(1)

Monsieur Co¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish

40/1

Once-raced gelding on Flat. Modest winner at 17f in chases. Sixth of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Hexham (20.1f, good) 19 days ago, going in snatches. Significantly down in trip.

Form: 9/

(7)

Undecided¹⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Shane Gray| T: D W Whillans

50/1

Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Ninth of 10 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 107 days ago. Off 107 days. Unlikely to feature.

Starlyte⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt

33/1

Twice-raced mare on Flat. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Seventh of 11 in maiden (66/1) at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 6 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Firmly up against it.

Form: 77

(8)

Ben Doon⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: J S Goldie

66/1

Twice-raced colt. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Ayr (8f, good to soft, 125/1) 6 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for.

Form: 79

(6)

King Of Ice^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| BF

8/13

Promising sort. 9/4, respectable fourth of 10 in maiden at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 27 days ago, not knocked about. That form has a strong look to it and cheekpieces could bring on some improvement. Leading claims.

Form: 662-4

(5)

Wait To Excel²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Tate| OR: 82

11/8

Promising type. 33/1, fourth of 12 in maiden at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 28 days ago. Down in trip. Open to improvement.

Form: 924

(2)

Zephlyn²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: Ewan Whillans

66/1

Once-raced gelding. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at Catterick (12.1f, good, 100/1) on debut 20 days ago, very slowly away. Down in trip.

Form: 0

(9)

Birdie Putt⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston

14/1

Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 6 in minor event (25/1) at Beverley (9.9f, good) 52 days ago. Needs to markedly up her game.

Form: 44

(3)

Kitty Pi

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: K Scott

50/1

Danon Ballade filly. Dam no form. Doesn't make much appeal on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

King Of Ice (8/13), Wait To Excel (11/8), Birdie Putt (14/1), Starlyte (33/1), Monsieur Co (40/1), Undecided (50/1), Kitty Pi (50/1), Ben Doon (66/1), Zephlyn (66/1)

This is likely to develop into a match between KING OF ICE and Wait To Excel, with the first-named taken to prevail with more to come in first-time cheekpieces. The latter should benefit from the drop back in trip, so it should be an interesting duel.
