Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 61| D

15/2

Twenty-two runs since last win in 2020. Respectable second of 10 in claimer at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 5/1) 15 days ago. Every chance if back to best.

28/1

50/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. LIkely to find a few of these too good.

Mr Fayez^p,t⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 58

11/2

Good second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 10/3) 4 days ag, but more will be needed if he's to go one better in this contest.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: E J Alston| OR: 57| D

22/1

7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f), rallying. Just 1 lb higher here and should have a part to play if ready to roll following a 14-month absence.

66/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 17/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Back up in trip and this veteran is essentially opposable.

Forecasts

Mr Fayez (11/2), True Mason (13/2), The Cola Kid (7/1), Dandys Gold (15/2), Impressor (15/2), Athollblair Boy (8/1), Mostallim (11/1), Blackjack (12/1), Rabat (12/1), Helvetian (14/1), El Hombre (16/1), Little Muddy (20/1), Arnold (20/1), Maple Jack (20/1), Bezzas Lad (22/1), Harry's Ridge (22/1), Buniann (28/1), Red Alert (28/1), Ratafia (50/1), Freedom Flyer (50/1), Lucky Beggar (66/1)

MAPLE JACK failed to trouble the judge in a couple of runs on the all-weather earlier this year, but the form of his Musselburgh maiden success last spring reads very well in the context of this race and he returns from a break on a potentially handy mark. Harry's Ridge will be a danger to all if fully tuned-up following 14 months off, while Impressor also merits respect, along with Dandys Gold and Helvetian.
