Go Sing¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 71

22/1

Down the field on Hong Kong debut in May 2021 but he's offered something to work on both starts for new yard this summer, runner-up in an 11-runner Haydock maiden (7f) 11 days ago. Fancied to give another good account now handicapping.

Form: 0-52

Proud Archi^p¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 70| CD

11/1

5-time C&D winner who stepped up on opening exploits this term and defied market weakness in the process to resume winning ways here in June. Respectable fourth behind re-opposing Sir Maxi (1lb better off with that rival here) 2 weeks ago. Should go well again.

Form: 44-6414

Eldelbar³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: G A Harker| OR: 68| BF| D

28/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 7 in claimer (5/2) at Redcar (7f, good) 39 days ago. More on his plate back in a handicap.

Tashgheel⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68

14/1

Ended time with Dermot Weld with success in a Listowel maiden (6.3f, soft) last June. Efforts patchy for present yard and he'll need to build on his latest Musselburgh fourth over this sort of trip if he's to figure.

Form: 407-074

Safran^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66| D

13/2

Unreliable type who remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Well supported down in grade, best not judged too harshly on latest Catterick effort having seemingly taken a false step under 2f out. Visor again the headgear of choice.

Emily Post^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 70| BF| D

8/1

Confirmed previous promise and showed improved form to boot when off the mark at Carlisle (6.9f) seeing off re-opposing Bungley in June. Did too much on front end when sixth at Doncaster (7f) since and she's worth another chance on balance.

Form: 42-2416

(9)

Truth In Jest¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63

7/1

Dual 6f winner last season who arrives having ran well when ¾-length third of 7 to Sir Maxi in a C&D handicap 2 weeks ago. 2 lb better off with that rival here and no reason why he won't be in the mix again.

Form: 367343

Bungley¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

13/2

Musselburgh handicap winner (1m) last summer who hit the frame on each of her first 3 starts this campaign at around 7f. Weak in betting, proved to be disappointing at Doncaster (1m) 3 weeks ago but is at least now operating from last winning mark.

Form: 46-2237

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 40p in the pound

Forecasts

Sir Maxi (6/4), Bungley (13/2), Safran (13/2), Truth In Jest (7/1), Emily Post (8/1), Proud Archi (11/1), Tashgheel (14/1), Go Sing (22/1), Eldelbar (28/1), Esticky End (40/1)

EMILY POST looked better the further she went when opening her account at Carlisle (6.9f) on her penultimate start and, having done too much on the front end at Doncaster since, she could well bounce back here ridden with a little more restraint. Recent C&D winner Sir Maxi should be coming home well again and is feared, along with Truth In Jest and handicap-debutant Go Sing.
