3/1

Three-time C&D winner. Stepped up on reappearance when 2 lengths last of 4 at Wetherby 15 days ago but remains 3 lb above his last successful mark.

Mudlahhim^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jonathan Fisher| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| D

Largely operating below best since a 7f Wolverhampton claiming win in January. Handicap mark has come down as a result, though.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72| D

15/8

Right back in the groove under 7 lb claimer Ryan Sexton this spring, winning twice on AW in March. Also a good second over C&D last month. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 5 at Ayr latest. Leading claims.

Form: 731124

Tromso^b1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65

12/1

Fair maiden for Kevin Ryan but hasn't shown enough in 2 outings for new yard this spring to be particularly upbeat about his prospects here.

Form: 2820-08

(2)

Langholm^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Heard| T: M Dods| OR: 63| CD

5/2

Built on a solid reappearance run when making all over 7f at Thirsk a fortnight ago, showing a determined attitude to hold on. 3 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from him.

Form: 4510-31

Forecasts

Chookie Dunedin (15/8), Langholm (5/2), Parys Mountain (3/1), Mudlahhim (13/2), Tromso (12/1)

CHOOKIE DUNEDIN has been in good form since teaming up with Ryan Sexton and gets the nod to resume winning ways, most likely at the expense of recent Thirsk scorer Langholm.
