15/2

33/1, last of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Marked drop back in trip needs to spark a revival.

Form: 4/010-40

Little Earl^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60

9/1

Untrustworthy individual. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 10 days ago, not ideally placed from a poor draw.

Form: 076640

Cawthornes Gem^p1,t1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 18/1) 18 days ago, never on terms. Cheekpieces/tongue tie reached for now.

Form: 00-57

Basholo³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49

7/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Widest draw possibly not ideal here.

Form: 7-67633

(4)

Tammany Hall^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: P J McKenna| OR: 48

2/1

Boasts just one win from 28 Flat runs but he comes here having run best race of present campaign when fifth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 12 days ago. Interesting connections pitch him in here from career-low mark and he's worth considering.

Form: 360-005

(8)

Sharrabang¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 47| C| D

7/1

Course winner. 9/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, weakening final 1f. Clearly in good heart at present and return to 6f will hold no fears.

Form: 07-6523

Stormy Pearl^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 54| D

13/2

10/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago, that despite being poorly drawn. Now operating 1 lb below last winning mark and she's worth a second look with Paul Mulrennan back in the plate.

Form: 4667-45

(3)

Made Of Lir^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: S England| OR: 50| D

33/1

Dual winner on AW for Archie Watson who ran best race for present yard from much-reduced mark when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm, 40/1) 13 days ago. Eased further 2 lb ahead of this but she'll need to build on that now.

Forecasts

Tammany Hall (2/1), Basholo (7/2), Variety Island (6/1), Stormy Pearl (13/2), Sharrabang (7/1), Gentle Ellen (15/2), Little Earl (9/1), Shabaaby (10/1), Sydney Bay (20/1), Cawthornes Gem (22/1), Made Of Lir (33/1)

Irish-raider TAMMANY HALL ran his best race of the present campaign when fifth in a big-field Curragh handicap 12 days ago, and from a career-low mark, he could well be up to doubling his career tally. Stormy Pearl ran creditably without being seen to best effect at Ripon recently and is a threat, with Variety Island and Sharrabang completing the shortlist.
