Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 73| C| D

9/2

Course winner. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, meeting some trouble. Ease in grade a plus here and the assessor has afforded him a chance.

Form: 536-457

Silver Dust¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 72| CD

80/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when last of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 12 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and soon beaten. Needs to leave tat in his wake here.

Form: 25909-7

Eligible^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| D

17/2

Visored for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 14/1) 18 days ago, good headway on inner over 1f out and edging ahead final 100 yds. Claims from 3 lb higher if headgear has desired effect once more.

Form: 43-3491

Monsieur Jumbo^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 77

9/1

Winner at Newcastle in March. 14/1, good third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Worth a second look dropped down in class.

Form: 32-1433

Master Richard¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 76| D

7/4

Very good second of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 7/1) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material.

Form: 9341-52

(8)

Motarajel^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Good third of 12 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good, 7/1) 12 days ago, switched inside final 1f and staying on. Expected to give another good account.

Form: 00-5623

(6)

Grifter²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

9/2

Maiden who ran respectably on his first 2 starts this term, second in 5-runner handicap at Redcar (1m) in April. Not seen to best effect when fifth over 10f at Haydock since and he's worth bearing in mind back down in trip.

Form: 349-725

(3)

Head Chef^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| D

12/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. 13/2 and visored for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Remains low-mileage and that may not prove his limit.

Form: 586-551

(7)

Flippin' Eck^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

20/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 28/1) 30 days ago.

Form: 8316-56

Forecasts

Master Richard (7/4), Grifter (9/2), Tangled (9/2), Eligible (17/2), Monsieur Jumbo (9/1), Motarajel (11/1), Head Chef (12/1), Flippin' Eck (20/1), Silver Dust (80/1)

A competitive handicap with the vote in favour of one of the 3-y-os in the shape of GRIFTER. He was not seen to best effect over 1¼m on his latest outing at Haydock but his previous exploits at around this trip read well in the context of this race and he could be up to shedding the maiden tag here. Master Richard and Head Chef are next best, ahead of Eligible.
