17/2

12/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Has fallen to a dangerous mark, so can't be ruled out.

Ramon Di Loria¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁷⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 71| D

4/1

Suited by the step back up to 7f when landing 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 5/2) 11 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair and can go well again.

Form: 4-59341

6/1

Dual C&D winner who posted another good effort when second in 10-runner event here (good) 45 days ago. Seems sure to go well again.

Zig Zag Zyggy^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: T P O'Shea| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66| CD

16/1

4-time course winner who shaped as if better for the run on first start since leaving Andrew Hughes when fifth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at this course (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Potentially well treated if his new yard can spark him back to life.

Form: 00000-5

Kitaab²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who took a small step forward when third of 5 on handicap debut at Chester (7.6f, good) 21 days ago, despite being slow away. Back down in trip.

Forecasts

Only Spoofing (18/5), Ramon Di Loria (4/1), Kitaab (4/1), Tipperary Tiger (5/1), Kats Bob (6/1), Surprise Picture (17/2), Cold Stare (14/1), Sound Reason (16/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (16/1), Dave Dexter (25/1)

RAMON DI LORIA scored for the first time in this country at Musselburgh 11 days ago and remains on a good mark on the pick of his form in Ireland, so the follow up looks on the cards. Kats Bob goes well at this track and must enter the reckoning, along with Tipperary Tiger, who drops back down in grade.
