Calculus²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁵⁾| T: Sara Ender| OR: 56

12/1

Maiden. Off 5 months/first run since leaving Lucinda Egerton when ninth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Tricky to fancy.

Form: 293669

22/1

Won 3 times in 2020. 22/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 28 days ago, folding. Needs a revival.

Form: 05-5000

Melgate Majeure^p¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J Garritty| T: D Brooke| OR: 54| CD

7/2

4-time course winner. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 15 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly after that promising run (below last successful mark now).

Form: 635905

Grand Pianola^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Hanagan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

12/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 9/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 18 days ago. Tongue strap back on and that needs to spark some improvement.

Form: 3523-09

Sognatore³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 55| BF

9/4

Modest maiden. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 39 days ago. Ought to be able to pick up a race on what he's shown.

Form: 473425

(9)

Iron Sheriff⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Bradley Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 54

9/2

Off the mark in 9-runner minor event at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft, 9/4f) 6 days ago under this rider. Good claims back in handicap if staying longer trip/proving as effective on AW.

Form: 794551

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 52

50/1

80/1

Modest maiden. 100/1, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good) 47 days ago. Steps back up in trip markedly but others arrive with far more pressing claims.

(14)

Oot Ma Way^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 46

8/1

Maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap (5/1) at Ripon (12f, good) 29 days ago, taking strong hold. Shorter trip here should help.

Poor maiden, often slowly away. 11/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, firm) 24 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

Forecasts

Sognatore (9/4), Melgate Majeure (7/2), Iron Sheriff (9/2), Seven For A Pound (6/1), Little By Little (6/1), Oot Ma Way (8/1), Grand Pianola (12/1), Belvedere Blast (12/1), Calculus (12/1), Loch Long (16/1), Motahassen (22/1), Shamrock Wine (25/1), Williewinamillion (50/1), Hawk In The Wind (80/1)

IRON SHERIFF probably has more races in him now he's got the ball rolling and he can follow up his Beverley win if staying this longer trip back on AW. Melgate Majeure caught the eye here last time and could add to his 4 course wins in the coming weeks. Little By Little is also an interesting runner on her handicap debut.
