9/4

Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good), unable to sustain effort. Off 8 months but resumes on a 2 lb lower mark and will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.

3/1

7/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Looks capable of winning a race on turf judged on that evidence and he's not ruled out.

Form: 228-673

Blame The Farrier⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 65

50/1

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 6 in minor event at Wetherby (7f, good to soft, 80/1) 50 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed now pitched into a handicap.

Form: 886

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: G Tutty| OR: 64| CD

10/3

4/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Now 5 lb lower than for her C&D success last summer and she's one to consider.

Form: 50-8864

Mi Capricho^t1⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 62| D

12/1

Last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm, 9/2) 5 days ago, having run of race. Tongue strap on 1st time and will need to raise his game in order to resume winning ways in this contest.

Form: 5407-06

Tangled^p⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 62| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and while he's capable of going well off this mark, others look stronger.

Form: 98-5967

(3)

Royal Prospect^t²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 56| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 20 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and, now 1 lb below last winning mark, he needs considering at a course that he clearly likes (form figures here read 4319114).

Forecasts

Albegrey (9/4), Cloch Nua (3/1), Shahnaz (10/3), Floral Splendour (7/2), Royal Prospect (11/2), Tangled (8/1), Going Underground (8/1), Willing To Please (10/1), Mi Capricho (12/1), Esticky End (12/1), Ciotog (14/1), Blame The Farrier (50/1)

The vote goes to ROYAL PROSPECT, who is 3-7 at this track and should be spot-on following an encouraging reappearance spin at Redcar at the end of last month. Like the selection, Shahnaz was successful over this C&D off a higher mark in 2022 and shaped as though coming back to the boil at Hamilton recently. She is feared most ahead of Floral Splendour, who returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Beverley, and Albegrey.
