Fred²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

22/1

Bagged third win of 2021 at Brighton in April and in good form until last of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Reportedly found to be lame there and sort to bounce back.

Flaming Spear^p⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 80| CD

4/1

C&D winner but it's now seventeen runs since last win in 2018. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago but others are more persuasive.

Giuseppe Cassioli⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Dwyer| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 73| D

9/2

7/1, readily won 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago on only second run for current yard. Carries 5 lb penalty but can make presence felt once more.

Form: 8-43481

Colonel Faulkner^p³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 83| D

15/8

Back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap (6/5) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 37 days ago, getting up on post. Still low mileage, and he's weighted to go close raised just 3 lb.

Form: 1-34531

Miami Joy^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: I Mohammed| OR: 82| C| D

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: M Blake| OR: 75

14/1

Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Can give another good account eased 1 lb now.

Form: 312663

Tipperary Jack¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J F Egan| T: J R Best| OR: 71| C

10/1

Course winner who recorded respectable fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 15 days ago. Considered off 1 lb lower mark.

Form: 759464

Busted Ice³⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 64| BF

50/1

Fair ex-German 10f winner for Andreas Wohler but off the track since second in 10f handicap at Hanover a year ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his comeback/yard bow.

Colonel Faulkner (15/8), Flaming Spear (4/1), Miami Joy (9/2), Giuseppe Cassioli (9/2), Tipperary Jack (10/1), Love Dreams (14/1), Fred (22/1), Busted Ice (50/1)

COLONEL FAULKNER looked to have more to offer when getting up late at Lingfield last month so is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Giuseppe Cassioli ran out a ready winner at Wolverhampton last week for his new yard and is feared most, while in-form Love Dreams appeals as the pick of the rest and rates a solid place prospect.
