Aconcagua Mountain^v1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: I Jardine| OR: 41

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 23 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes a quick return for new yard here and interesting if market vibes proved positive at this level. Visored.

Form: 97000

Cuppacoco^b¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 47| CD

11/2

C&D winner who turned in best effort of the campaign when runner-up over 6f here 10 days ago. Claims if she can replicate that dropped in trip/class.

Form: 778302

Excessable^p,t⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 5 days ago, no extra final 1f. Losing run is off-putting but not out of things in a wide-open affair.

Form: 003535

Koropick^t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: C J Teague| OR: 47

12/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, not disgraced third of 5 in handicap (18/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form but winless run stretches back 5 years.

Form: 792453

Gala Bella¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: M Appleby| OR: 42

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Has yet to offer much in 4 starts but she's in very good hands so not one to dismiss totally out of hand at this level.

Forecasts

Hard Solution (11/4), Aconcagua Mountain (7/2), Cuppacoco (11/2), Excessable (11/2), Mrs Bagerran (8/1), Stroxx (12/1), Koropick (12/1), Qaaraat (20/1), Gala Bella (25/1), Newgate Angel (33/1), Littlemissattitude (33/1), Pacopash (40/1), By Moonlight (80/1)

HARD SOLUTION has been operating below his best this campaign but he wasn't discredited at Thirsk on Friday and arrives here with his yard in good order, so in a trappy contest (has backed up well quickly in the past), he could be the way to go. Cuppacoco and Koropick are others to consider, whilst market support for Aconcagua Mountain or Gala Bella would also look interesting.
