Good Regal^h,t¹⁹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Louis Steward| T: I Mohammed| OR: 65| D

15/2

Low-mileage 4-y-o who confirmed more positive signs over shorter trips when off the mark at Nottingham (10.2f, soft) in October, by ½-length from Le Bayou. Unexposed at this sort of trip and she's of interest again on return.

Dark Company¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65

14/1

Untrustworthy individual who won at Southwell (1m) in January but below that level all 5 starts since, well held ninth of 10 at Pontefract (1m) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 149889

Love Your Work²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: R Menzies| OR: 64| BF

13/8

In fine form on the AW for new connections this year, adding third victory to his tally at Southwell (1m) in March. Solid second from lower turf mark at Doncaster (10.2f) has followed and he rates a live player once more.

Dr Rio¹³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: P T Midgley| OR: 61

14/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2019. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) in December, making effort earlier than ideal. Now operating from career-low mark if short break has had positive effect.

Masque Of Anarchy²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 60| CD

7/1

Tasted success 3 times last year for Tim Fitzgerald, landing a C&D handicap either side of victories on AW at 10f. Encouragement to glean from return/yard debut third at Doncaster (10.2f) and certainly worth a look re-united with Oisin McSweeney.

Form: 21166-3

Termonator⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 60

6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 9 days ago, running on. No reason why he won't give another good account for all his losing run is mounting up.

Form: 024233

Bit Of A Quirke²¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 58| CD

22/1

6-time C&D winner who twice went close here last spring prior to resuming winning ways at Leicester (10f, soft) in May. Record proved rather hit and miss thereafter though and he may just need this first run for 7 months.

Form: 567308-

Le Bayou^b⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre| OR: 51| CD

7/1

Shed maiden tag over C&D last summer and went close on 2 occasions thereafter at around 1¼m. Out of sorts on AW when last seen in January but is operating 1 lb below last winning mark if refitted blinkers/return to this venue perks him up.

Form: 2259-90

(3)

Saulire Star^b1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 49

11/1

Maiden who fallen plenty in weights and shaped encouragingly when fourth in 14-runner Catterick handicap (12f) 15 days ago, no extra late on sat close to sound pace/making effort earlier than ideal. One to bear in mind equipped with first-time blinkers.

Form: 454-894

(7)

Paddy Elliott^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 48

28/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford (10f) 21 days ago, fading over 1f out. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3-97270

(2)

Tanglewood Tales⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: S Dixon| OR: 45

50/1

Maiden who has failed to beat a rival in 3 starts on the Flat for Jake Thomas Coulson since the turn of the year. Starts out for new yard now and likely best watched unless betting suggests otherwise.

Form: 327-800

(9)

Gloryella^b³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-2| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

150/1

Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. Last of 7 in maiden (200/1) at Newcastle (8f) 36 days ago, headed under 3f out and soon beaten. Easy enough to look elsewhere returned to handicap company.

Form: 88-9507

Forecasts

Love Your Work (13/8), Termonator (6/1), Masque Of Anarchy (7/1), Le Bayou (7/1), Good Regal (15/2), Saulire Star (11/1), Dr Rio (14/1), Dark Company (14/1), Bit Of A Quirke (22/1), Paddy Elliott (28/1), Tanglewood Tales (50/1), Gloryella (150/1)

Already a 3-time winner on all-weather for his shrewd yard since the turn of the year, LOVE YOUR WORK again ran well when runner-up back on turf at Doncaster 26 days ago and he looks sure to go well. C&D winner Masque of Anarchy shaped well himself on return at Doncaster and is feared, along with Good Regal and Saulire Star.
