Yaaser¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 64| BF| CD

5/2

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Ayr in May. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (4/7) at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Possibly a shade too high in the weights for now.

Sparkle In His Eye²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 60| D

16/1

Three wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in March. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 14/1) 23 days ago. 0-7 on turf and others make more appeal.

Ninky Nonk³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67

7/2

Good fourth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good, 12/1) 32 days ago, left poorly placed. Down another 1 lb and he will be a danger to all if able to build on that here.

Form: 49300-4

Fanzone²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 58| BF| CD

20/1

C&D winner in April. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 28 days ago. Back down to last winning mark, but one or two of these look stronger all the same.

Form: 3-41655

Clotherholme^p,h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 57| C| D

7/2

Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 7/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. 2 lb rise fair but more needed if he's to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 8-55311

How Bizarre^v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 54| BF| CD

14/1

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap (15/8) at Hamilton (6f, good) 19 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Visor back on. Shouldn't be far away, but remains vulnerable for win purposes.

Rum Going On^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 60| BF| CD

7/1

C&D winner in April. 13/8, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 10 days ago. Big player off the same mark.

On The River³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 59| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 8/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Has slipped to a workable mark and he's not ruled out.

Form: 76-8064

Bobby Shaftoe^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

20/1

17/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 14 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and though still winless following 13 attempts, he's not without each-way hope.

Forecasts

Yaaser (5/2), Clotherholme (7/2), Ninky Nonk (7/2), Far From A Ruby (13/2), Rum Going On (7/1), On The River (10/1), How Bizarre (14/1), Sparkle In His Eye (16/1), Bobby Shaftoe (20/1), Fanzone (20/1)

RUM GOING ON has held his form well since striking over C&D in April, again performing with plenty of credit when a close third at Redcar recently. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive heat, with Ninky Nonk, who shaped well on his reappearance at Carlisle, next on the list. On The River makes each-way appeal, a remark which also applies to Far From A Ruby, but hat-trick seeker Clotherholme needs another personal best and Yaaser may now be in the handicapper's grip.
