(1)

Macho Pride¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| BF| D

7/2

Not scored for some time but has run creditably the last twice, latest when second of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Races off same mark and likely to be in the mix again.

Form: 468722

Hurstwood¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Niven| OR: 55| CD

5/1

C&D winner. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 11/1) last month and has fallen to a workable mark. Merits consideration.

Form: 9570-05

(3)

Round The Island¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 55| CD

10/1

Back from 6 months off when good sixth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Claims if building on that.

Form: 40430-6

(4)

Giselles Izzy⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 54| BF| D

10/3

Only narrowly failed to get back on scoreboard in 8-runner handicap (2/1) at Ayr (6f, good) last week and can race off same mark here. Shortlist material.

Form: 532732

Ginato^b⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 51| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 58 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 46696-7

(2)

Brides Bay^b⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: S England| OR: 51

20/1

Tenth of 13 in handicap (80/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 7 days ago, going off too hard. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 640-000

(6)

Flavius Titus^b⁴⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: D Brooke| OR: 50| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Last of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy, 28/1) 40 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 95138-0

(9)

Quercus^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: P Hanagan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 50| D

18/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Eighteenth of 20 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 33/1) 12 days ago. Claims on best form.

Form: 22347-0

(5)

Dreamcasing^b1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 48

18/1

Last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 15/2) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 2636-79

(7)

Gullane One^p,t¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form twelfth of 20 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago. Others more appealing.

Form: 758-030

(11)

Point Of Woods¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 47| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Last of 20 in handicap (28/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 12 days ago. Readily opposed.

Form: 3880-00

Forecasts

Giselles Izzy (10/3), Macho Pride (7/2), Hurstwood (5/1), Gullane One (11/2), Round The Island (10/1), Ginato (16/1), Flavius Titus (16/1), Quercus (18/1), Dreamcasing (18/1), Point Of Woods (18/1), Brides Bay (20/1)

HURSTWOOD has dropped to a handy mark and signalled a return to form at Catterick last time. He gets the nod in the finale. Giselles Izzy was only grabbed on the line at Ayr last week and is much respected, whilst Macho Pride can also make his presence felt.
