Sugar Baby¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: P D Niven| OR: 60| D

4/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Newcastle in January. Better than result when fifth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 18 days ago, left poorly placed from poor draw. Not taken lightly.

Form: 522-185

Where's Diana¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 60| D

12/1

Largely disappointing this season, another poor effort when last of 13 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 14 days ago. Well treated on juvenile form but can't have much confidence in her currently.

Form: 80-4780

Hot Scoop^p,t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: S England| OR: 54| BF

10/3

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Another respectable third of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Possibilities with top claimer taking over in saddle.

Form: 8-35953

Elzaal¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 51| BF| CD

11/4

Finally off mark over C&D here in May and ran respectably on back of rise in weights when sixth of 16 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Should give another good account

She's A Deva³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 50

7/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Patchy profile this term, seventeenth of 20 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Probably needs more.

Form: 56-5730

Excessable^p,t³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48| D

9/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Only tenth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 33 days ago and fair to say he looks regressive nowadays.

Form: 080500

Marwari^p,t²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 46

11/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. 12/1, best effort this season when second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 24 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Place claims from same mark.

Form: 0-00952

Babyduke^b²¹

Forecasts

Elzaal (11/4), Hot Scoop (10/3), Sugar Baby (4/1), Quanah (9/2), Marwari (11/2), She's A Deva (7/1), Excessable (9/1), Where's Diana (12/1), Babyduke (100/1)

A competitive race for the grade, with ELZAAL taken to notch a second career win after his recent C&D success. Quanah has been in good form this year and may prove the biggest danger, with Sugar Baby, Hot Scoop and Marwari also considered.
