Chief Craftsman^b¹⁷

9/2

One win from 22 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (10f, good to firm, 11/1) 17 days ago, not clear run. On a workable mark if building on that.

Form: 37-5044

Monsieur Co^p,t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Eireann Cagney⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 57| C

33/1

Fair chase winner. Well held in 3 Flat starts but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance of success. Jockey rode a winner at Beverley on Tuesday.

Form: 9/76

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 54| C| D

8/1

Three wins earlier in year, including over 2m here, and has remained in form since. Claims if none the worse for a recent fall over hurdles.

Percy Prosecco^b,t1¹¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 52

9/1

Untrustworthy individual but he was a good 1¼ lengths second of 8 to the reopposing The Resdev Way in handicap at Wolverhampton (12f, 9/2) when last seen in April. First-time tongue strap added to regular blinkers.

Form: 4044-72

Point Of Honour¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Pippa Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 45

9/1

One win from 33 Flat runs. Good third of 13 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 16 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Considered.

Form: 59639-3

Graces Quest (10/3), Cuban Cigar (7/2), Taxmeifyoucan (4/1), Chief Craftsman (9/2), The Resdev Way (8/1), Point Of Honour (9/1), Percy Prosecco (9/1), Monsieur Co (33/1)

GRACES QUEST might be up to landing the third win of a productive campaign. Chief Craftsman took a step back in the right direction at Beverley last time and is well treated if able to build on that, while Point of Honour has a poor strike-rate but did shape quite nicely on his recent Catterick reappearance.
