Northcliff¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80

1/1

Still a maiden after 10 starts but he has some fairly useful form. Hampered and stumbled start so it's easy to ignore his latest down-the-field finish in a 5f York handicap. Sure to be bang there back up at 6f.

Form: 443-630

(3)

Pete The Brief¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby

33/1

Twice-raced gelding. Modest fourth of 10 in novice at this course (7f, good, 100/1) 18 days ago, never nearer.

Form: 74

(2)

Canaria Queen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby

40/1

Pastoral Pursuits filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Canaria Prince. Dam 5f-6f winner. Best watched on debut unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Elusive Angel³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| BF

5/4

Promising sort. 2/1, second of 7 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 30 days ago. Open to progress and leading claims.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Northcliff (1/1), Elusive Angel (5/4), Talha (3/1), Johnny James (8/1), Little Man (20/1), Pete The Brief (33/1), Canaria Queen (40/1), Jailhouse Rock (50/1), Ladylingmoor (80/1), Wowshesomthingelse (100/1)

The return to 6f should suit NORTHCLIFF and perhaps this can be the day he finally gets his head in front. There was a lot to like about Elusive Angel's Kempton debut and she's second choice ahead of Talha in a race where it's hard to make a case for many.
