True Mason^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 77| D

10/3

Not straightforward but has won 2 of 3 starts since joining this yard, improving on recent efforts to land 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, keeping on well. More required from 8 lb higher but can't be discounted.

Churchill Bay^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

8/1

Returned after 13-month absence with a creditable second of 6 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can give another good account if not finding race coming too soon.

Form: 0/4408-2

Newyorkstateofmind^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 75| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021 and has been more miss than hit recently, only last of 5 in handicap (6/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces need to spark revival.

Palifico⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: P Morris| OR: 72

66/1

Runner-up spot on all 4 starts for Jane Chapple-Hyam earlier this year but has failed to beat rival in a pair of outings for this yard and can't be fancied on that evidence.

11/4

Won here (7f) for Chris Dwyer in January but seemingly going though the motions for this yard, only eighth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 41 days ago.

Thegreatestshowman^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 70| C| D

16/1

Won over 5f here last term but merely ticking over at present, only fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/1) 7 days ago. LOwer in the weights again but needs a couple of these to falter.

Rebel Redemption¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 69| CD

12/1

C&D winner failed to come on for recent return when last of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 15 days ago. Capable from this mark but consistency is not his strong suit.

Kimifive^h1³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69| D

13/2

Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ascot (7f, firm) 35 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving David Bridgwater. Hood on 1st time.

Form: 8-54667

Mashaan⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Lycett| OR: 66| BF

12/1

Creditable second at Lingfield on penultimate outing and did too much too soon sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 45 days ago. Interesting to see whether he remains in form on first run after leaving Alice Haynes.

Under Curfew³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| D

25/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Yet to fully ignite this year, looking bit tricky when fourth of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Chepstow (5.1f, firm) 30 days ago. Back up in trip. Given a chance by the handicapper.

Forecasts

Global Warning (11/4), True Mason (10/3), Newyorkstateofmind (11/2), Kimifive (13/2), Churchill Bay (8/1), Mashaan (12/1), Rebel Redemption (12/1), Thegreatestshowman (16/1), Under Curfew (25/1), Ramiro (40/1), Palifico (66/1)

CHURCHILL BAY still hasn't had much racing but proved he retains ability after a year off the track when second at Newmarket last time, so can get off the mark here providing he doesn't "bounce." True Mason has looked a reformed character for this yard and is a serious player from an 8 lb higher rating, with Under Curfew the fractional pick for third from a much-reduced mark.
