33/1

Susie Javea¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 62| C

20/1

Had a good spell on fibresand here early last year, winning 4 times. Respectable sixth over 1m here last month but failed to build on it when down the field back here since. Significantly up in trip.

El Jad^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 64

25/1

Form: 44-5

(8)

Allowed²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 63

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago, needing stiffer test. Unexposed profile provides hope for better again. Big player.

Form: 6743-

(7)

Kingson¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

5/2

Has a better recent strike-rate than a lot at this level, winning 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/2) 18 days ago, driven out. Only nudged up 1 lb. Another bold show likely.

Form: 31208-1

Form: 55714-4

Forecasts

Kingson (5/2), Allowed (3/1), Collaborating (4/1), By Jove (9/1), Gertcha (9/1), Let Her Loose (20/1), Susie Javea (20/1), El Jad (25/1), Meisterzinger (28/1), Aria Rose (28/1), Mirrie Dancers (33/1), Firewater (150/1)

ALLOWED is an unexposed sort from a good yard who leaves the impression she could have more to come at this longer trip so she's preferred to recent Newcastle scorer Kingson. Collaborating was a good second for his new stable last time and may prove best of the remainder.
