Company Minx⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: N Callan| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 56| D

3/1

Fared better than of late when fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good, 10/1) 58 days ago, finishing well. Lurking from a potentially lenient mark so not discounted.

Form: 9457-94

Bernard Spierpoint^b1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Swift| T: C Wallis| OR: 54

18/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in January. 12/1, below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time and down to his last winning mark, he's worth a market check.

Brazen Arrow^v¹¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: E J Walsh| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 54| BF| D

22/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in January. Run best excused when seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 16/5), poorly drawn/placed (also reported to have bled). Off 4 months. Back up in trip. Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 93-4127

The Tron^v¹¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: D Shaw| OR: 53

15/2

2 wins from 4 runs this year. 13/2, shaped as if still in good form when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f), always on the back foot having missed the kick from his wide draw. Off 111 days. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 42-1136

(6)

Scale Force^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J Quinn| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 53

14/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, not disgraced when last of 4 in claimer at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago.

Form: 274544

Alafdhal^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Frederick Larson⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 52

9/1

Looked awkward when last of 7 in handicap at Bath (8f, good, 25/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Tough to support with much confidence after that showing.

Form: 964547

Jack Ryan^v²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Ryan| OR: 52| C| D

13/2

Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in April. Again ran poorly when last of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago. Won from this mark on turf last year so he merits consideration if putting a couple of lesser efforts behind him.

Form: 271250

Admirable Lad^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 49| D

14/1

7/1, never on terms when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago, hampered start.

Form: 5-90807

(2)

Gossamer Silk²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: D P Quinn| OR: 49

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap (66/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 20 days ago, merely closing up late. Makes turf debut. Tough to fancy.

Form: 36-607

(9)

Hyba^t1²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D P Quinn| OR: 47

20/1

Offered little on first outing since leaving Robert Cowell after 10 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 63642-7

(7)

Lincoln Red¹³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: Olly Williams| OR: 45| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Ran poorly after just 5 days off when eighth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1). Off over 4 months. Must improve.

Form: 6096-68

Littlemissattitude²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Again finished well held when last of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 25 days ago.

Form: 8/689-00

Forecasts

Company Minx (3/1), Lincoln Red (4/1), Jack Ryan (13/2), The Tron (15/2), Alafdhal (9/1), Gossamer Silk (9/1), Admirable Lad (14/1), Scale Force (14/1), Bernard Spierpoint (18/1), Hyba (20/1), Brazen Arrow (22/1), Littlemissattitude (50/1)

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal, with THE TRON selected to come out on top. Derek Shaw's charge was always on the back foot having missed the kick at Chelmsford in February but is now stepping back up in trip here, he can open his account on turf at the third time of asking. Jack Ryan, Bernard Spierpoint and Company Minx head up the opposition.
