9/2

Three wins from 7 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Nottingham 5 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains of interest.

Wise Eagle¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Hanagan| T: A Nicol| OR: 89

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Looked back in form there last time, but needs more from this mark.

7/1

Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good to soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Unexposed at this sort of trip and should be closer to peak fitness now.

50/1

100/1, first run since leaving N. W. Alexander when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good to soft) 15 days ago, slowly away. Something to prove.

11/2

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Doncaster (10.2f, good) 35 days ago, faring best of those held up. Back up in trip and one to consider.

22/1

Last of 4 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, heavy, 16/1) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Likely to come on for that, so shouldn't be completely dismissed.

6/4

Course winner. 5/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, soft) 22 days ago. Still getting better and boasts leading claims.

Haizoom²¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 76

9/1

Three wins from 8 runs last year. Good second of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Nottingham (14f, good), responding well. Off 7 months. Can't be ruled out on return.

Forecasts

Forza Orta (6/4), Tribal Art (9/2), Annandale (11/2), Heights Of Abraham (7/1), Haizoom (9/1), Wise Eagle (10/1), Glasses Up (22/1), King's Advice (28/1), Diocletian (50/1)

FORZA ORTA won here last season and returned with an improved third at Thirsk 22 days ago. Another step forward could see him get back to winning ways at the likely expense of Tribal Art, with Haizoom also under consideration.
