Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 77| CD

25/1

3-time C&D winner who went close on a number of occasions last year. Below best final start at Pontefract (5f) final start in October but not out of things from this mark if ready to roll on return.

Duke Of Firenze⁸⁴

Age: 12| Weight: 9-13| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 76| D

50/1

Veteran campaigner who added to his tally on AW at Lingfield (5f) in April. Proved more miss than hit in handful of starts since but this much more suitable than his latest assignment in Epsom Dash.

Not On Your Nellie¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| CD

10/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 10 days ago, the step up in grade possibly catching him out. This rates more suitable and not ruled out.

5/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in June. 20/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, finding it too competitive. Return to calmer waters rates a plus now.

Latin Five¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 73| D

8/1

7/2, bounced back to form to win 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, driven out. 3 lb higher mark not beyond him but tendency to hang left is a slight concern.

Form: 553361

Tar Heel⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74

40/1

Blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event (16/1) at Sligo (5.8f, good to soft) 74 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien and the betting may prove a good guide here.

Form: 95-0065

Dark Shot^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| D

14/1

Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, needing lesser test. Should give another good account but losing run tempers enthusiasm.

Roman Encounter¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 69| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 7/1) 11 days ago, headed last ½f and no extra. Wide draw here may not be ideal.

Symbol of Hope¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| CD

9/1

Impressive when opening account over C&D 17 days ago. 4/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 10 days ago, not ideally placed. Bounce back not ruled out.

50/1

13/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 72 days ago. Something to find on form.

Arnold¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 59| CD

12/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/1) 16 days ago. 6 lb higher now but not ruled out in this groove granted a strong pace to aim at.

Forecasts

Son And Sannie (2/1), Ventura Flame (5/1), Van Gerwen (6/1), Latin Five (8/1), Symbol of Hope (9/1), Not On Your Nellie (10/1), Arnold (12/1), East Street Revue (12/1), Dark Shot (14/1), Roman Encounter (14/1), The Bell Conductor (14/1), Our Little Pony (25/1), Tar Heel (40/1), Duke Of Firenze (50/1), Country Charm (50/1)

ARNOLD was well served by the strong pace when coming fast and late to score over C&D 16 days ago and, with another good gallop likely to aim at here, he could be worth chancing to follow up from a 6 lb higher mark. This is ultra-competitive though, with Latin Five, Symbol of Hope and Son And Sannie alll respected in opposition. Veteran Duke of Firenze also holds each-way claims.
