7/1

Good third of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good, 8/1) 9 days ago. Decent chance on form but the 11 stall could make life awkward.

Form: 05-4283

16/1

Three-time 5f winner on AW at Lingfield in 2022. Posted another solid effort there when third in April but he's not so good on turf and was down the field at York last month.

10/11

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Runner-up for third start in succession when going down by a neck at Goodwood (6f, good) 6 days ago. Well drawn. Expected to be bang there again.

14/1

Off the mark for the season in 5-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 10/1) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Ought to remain competitive up 4 lb.

Ballyare^p,t²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 78| D

8/1

Pair of AW handicap wins towards the end of 2021. Hasn't been in races run to suit his hold-up style back on turf the last twice and that's the worry again here.

Form: 7-22647

Manigordo^p,t¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| BF| D

11/1

Drawn a blank since Thirsk win last April but he was a good second at Ripon last month and he raced away from the main action back at Thirsk since (likely still in form).

Form: 844-728

Redrosezorro^h¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-6| J: Harrison Shaw| T: E J Alston| OR: 67| D

9/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2020 but she showed plenty of her customary zip when runner-up twice at Catterick this spring. Missed break and best not judged on latest run. Has the inside stall here and should go well if breaking on terms.

Form: 22-0229

80/1

Six-time course winner. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when last of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 100/1) on reappearance 6 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time.

Form: 57820-0

Street Life^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 66| D

22/1

Respectable in-frame efforts on all 3 starts this season but has the outside stall to contend with here.

Form: 124-434

Forecasts

Indian Creak (10/11), Hyperfocus (7/1), Ballyare (8/1), Redrosezorro (9/1), Manigordo (11/1), Toussarok (14/1), John Kirkup (14/1), Strong Power (16/1), Show Me Show Me (20/1), Street Life (22/1), Red Walls (66/1), Powerallied (80/1)

INDIAN CREAK has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and, from a handy draw, can deservedly get his head back in front under David Probert. Usual prominent racer Redrosezorro spoilt his chance at the start last time but that's not like him and he ought to go well if getting away on terms from the inside stall. Manigordo is another who should be competitive.
