Francisco Bay³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 62

6/1

Nowhere near best this season and did plenty wrong when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good, 7/1) 36 days ago, very slowly away and pulling hard. Significantly up in trip. Needs to rediscover old form.

Form: 00-4036

(2)

Jack Yeats^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: W Coltherd| OR: 60

7/1

Creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Little show on Flat last year and needs to recapture form in this sphere.

Form: 874880-

I'm To Blame⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58

7/2

One-time fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. No show in a trio of maidens/minor event around 1m in May. Significantly up in trip but opening looks harsh on Flat achievements.

Form: 476

Clan Jock⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55| BF| C

15/8

Scored over 11f here in June. Continued in form when second of 6 in handicap at this course (11.1f, firm, 9/4) 6 days ago, uanble to reel in well ridden winner. Must go well again.

Form: 8-42132

(7)

Prophesise^b,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

3/1

Improved when second of 9 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Extra furlong looks in his favour and he holds leading claims.

Form: 55-5542

(6)

Oscar Doodle¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: A Mullen| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

33/1

No show in varied events and was well beaten in a selling handicap last time. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 60-7000

Forecasts

Clan Jock (15/8), Prophesise (3/1), I'm To Blame (7/2), Francisco Bay (6/1), Jack Yeats (7/1), Wildmountainthyme (14/1), Oscar Doodle (33/1)

Only PROPHESISE and Clan Jock look of any real interest in this handicap, with slight preference for Tim Easterby's less-exposed three-year-old. Clan Jock has been running well recently and should continute in form, with Jack Yeats perhaps most interesting of the remainder returned to the level.
