Dandy's Angel⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 55| D

17/2

Won 10-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 4/1) 9 days ago, missing break. 4 lb rise fair and while her strike rate is hardly compelling (2-35), she is one of the more appealing propositions in this line-up.

Calcutta Dream²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55| CD

10/3

C&D winner in May. 11/1, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs considering reunited with Joanna Mason and returned to this surface.

Form: 350-176

Crazy Maisie¹¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 58WS

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Redcar (14f, good to soft) when last seen 112 days ago. Since undergone a wind op and place possibilities back down in trip here.

Form: 54656

Top Attraction^v¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Phil Dennis| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 46| C

17/2

Temperamental sort. Course winner. 4/1, seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to firm) 12 days ago, pulling hard. On a lowly mark and will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 77-0564

Turbulent Power¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

12/1

22/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, slowly away. Now 0-12, but was third of nine over C&D on penultimate start and a reproduction of that effort would give her an each-way chance.

Form: 309837

Robin Goodfellow¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 45

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, soft) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes tapeta debut and needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Calcutta Dream (10/3), Crazy Maisie (7/2), Daaris (11/2), Cosa Sara (7/1), Top Attraction (17/2), Dandy's Angel (17/2), El Jad (12/1), Turbulent Power (12/1), Robin Goodfellow (18/1), Mr Gambino (33/1), Balqaa (40/1)

CALCUTTA DREAM has failed to fire on turf the last twice, but he improved when landing a C&D handicap under Joanna Mason on his sole previous visit here in May and it's entirely possible that the return to this course will have a positive effect. Dandy's Angel is the clear main danger on the back of her recent Beverley success, for which a 4 lb rise looks manageable, while Turbulent Power could be the one for those seeking an each-way value alternative.
