11/2

Fairly useful on Flat and reached a similar level over hurdles for new yard last winter. Below expectations back in this code over C&D in April but wasn't seen to best effect and can do better.

Aveta³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79

9/1

Farily useful performer whose 2 standout efforts have come in the mud, so latest effort on less testing ground can be excused. Player if seeing out this longer trip.

Form: 6-13026

Little Ted^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66

6/1

Proved at last as good as ever to chase home an improving one over C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago, typically carrying head a bit awkwardly.

Form: 312242

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 72| BF

7/1

7/2

Belatedly proved himself on a good turf mark when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (13.9f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can go well again.

Eye Knee^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| CD

Card High^t¹¹

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Jason Hart| T: W Storey| OR: 56| CD

50/1

Latest win at Carlisle in May. Posted creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 11 days ago, but remains vulnerable to younger, less-exposed rivals.

Form: 9-51056

Myboymax²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 64| CD

8/1

C&D winner in August and ran well returned to this venue when 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Eye Knee (good to soft) 27 days ago, first home in group. Should remain competitive.

Form: 311332

Forecasts

Lord Torranaga (7/2), Sage Advice (11/2), Little Ted (6/1), Eye Knee (7/1), Innse Gall (7/1), Myboymax (8/1), Aveta (9/1), Enthused (12/1), Sociologist (14/1), Kentucky Kingdom (33/1), Card High (50/1), Luna Magic (80/1)

SAGE ADVICE failed to meet expectations back in this sphere over C&D in April but his overall profile suggests he's well worth another chance. Aveta's best efforts have come in the mud, so she's a player if seeing out this 2f longer trip, with recent course-winner Lord Torranaga also shortlisted.
