Arnold¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 56| D

8/1

Unreliable sort. 20/1, unable to get into race after very slow break when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Possibilities from this mark if on a going day.

Form: 2372-50

Hot Scoop^p,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: S England| OR: 55

2/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 15/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, step back in right direction when fifth of 16 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, faring best of those on far side. Shortlist material.

Form: 78-3595

The Gloaming¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 54| D

7/1

Was off only 2 days when below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, unable to sustain effort. In good heart before that and should be closer to form this time.

Form: 533558

Mokaman⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oliver Stammers⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53| D

5/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in April. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 518504

Lord Of The Glen¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 49| D

6/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Shaped better than result when sixth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Needs a couple of these to falter to defy this mark.

Form: 192-716

Dandy's Diva³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Smith| OR: 55

22/1

Hasn't looked to have the pace required for 5f on both starts over this trip, including when 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (good) 33 days ago. Up against it.

Form: 28-0665

Earn Your Stripes^p1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: R M Smith| OR: 46

13/2

Blinkered for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Little impact this season and others are more persuasive.

Form: 50-0940

Summer Heights^b1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

33/1

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 18/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago, doing too much too soon. Blinkered for 1st time.

Form: 788086

Claret Club³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 46

12/1

Again failed to see race out when fourth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 33 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 5-60584

Forecasts

Hot Scoop (2/1), Nacho (7/2), Gustav Graves (4/1), Mokaman (5/1), Lord Of The Glen (6/1), Earn Your Stripes (13/2), The Gloaming (7/1), Arnold (8/1), Claret Club (12/1), Dandy's Diva (22/1), Summer Heights (33/1)

HOT SCOOP is on a good mark and stepped back in the right direction at Ripon last week, so is fancied to break his long losing run here. Mokaman and The Gloaming are dangers.
