Staxton^p²¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 95| D

16/1

Ayr Silver Cup winner but only fourteenth in handicap at York (6f) final run 7 months ago. Scored on his return in 2021, so he must enter calclulations.

Saluti¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 90| D

40/1

Enjoyed a fine 2021 with four 5f wins but he came in last of 12 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 1611-30

(4)

Rathbone^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Curtis Wilson-Ruddock⁽⁷⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 89| CD

9/1

Took this event 12 months ago and he comes here on back of win in 4-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 14 days ago. Firmly in the picture despite 2 lb rise.

Form: 08-4361

Intrinsic Bond¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 89| BF| D

4/1

Failed to build on recent promise when last of 4 to Rathbone in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 485-754

(3)

Tinto¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 87| D

4/1

Temperamental sort for Amanda Perrett but he shaped well after 7 months off/on yard bow when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Player for in-form handler.

Form: 09380-6

Gumdrop⁶⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81| D

18/1

Lightly-raced 6f winner but off for 20 months since below form sixth in nursery at Ayr (6f). Hard to warm to on this occasion.

Form: 55136/

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Walford| OR: 80| CD

7/2

Music Society¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: T Eaves| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

16/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021, and below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 0502-07

(5)

Army Of India^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: S H James| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| D

20/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. Only ninth of 10 back on turf in handicap at Redcar (6f) 26 days ago but weighted to go well if he can shrug off that effort.

Form: 86-6169

(14)

Recall The Show^p,t1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: S Dixon| OR: 78| D

14/1

Latest win at Southwell in February. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4P-1438

(8)

Ahlawi^t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 77| D

11/1

Off 7 months and first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when creditable seventh of 15 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Tongue strap back on, and he should strip fitter now.

Form: 1/6332-7

(9)

Prospect¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: P T Midgley| OR: 75| CD

14/1

C&D winner in April but an unreliable sort and below form ninth of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 14 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Forecasts

Magical Max (7/2), Tinto (4/1), Intrinsic Bond (4/1), Rathbone (9/1), Ahlawi (11/1), Prospect (14/1), Recall The Show (14/1), Quest For Fun (14/1), Muscika (14/1), Music Society (16/1), Staxton (16/1), Gumdrop (18/1), Army Of India (20/1), Saluti (40/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. TINTO is without a win since 2020 but he made a promising start for the in-form Michael Dods when sixth over C&D and can take advantage of a reduced mark here. Last year's victor Rathbone also hails from a yard among the winners and is next on the list with, Magical Mix, Staxton and Saluti three more who are shorlisted.
