5/2

Third win of a productive first half of 2023 when seeing off 7 rivals in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 10 days ago. Should go well dropped into a claimer.

Eagle Eyed Freddie^p,t⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

11/4

Has won twice around 1m on tapeta this year. Freshened up since a lesser run at Chelmsford (1m) 8 weeks ago. Good chance at weights but shorter trip asks a different question.

How Bizarre¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: L Bailey| OR: 52| D

2/1

Had a good spell this spring, snapping a losing run at Musselburgh (1m) in May. 4/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Unlikely to be far away.

Rum Runner⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: S A Gray| T: G A Harker| OR: 47| D

4/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2020. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 25/1) 4 days ago, merely closing up late. Has a bit to find on these terms.

Form: 76-8869

Forecasts

How Bizarre (2/1), Written Broadcast (5/2), Eagle Eyed Freddie (11/4), Rum Runner (4/1)

There's not much to separate these, the fact WRITTEN BROADCAST has done this year's winning over 7f tipping things in his favour over Eagle Eyed Freddie and How Bizarre who have gained their recent victories over 1m.
