Sir Gregory¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| D

7/4

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 2/1) 10 days ago, well on top finish. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and has to merit serious consideration again.

Form: 6570-71

40/1

40/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 34 days ago, going with little fluency and weakening final 1f. Needs to bounce back.

Won Love^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tuite| OR: 53

15/2

Respectable 3½ lengths third of 11 to Sir Gregory in handicap at Kempton (6f, 5/1) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account again.

Form: 0748-73

Brazen Arrow^v¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 52| D

9/2

Career best when winning 9-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/3) 12 days ago, looking well suited by a positive ride. Another holding claims with a repeat back in a handicap.

Form: 7293-41

Twentysharesofgrey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 47

13/2

One win from 22 Flat runs. Stepped up on yard debut when good second of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Task now is to back that up.

Form: 6060-62

Wicklow Warrior^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: P D Niven| OR: 46| D

15/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. 28/1, respectable 2½ lengths fifth of 13 to Atrafan in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, keeping on. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 68960-5

Edessann^h,t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: M Herrington| OR: 45| D

22/1

Fifteen runs since sole success in 2020. 20/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 4 weeks ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others preferred.

Form: 70700-6

Spirit Of Heaven¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

200/1

100/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 13 days ago. Steps back up in trip here but hard to fancy on balance.

Form: 99900-8

(2)

Outofthegloom⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

125/1

Last of 12 in handicap (125/1) at this course (8.1f) 9 days ago. That was her first start for 6 months but she'll need to step up plenty on that to feature in any case.

Form: 64209-0

Forecasts

Sir Gregory (7/4), Brazen Arrow (9/2), Atrafan (5/1), Twentysharesofgrey (13/2), Won Love (15/2), Wicklow Warrior (15/2), Edessann (22/1), Delagate The Lady (40/1), Outofthegloom (125/1), Spirit Of Heaven (200/1)

SIR GREGORY quickly showed the benefit of his yard debut and landed a gamble in the process when scoring in good style at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. He can follow-up under a penalty. Atrafan and Brazen Arrow equally arrive in good heart though, and should give the selection something to think about.
