Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: B A Curtis| T: W J Knight| OR: 80| BF| C

5/2

Course winner. Latest win here in May. 11/10, again ran creditably when second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 20 days ago, having to pick way through. Leading player again.

Form: 45-2122

Mango Boy²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 78| D

3/1

1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft, 2/5) 24 days ago, though did look bit tricky again. Has enough ability to progress further if racing more efficiently.

Form: 4325-41

Amaysmont⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77| D

18/1

Ended last season in a lull and offered little when last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 11/1) 62 days ago. Something to find on form.

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 76| C

25/1

Won here and Redcar last season but hasn't made much of an impact yet this term. Well treated if able to spark a revival but probaby best watched at present.

Form: 984-359

Gainsbourg¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 74| BF| D

11/1

Creditable 3 lengths fourth of 13 to Clear Angel in handicap (10/3) at Wetherby (8f, good) 17 days ago. Form of penultimate outing has also worked out well and he's considered.

Form: 615-354

(8)

Bashful²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 74

33/1

Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 22 days ago on first run since leaving Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. That run was promising but the step down in trip here isn't an obvious plus.

Form: 32351-2

Holy Endeavour⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Latest win (dead-heat) at Beverley in April. Struggled up in grade when last of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 10/1) 59 days ago. Has work to do on these term.

Form: 18/4317

Clear Angel^h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: S Corbett| OR: 72| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (8/1) at Wetherby (8f, good) 17 days ago, readily. Still unexposed over this trip and he may not have finished improving yet,

Form: 142U21

Jewel Maker¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| CD

20/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable 4½ lengths sixth of 13 to Clear Angel in handicap (28/1) at Wetherby (8f, good) 17 days ago. Generally needs races to drop right for him and others are preferred.

Form: 324-466

(12)

Chief's Will^p⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Watson| OR: 79

9/1

Lightly-raced winner. Good fifth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 43 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly.

Form: 281-25

(6)

Fiorina¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: G Boughey| OR: 76

16/1

Claims on the form of narrow second at Kempton on return this year but has gone backwards in a pair of starts since and needs to recapture her best to stand a chance here.

Form: 764-266

(3)

Billyb¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 73| D

16/1

Winner at Haydock in May. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 8/1) 18 days. Probably needs bit more respite from the assessor after winning fairly weak race.

Form: 95-7416

Forecasts

Dual Identity (5/2), Mango Boy (3/1), Clear Angel (11/2), Chief's Will (9/1), Plastic Paddy (10/1), Gainsbourg (11/1), Billyb (16/1), Fiorina (16/1), Amaysmont (18/1), Jewel Maker (20/1), Danielsflyer (25/1), Bashful (33/1), Holy Endeavour (33/1)

DUAL IDENTITY has been in fine form this term and can defy top weight to notch his second success of the year. Clear Angel is another on the upgrade, with Gainsbourg, Mango Boy and Chief's Will also hold claims in an intriguing event.
