Divine Connection^b¹⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 56| BF| D

18/1

Modest mare. Latest win at Pontefract in April. 7/2, seventh of 10 in claimer at Catterick (7f, good to firm). Off 165 days and she faces no easy task at the weights here.

Bashful^v1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 67

11/10

Fair gelding. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Ayr (8f, heavy) 26 days ago, conceding first run. Obvious chance to go one better eased in class here with a first-time visor enlisted.

Daany^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁷⁾| T: A West| OR: 45| D

50/1

Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, last of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 19 days ago and he has a mountain to climb on these terms.

Form: 324090

Distinction^v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Mackie| OR: 53

15/2

Modest gelding. One win from 33 Flat runs. 7/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Meets several of these on significantly worse terms than if this were a handicap.

Cotai Class⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 63

6/1

Fair gelding. First run since leaving Phillip Makin when below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, soft, 5/1) 8 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he will be in with an each-way shout if his stamina holds out.

Form: 305925

Freddy Robinson¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 62

5/2

Fair gelding. Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 11/2) 14 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem and he has to enter calculations now eased in grade.

Form: 6-56605

Ruby Port^t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53

33/1

6/1 and fitted with a first-time tongue strap on for 1st time (retained) when fourth of 6 in seller at this course (10f, soft) 8 days ago. Back down in trip and she would probably prefer faster ground.

Forecasts

Bashful (11/10), Freddy Robinson (5/2), Gordonstoun (7/2), Cotai Class (6/1), Distinction (15/2), Divine Connection (18/1), Ruby Port (33/1), Daany (50/1)

This is probably best left to BASHFUL, who is just about the pick at the weights and would've given the winner plenty to think about had he got the breaks when second in a handicap at Ayr last month. He's clearly effective on an easy surface and the addition of more severe headgear may help. The hat-trick seeking Gordonstoun should give it a good shot but he certainly has work to do on these terms and Bashful may have more to fear from 3-y-o maidens Freddy Robinson and Cotai Class.
