Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P J McDonald| T: R Hannon| OR: 101| BF| D

5/2

Built on promising return to run out a good winner of the Spring Cup at Newbury in April. Went like the best horse at the weights when second next time and remains with potential back from break.

Form: 221-312

Cruyff Turn⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 98| D

5/1

Won for the fourth time this season when landing a valuable prize at York (7.8f) last month. Left with a lot to do when fourth at Ayr last week and remans one to view positively.

Afaak³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 98| D

6/1

Proved hit and miss last season, but is down to a good mark and shaped as if retaining ability when fifth of 11 in 1m handicap at Newbury on return 32 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Form: 03560-5

United Front¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 93| D

10/1

Proved better than ever to resume winning ways at Chelmsford in April. Looked amiss at York next time but shaped well after 4 months off when second at Yarmouth recently, so he's of interest again.

Nugget (5/2), Noble Dynasty (5/2), Cruyff Turn (5/1), Afaak (6/1), Latest Generation (13/2), United Front (10/1), Young Fire (16/1)

NUGGET was shaping up well in good-quality handicaps in the spring and is taken to pick up from where he left off on his return from a break. Thirsk-scorer Noble Dynasty is in a deeper race now but remains unexposed, while United Front is one to be interested in again after shaping well from off the pace at Yarmouth recently.
