Demi Sang²³

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Jack Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 109| BF| CD

6/1

Scored twice for Sara Ender through the winter and made a positive start (despite a poor tactical position) when third of 5 over C&D earlier in the month. Claims if they go an end-to-end gallop.

Form: 12154-3

Golden Town³⁰⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: Charlotte Jones⁽³⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 105| CD

5/1

C&D winner who struggled last term and has been off for 10 months. Handicapper continues to relent and he represents a trainer/jockey combination that ran riot at the last meeting here.

Tommydan^p1⁹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 103

12/1

Easily best of three runs for his current yard when second of 13 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Carlisle (17f) 96 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 194982-

Oakmont²³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: William Shanahan⁽⁷⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 97| CD

11/2

Belatedly off the mark in a C&D selling handicap over a year ago and wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 5 to a stablemate over C&D last time. Not one to write off.

Form: 7/1553-4

Malina Ocarina²³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: K Brogan| T: G Hanmer| OR: 95

7/1

Modest hurdler who arrives on the back of a creditable second (returning from an absence) over C&D 23 days ago, albeit no match for the winner that day. Should be thereabouts.

Form: 63/F41-2

A Mere Bagatelle¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: B S Hughes| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 94| BF

8/1

Stepped up on any of her efforts in Ireland when returning from 7 months off to finish runner-up at Perth last month. Not quite in the same form behind classy winner there next time, but remains of interest.

Form: 7700-23

Redwood Queen²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: D A Jacob| T: N C Kelly| OR: 92

22/1

Continues to show little, including in a handicap at Hexham 20 days ago.

Form: 90008-9

Kilfinan Bay⁴²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs J Stephen| OR: 90

11/1

Runner-up in a novice here in 2020 and wasn't discredited when fourth in a handicap at Perth when last seen. That was 14 months ago, though.

Form: 972684/

Calliope^b¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 81| C| D

9/2

Hasn't tasted success since striking here last August but she's dropped a long way in the weights and this slight step back up in trip should help, so no forlorn hope.

Form: 478-457

Burnage Boy^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 80

10/1

Remains winless and doesn't make much appeal returning to this sphere after a poor run on the Flat.

Forecasts

Calliope (9/2), Golden Town (5/1), Oakmont (11/2), Demi Sang (6/1), Malina Ocarina (7/1), A Mere Bagatelle (8/1), Burnage Boy (10/1), Kilfinan Bay (11/1), Tommydan (12/1), Kayfast Warrior (12/1), Arij (16/1), Redwood Queen (22/1)

Although he had a quiet campaign last year, GOLDEN TOWN might be worth chancing from a much-reduced mark on return from a 10-month absence for a trainer/rider who are always a formidable proposition at this track. A Mere Bagatelle is worth considering on the back of a couple of placed efforts at Perth, while Demi Sang can get involved in a well-run race.
