Say Goodnight²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 62

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Improved from return when sixth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft, 18/1) 21 days ago. Handicap mark still looks on stiff side.

Form: 59-86

Aurelia Gold²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: B R Johnson| OR: 58

17/2

Consistent type performed creditably when a close sixth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 15/2) 26 days ago. Should give her running.

Form: 6-52356

The Mad Monk³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Spencer| OR: 58| BF

15/8

Promising sort. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Race didn't pan out for him when fifth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 6/4) 33 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 00-6115

By Your Side²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 58

15/2

Beginning to look exposed on AW, though had hopeless task from position when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 20 days ago. Makes turf debut.

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 13 in minor event (400/1) at Kempton (8f). Off 169 days. Mark looks harsh on handicap debut. Difficult ask.

9/2

Third at Newcastle in March but been below form since, including when 80/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 6-63040

Eddy May²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 45

17/2

Third over C&D on penultimate outing but was bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap (13/2) at Brighton (7f, good) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 8-75037

Mcqueen²⁰

Weight: 9-9| Age: 3

T: H Spiller J: Callum Shepherd

Forecasts

The Mad Monk (15/8), Say Goodnight (7/2), Caracristi (9/2), Mcqueen (6/1), By Your Side (15/2), Aurelia Gold (17/2), Eddy May (17/2), Couldn't Could He (16/1), Pearl Of Kuwait (100/1)

THE MAD MONK can quickly bounce back in a very winnable event, with the return to a mile likely to be in his favour. McQueen was perhaps unlucky not to go even closer at Wolverhampton last time and looks the biggest danger, ahead of the largely consistent Aurelia Gold.
