CNG Switch Handicap (Div 2)

Off time: 17:01 | Winning time: 1m 13.36s

East Street Revue^p¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

14/1

50/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Every chance if back to best, but it may simply be a case that he's not as good as he once was.

Form: 838-789

Absolute Dream¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 63| D

11/4

8/1, won 10-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb rise manageable and he's one of the likelier winners.

Form: 144-601

(8)

Athollblair Boy^p1¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Sophie Clements⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59| C| D

7/2

Course winner. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 13/2) 18 days ago, slowly away. Down another 2 lb and could be a factor if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect.

Crypto Quest¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Much better effort when runner-up over this C&D on penultimate start, form which gives him an each-way chance in this contest.

Form: 02-629

(7)

Marselan¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: P T Midgley| OR: 58

17/2

Seventh of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 18 days ago. Now 4 lb lower than when second in a big-field at Thirsk three starts back, so he's impossible to discount in this open-looking race.

Form: 5-70207

Company Minx²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 56| BF| D

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, nearest finish. Place possibilities, but remains vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 457-944

(2)

Peachey Carnehan^v¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 54| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in May. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 12/1) 18 days ago. Definite chance if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 437416

Lucky Beggar⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 45| D

25/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 100/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm) 6 days ago. Now at the veteran stage and others make more appeal on this occasion.

Form: 7-86300

Forecasts

Absolute Dream (11/4), Athollblair Boy (7/2), Crypto Quest (5/1), Peachey Carnehan (11/2), Company Minx (6/1), Marselan (17/2), East Street Revue (14/1), Mehmo (20/1), Lucky Beggar (25/1)

It's easy enough to make cases both for and against the majority of these. MARSELAN has dipped to an attractive mark and is worth chancing in the hope that he is able to reproduce something akin to his good second at Thirsk in May. Athollblair Boy will be a threat if responding well to the new headgear, while recent Redcar scorer Absolute Dream and Peachey Carnehan are others to consider.
