Muscika^v⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Mark Winn⁽⁷⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| D

5/1

Stopped the slide when fourth of 6 in 6f handicap at Epsom at the end of last month but wasn't in the same form at York last week, albeit not ideally placed. 7 lb claimer now takes over in the saddle.

Triggered⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| D

15/2

On a workable mark but seems to be going through the motions at present, fourth of 9 in 6f handicap at Newbury last week, keeping on final 1f. Needs to up his game.

Form: 343874

Beltane⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 77| DWS

14/1

Showed improved form when off the mark in 1m novice at Ayr in October. Shaped as if amiss on handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton 6 months later but never landed a blow back sprinting at Hamilton last time. Has work to do following a breathing operation.

Form: 2231-80

Dream Together¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 69| CD

4/1

Stepped up on his comeback run to gain a narrow victory over C&D in April. Well held last 2 starts, though raced on the unfavoured part of the track at Pontefract last time. Could bounce back.

Form: 7-41400

Rainbow Mirage^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: George Rooke| T: M G Rimell| OR: 67| D

9/2

3 wins from 10 runs this year and again ran well when second of 10 in 6f handicap at Newbury (good to firm) 24 days ago, doing best of those held up. Cheekpieces back on. Can give another good account.

Macho Pride²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: B Haslam| OR: 65| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner. Not at his best the last twice but has dropped to a handy mark and needs considering.

Form: 769255

Forecasts

Macho Pride (10/3), Dream Together (4/1), Rainbow Mirage (9/2), Muscika (5/1), Impeller (5/1), Triggered (15/2), Beltane (14/1)

A trappy contest. MACHO PRIDE hasn't been at his best the last twice but is now 10 lb lower than for his win in a division of this last year and could be worth chancing. The consistent Rainbow Mirage is feared most.
