quest for a maiden victory, with Qawamees another who can have a say having not been seen to best effect when fourth at Musselburgh last time.
