George Morland⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 78| D

10/1

Off the mark on debut at Kempton (7f) in March and stepped up again when second under a penalty at Salisbury in April. Yet to make much impact in trio of handicaps but his mark is easing at least.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 74| BF

3/1

Off the mark on return/yard debut in a Bath maiden (5.7f) in April. Consistent in defeat since, creditable second of 5 in 6f handicap here 10 days ago, closing all the way to the line. One to consider

Gosnay Gold^h⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 67| CD

4/1

3/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 9 days ago, doing it well albeit in a weak race. Still, not ruled out in present groove turned out under a penalty.

Ajrad¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Quinn| T: W J Knight| OR: 72

3/1

28/1, first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when good second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 14 days ago, despite not being ideally placed. May do better still for new yard on that evidence.

Form: 23-3662

(5)

Mellys Flyer^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: George Scott| OR: 69| CD

9/2

C&D winner in July. 4/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, soft) 33 days ago, underfoot conditions possibly catching him out. Likely he'll face competition for the lead here.

Forecasts

Marlay Park (3/1), Ajrad (3/1), Gosnay Gold (4/1), Mellys Flyer (9/2), Bhubezi (11/2), George Morland (10/1)

A winner of a Bath maiden back in the spring, MARLAY PARK has proven consistent in defeat since, closing all the way to the line when runner-up over 6f here 10 days ago having been denied a run 3f out. He earns the vote returned to 7f. Ajrad caught the eye at Lingfield recently and along with recent C&D winner Gosnay Gold, can give the selection most to think about.
