Makety³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Burke| T: O Sherwood| OR: 102| D

11/1

Former point winner who struck at the second attempt in this sphere at Worcester last season. Has a bit to prove now though after poor efforts on her her last 3 starts.

Form: 321P-63

Blue Collar Glory^h,t²⁹

Got off the mark in a Sedgefield maiden in May and returned to form with a hood refitted when second in 3-runner race there (19.8f) 29 days ago. In the mix if backing it up.

Guidedbythescience⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boanas| OR: 97| D

3/1

Improved form to get off the mark at Fakenham in May and in good form until coming in last of nine in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 79 days ago. Sort to bounce back.

Form: 4-31339

Spot On Soph^t¹⁷⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 89| BF

9/2

Dual 19f chase winner at Catterick last season who held his form well. Returns from 175-day absence back over hurdles and market can prove a good guide.

Form: F12413-

Lone Star^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Dowson| T: P A Kirby| OR: 84

4/1

Has hinted at promise but she proved a disappointment when fifth in 2m4f Worcester handicap last time. Not written off yet.

Form: 53-5655

Fenney Brook⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: R Patrick| T: H D Daly| OR: 80

9/2

Resumed with a win in 21f Ludlow handicap in May. Not disgraced despite finishing last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (24.3f) 80 days ago. Merits serious consideration.

Form: 76-12P7

Brooklyn Belle^t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harriet Tucker⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 76

11/1

Modest maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited when third of 5 in handicap at Stratford (18.7f) 43 days ago. No forlorn hope despite being 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 85/6-453

That's My Dubai¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: C O'Farrell| T: J K Hunter| OR: 66

150/1

Catterick winner for Rebecca Menzies in January 2020, but it's been a while since she last achieved anything of note and is 15 lb 'wrong' at the weights here.

Form: 909-980

Ayr Of Elegance²⁵

T: D J Jeffreys J: Archie Bellamy

Forecasts

Guidedbythescience (3/1), Ayr Of Elegance (7/2), Lone Star (4/1), Fenney Brook (9/2), Spot On Soph (9/2), Blue Collar Glory (15/2), Brooklyn Belle (11/1), Makety (11/1), Golden Robin (16/1), That's My Dubai (150/1)

A very open handicap and it could prove siding with AYR OF ELEGANCE who didn't last home over 3m here last time and can bag her second success of the season. Fenney Brook remains handily weighted and is next on the list ahead of in-form maiden Brooklyn Belle.
