Queen's Sargent²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| OR: 86

33/1

Off 6 months ahead of fading seventh of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 28 days ago. Should strip fitter now, so no forlorn hope.

Form: 07015-7

Cassy O^b⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

7/1

10/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 2040-96

9/1

Stumbled badly 4f out when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 15/2) 8 days ago. Not discounted with that return under his belt.

Form: 93656-0

Tangled¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: G Tutty| OR: 78| CD

8/1

Landed this event 12 months ago, and not disgraced after 7 months off when fourth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Pontefract (8f, good) 19 days ago. Needs considering.

Form: 82536-4

Makeen³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74| D

11/10

Confirmed reappearance promise when landing 12-runner handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 30 days ago. Still low mileage, so has to be taken seriously nudged up just 2 lb.

Form: 3258-41

(5)

End Zone⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| C

14/1

Course winner. Only ninth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 20/1) 40 days ago. Others have achieved more.

Form: 1367-69

(7)

Detective¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 70| C

7/2

Posted a career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good, 10/3) 15 days ago. Course winner too, so he merits consideration.

Forecasts

Makeen (11/10), Detective (7/2), Hello Zabeel (13/2), Cassy O (7/1), Tangled (8/1), Sucellus (8/1), Jump The Gun (9/1), End Zone (14/1), Queen's Sargent (33/1)

MAKEEN has taken his form up a notch this term so is fancied to defy a 2 lb weight rise and follow up his Musselburgh success. Detective is feared most on the back of his recent Hamilton victory, with last year's winner Tangled another who can have a say in an open handicap.
