Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 58| D

13/2

Improved to score on return at Beverley (7.4f) and quickly dispelled his Thirsk mishap (essentially refused to race) when back to winning ways at Redcar (1m) 9 days ago, drawing clear final 1f. Claims again under a penalty.

13/2

Won 3 times in 2021, including twice here. 28/1, hinted at revival when respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Potentially well treated in weaker company.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: T P O'Shea| T: J S Goldie| OR: 57| CD

15/2

2 wins from 3 runs this year, both coming at this course. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap (9.2f, good, evens) 14 days ago, well on top finish. Remains on good mark in hat-trick bid.

Form: 336-311

Martin's Brig^b⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Thompson| OR: 54

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52| D

66/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 28/1, last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (8f, soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Something to find on form.

Sophiesticate¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, creditable fourth of 9 on handicap debut at this course (9.2f, good) 14 days ago. Remains with some potential in handicaps, but may prove best with a greater test of stamina.

Form: 0-844

Fergie Time¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60| BF| D

13/8

Made winning start in handicaps at Musselburgh in May. 2/1, ran at least as well when third of 9 at this course (9.2f, good) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material.

Form: 900-13

(12)

Samurai Sneddz^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott| OR: 59

10/1

Much improved for positive ride when winning 13-runner handicap at Carlisle (9f, good) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Now 8 lb higher but remains lightly raced in handicaps.

Form: 8864-71

(6)

Shahnaz^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 59

25/1

16/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 050-964

(11)

Retirement Beckons^h⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fourth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Back to a potentially lenient mark.

Form: 45-5064

Forecasts

Fergie Time (13/8), Temper Trap (13/2), Esticky End (13/2), Shine On Brendan (15/2), Martin's Brig (8/1), Sophiesticate (17/2), Samurai Sneddz (10/1), Willing To Please (20/1), Retirement Beckons (22/1), Shahnaz (25/1), Corndavon Lad (66/1), Mr Coco Bean (80/1)

A competitive race for the grade, with FERGIE TIME taken to notch his second win of the season. Keith Dalgleish's gelding was clear of the rest when third here last time and can give another bold show from the same mark. Hat-trick seeking Shine On Brendan is the chief threat, with Martin's Brig, Esticky End and Samurai Sneddz also solid contenders
