Persuasion¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 89

7/2

Useful handicapper at his best but he's yet to hit that form for his current yard, only fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 15 days ago. Slipping in the weights so can't be discounted though.

Form: 35-0930

Origintrail³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 85| BF| D

9/4

Bagged Ripon maiden and Chester handicap in May before good second of 4 in 6f handicap at Newmarket 30 days ago when not having run of race. Needs considering off an unchanged mark.

Form: 7-2112

Equiano Springs¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: T P Queally| T: T P Tate| OR: 78| D

14/1

Fared best of those held up when fifth of 20 in handicap at York (6f) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt eased 1 lb.

Form: 6183-45

Bay Breeze¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

6/1

Dual 6f scorer at Ripon this term who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 in handicap at Catterick (6f) 11 days ago given he didn't handle the bend too well. Shortlisted.

Forecasts

Corinthia Knight (13/8), Origintrail (9/4), Persuasion (7/2), Bay Breeze (6/1), Gumdrop (10/1), Equiano Springs (14/1)

None of these can be ruled out but CORINTHIA KNIGHT arrives in excellent nick and this course specialist is taken to follow up his win in this contest 12 months ago. Newmarket second Origintrail is less exposed and feared most with both Equiano Springs and Bay Breeze well in the mix too in a competitive sprint.
