Little Ted^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Hanagan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| BF| D

7/2

Unreliable sort. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, eighth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 25 days ago, not clear run. Others make more appeal.

Form: 909-368

Ice Shadow^b1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: A D Brown| OR: 54

6/1

28/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Should give another good account.

Form: 6-66973

Eltham Palace¹³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: A G Newcombe| OR: 53| D

28/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. 33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f), left poorly placed. Off 134 days. First run for yard after leaving David Simcock. Likely to need the run.

Form: 4163-89

(3)

Storm Asset¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51

9/2

16/1, won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Obvious claims if he turns up in the same form.

Form: 3-08251

Oscar Doodle²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 50| D

4/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 18/1) 21 days ago. Worthy of consideration.

Form: 82-1741

(8)

Gerrots¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 48

20/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 58-0807

(5)

Bold And Loyal^p,t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 46

5/2

Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 4/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm) 6 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. One to consider.

Form: 882922

(7)

Big Dutchie^p⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 45

20/1

12/1, first run since leaving Phillip Makin when ninth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 76 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on. Not ruled out.

Form: 2-54769

Forecasts

Bold And Loyal (5/2), Little Ted (7/2), Oscar Doodle (4/1), Storm Asset (9/2), Ice Shadow (6/1), Gerrots (20/1), Big Dutchie (20/1), Eltham Palace (28/1)

ICE SHADOW ran well on his first go at this trip last time and blinkers might bring a bit more out of him, so he takes marginal preference over Storm Asset. Bold And Loyal also arrives on the back of a good effort, so he's considered despite his long-standing maiden tag.
