11/2

Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 9 in minor event (2/1) at Ripon (6f, good) 14 days ago. Could grab the rail from stall 10, so worth taking a chance on.

Tantastic²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 49| D

9/1

Modest gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago, albeit not seen to best effect. Probably remains in form but stall 1 isn't ideal.

Forecasts

Bonito Cavalo (7/4), Golden Prosperity (9/2), Gullane One (11/2), Birdie Bowers (13/2), Tantastic (9/1), Stroxx (11/1), Koropick (20/1), Embla (22/1), Henery Hawk (25/1), Nodsasgoodasawink (25/1), Iconicdaay (40/1)

GULLANE ONE went off too hard at Ripon last time but should have more in his favour from a high draw, so he may well prove difficult to peg back. Bonito Cavalo had an excuse last time and had been in good form previously, so he's another one to consider. Golden Prosperity is a likely player, too.
