Strawman⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 79| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 15/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good) 6 days ago, effort over 1f out and keeping on. Not out of things from this sort of mark on balance.

Form: 33-3053

Casilli¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78| CD

10/3

5-time course winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 16/1) 16 days ago, not well placed to land a telling blow. Has fallen back down to last winning mark and she's always worthy of a second look at this venue.

Form: 471-057

Frankendael^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 76| CD

14/1

C&D winner. 7/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Ripon (12f, good to firm) 26 days ago, hampered slightly under 2f out and fading. Remains early days with him but he may just need some leniency from the assessor.

Form: 3137-64

Bobby's Blessing¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 76| C

9/2

Overcame inexperience to make winning debut over extended 7f here last month and matched that form without being seen to best effect when third at Lingfield (7.6f) 15 days ago, unable to open up until late on. Could yet do better now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 13

Freak Out^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 68| D

9/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, not clear run under 2f out. Been given a definite chance by the assessor if he can build on that now.

Form: 3-45653

Shine On Brendan¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: C Lee| T: J S Goldie| OR: 66

9/1

17/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, headed only late on. Should give another good account for all this looks a deeper affair.

Forecasts

Casilli (10/3), Bashful (7/2), Westernesse (4/1), Strawman (9/2), Bobby's Blessing (9/2), Freak Out (9/1), Shine On Brendan (9/1), Frankendael (14/1)

WESTERNESSE was caught further back than ideal following a rare tardy start at York 11 days ago but confirmed himself still in top form when staying on to take third close home. Still unexposed at this sort of trip, he could be the answer here from a handy draw. The thriving Bashful may emerge as the chief threat in his hat-trick bid, with Freak Out, very much an eye-catcher here latest, and Bobby's Blessing others to consider.
