Wentworth Falls^p¹¹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Shane Gray| T: G A Harker| OR: 82| D

18/1

15/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, never nearer. Still, he's lurking on a workable mark and no surprise if he's on the premises here.

Form: 30-0425

Badri¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 79| D

22/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Both career wins have come on the AW and it could be that he's simply a better horses on artificial surfaces.

Form: 03/3287

Huddle Up^e/s¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: C Lee| T: T D Barron| OR: 79| D

11/1

11/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Back down to mark off which he scored at Navan on final run of last season for previous connections, so there's cause for optimism.

Form: 4/031-75

Politics⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: K Stott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 79

28/1

22/1, last of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 50 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 4262-00

(7)

Ghathanfar^v1³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: B A Curtis| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 76| BF| D

5/4

Latest win at Wetherby in May. 11/2, good second of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 3 days ago, sticking to task. Visor on 1st time and another bold show likely if turned out again quickly.

Form: 721642

Captain Vallo^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 74| D

6/1

Creditable third of 15 in handicap at this C&D (good, 14/1) 14 days ago, best work finish. More needed if he's to get his head back in front.

Form: 28-7473

(12)

Quest For Fun¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 74

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 17 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 622/0

(4)

Spartan Fighter^v⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 73| D

18/1

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/1) 78 days ago. Looks competitive on form, returned to turf off a lower mark.

Form: 741144

(6)

Robasta^t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 78| D

20/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 1866-78

(2)

The Armed Man¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 69| CD

10/1

Four-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 17 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. One to consider.

Form: 88-3112

(11)

Lovely Mana^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: G Boughey| OR: 76

7/1

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Good second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to soft, 6/1) 8 days ago, just failing. High on the shortlist off the same mark here.

Form: 714422

(9)

East Street Revue^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Last of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, soft, 10/1) 29 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark, but a revival is needed.

Form: 6838-78

Forecasts

Ghathanfar (5/4), Captain Vallo (6/1), Lovely Mana (7/1), The Armed Man (10/1), Huddle Up (11/1), Quest For Fun (16/1), Wentworth Falls (18/1), Spartan Fighter (18/1), Robasta (20/1), Badri (22/1), Politics (28/1), East Street Revue (50/1)

The vote goes to LOVELY MANA, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when just touched off at Windsor last week and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Huddle Up is likely to come good for his new connections sooner rather than later and is next on the list ahead of Spartan Fighter, who returns to turf on a potentially favourable mark.
