Hey Mr⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: J Garritty| T: P T Midgley| OR: 57

13/8

Left previous form this season behind when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f, good, 4/1) 6 days ago, well on top finish. Remains well treated on old form under a penalty and he can follow up.

Form: 96-7971

Spanish Angel²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 55| BF| D

7/1

Failed to meet expectations when fourth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to firm, 6/4) 20 days ago. However, had been running well previously and can make his presence felt (runner-up here in June).

Dandys Derriere^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 54| D

16/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Never a threat when sixth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 20 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark, but more needed to take advantage as he drops in trip.

Form: 63-6506

Canaria Prince^b¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53| BF

5/1

Ran well when third here (5f) here on penultimate outing, but not in the same form when third of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 10/3) 14 days ago. Can bounce back returned to this venue.

Form: 5-43633

Brunello Breeze^p1³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Elliott| T: T P Tate| OR: 48

16/1

Has been struggling for form this year, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 16/1) 32 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to spark a revival.

Form: 08-9900

See My Baby Jive³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: D W Whillans| OR: 46

18/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs. After 7 months off, always behind when fifth of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Ended last year in decent form, though, if taking a step forward from her return.

Form: 48424-5

The Grey Lass¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 46

6/1

Fared no better than of late when sixth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 22/1) 12 days ago. Has now dropped below her last winning mark, but needs to step up on what she's shown so far this year.

Form: 6-63406

Megatron^p1²⁷⁸

50/1

Attracted support (11/4) but last of 9 on nursery debut at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in September. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell with cheekpieces now applied.

Form: 0079-

Gran Roque^p⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 45

14/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared better than previously for current yard when fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 50/1) 61 days ago. Task is now to build on that.

Form: 500-075

Muatadel^b²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45| D

16/1

Twenty-one runs since last win in 2021. With blinkers reapplied, ran one of season's better races when fourth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm. 40/1) 21 days ago. Needs to be able to back up his last run.

Form: 669874

Congress³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 50

66/1

Below form on turf last 2 starts, seventh of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Improvement required.

Form: 975307

Little Red Dancer^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: A D Brown| OR: 49| D

20/1

Opened account at Catterick in May but not in the same form both outings since, seventh of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (7f, firm) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Hey Mr (13/8), Canaria Prince (5/1), The Grey Lass (6/1), Spanish Angel (7/1), Gran Roque (14/1), Dandys Derriere (16/1), Muatadel (16/1), Brunello Breeze (16/1), See My Baby Jive (18/1), Little Red Dancer (20/1), Dodgy Bob (25/1), Roman Blaze (33/1), Megatron (50/1), Congress (66/1)

Having joined Paul Midgley this year, HEY MR left his previous efforts for his current yard behind when winning at Nottingham 6 days ago and he remains well treated on old form. The 5-y-o is taken to follow up, with Canaria Prince feared most having made the frame on all 3 of his previous outings here. Spanish Angel can also go well back at this course.
