16/1
Latest win at Southwell in March. 7/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, ridden closer to the pace than the first 3. Others more persuasive.

9/1
7/2, won 10-runner handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 37 days ago, edging ahead inside final 1f. Raised 3 lb and rates a sound each-way player if taking to an artificial surface.

16/5
Ran well after 7 months off when second of 9 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 47 days ago, deserving credit for emerging best of those to have raced close to the strong pace. Merits consideration.

22/1
Course winner. 13/2, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 53 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip and others look stronger.

40/1
Unreliable individual. Refused to race in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 20/1). Off 9 months. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Seb Spencer. Not a reliable betting proposition.

2/1
4/6, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner minor event at Brighton (9.9f, firm) 12 days ago, leading over 1f out. Expected to be bang there if lining up (Engaged 8.45 Beverley Tuesday).

25/1
Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ran well down in grade after 11 weeks off when second of 8 in minor event (16/5) at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Off a further 3 months and certainly not dismissed.

Ran to a similar level as on return when fourth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 40 days ago, carrying head bit high. Mark eases a touch and could well be in the mix.

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm, 12/1) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Hood on 1st time. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ran best race when second of 9 in handicap at Ayr (8f, firm) 8 days ago, running on late. Back up in trip. Makes all-weather debut and not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Sun Festival (2/1), Marcello Si (16/5), Braes Of Doune (13/2), Jamil (9/1), Precedent (11/1), Spirit Of Ash (16/1), Habanero Star (16/1), The Grey Bandit (20/1), International Law (22/1), Aljardaa (22/1), Quoteline Direct (25/1), Big Muddy (40/1)

Verdict

A tricky opener to solve but BRAES OF DOUNE is selected to go one better than at Ayr last week having taken his time to hit top stride. This step back up in trip looks a wise move, and he can get the better of Marcello Si, who made an encouraging return when runner-up over C&D last month. Sun Festival is declared at Beverley on Tuesday and Joseph Parr's 5-y-o would be one to look out for if taking his chance.
