Stronsay^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: L Bailey| OR: 57| D

12/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 5/1) 12 days ago. Shouldn't be far away, but his strike rate (3-51) tells a story.

Form: 0-67244

Twice Adaay^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 56

10/1

Form: 74-9338

Mr Orange^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 56| D

8/1

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Down another 1 lb and it's not hard to envisage this 9-y-o playing a part in the finish.

Form: 5176-94

Gullane One^p,t¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| CD

10/3

C&D winner. 10/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. 2 lb below last winning mark and a bold show could be on the way.

Form: 3567-44

Round The Island³⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: S Whitaker| OR: 55| CD

17/2

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 11/1) 35 days ago, merely closing up late. Others make greater appeal.

Form: 4443-77

Mokaman¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 55

16/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 16 days ago. Others look stronger.

Hard Solution²⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55| CD

28/1

C&D winner. 16/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good). Off 9 months, so it's reasonable to expect that he'll be better for the run.

Form: 323005-

Enderman^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 54| D

7/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 7 in seller at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 44-9862

Fircombe Hall^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P A Kirby| OR: 53| D

16/1

Latest win at Newcastle in January. 16/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 30 days ago. Becoming well treated, but looks vulnerable all the same.

Form: 3-10609

Hurstwood¹⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: P D Niven| OR: 52| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (6f), slowly away. Off 148 days and he's not especially easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Gullane One (10/3), Enderman (7/2), Peachey Carnehan (5/1), Mr Orange (8/1), Round The Island (17/2), Twice Adaay (10/1), Stronsay (12/1), Hot Scoop (12/1), Hurstwood (12/1), Fircombe Hall (16/1), Mokaman (16/1), Dan De Light (25/1), Hard Solution (28/1), The Golden Cue (33/1)

GULLANE ONE stepped up on his reappearance display when fourth over 5f here recently and, likely to be spot-on now and with the return to this trip no bad thing, he could be the answer. Peachey Carnehan did the job well at Hamilton and will be a danger to all if in a similar mood, depsite going up 6 lb, while Enderman went close in a seller last time and has claims back in handicap company off an attractive mark. Mr Orange completes the shortlist.
