4/1

First run since leaving Karl Burke when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 44 days ago. That was his first start for 7 months and he's the type his new yard can do well with. Respected in first-time cheekpieces.

Gis A Sub^p⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

9/1

Winless during his 3-y-o campaign but shaped encouragingly from his much-reduced mark when eighth in 21-runner handicap on return at Newmarket (6f) in May. Never figured turned out quickly at York that month but given time ahead of this and bounce back possible with cheekpieces back on.

Form: 9007-80

Mojomaker^t1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 85

7/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 11 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and not out of things for each-way purposes.

Form: 220-528

11/2

Latest win at Windsor in May. 11/4, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago, edging right over 1f out and one paced. Better showing not ruled out.

Form: 82-6123

Roundhay Park⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 78| D

8/1

Latest win at Catterick (6f, soft) in April. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (8/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 7 days ago, never better than midfield. Mark is steadily easing but he'll likely find easier openings.

Khunan^v³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 77

5/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago, never nearer. Has fallen plenty in the weights if he can build on that now.

Form: 50977-4

Magnificence^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Brian O'Rourke| OR: 76

12/1

Had little recent form to his name before a revived second in a C&D handicap on penultimate start last month. Finishing effort proved rather tame when seventh of 9 in handicap at Newbury (6f) since, though.

Form: 7-76027

Satin Snake^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: A Keatley| OR: 75

12/1

Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 9 days ago. Blinkers back on returned to sprinting.

Ibn Aldar¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 74| D

13/2

Returned from a long absence to score at Lingfield (6f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form when midfield at Kempton (7f) next time and not so well served by change of tactics at Doncaster since. Remains relatively low mileage but both victories to date have come on AW.

Form: 616/160

(2)

Mighty Power⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Gray| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 74| D

28/1

Again notably travelled well when adding to his tally at Newcastle (6f) in March. Shaped as if still in good form on AW next 2 starts but below best returned to turf at Doncaster (6f) in May.

Form: 351670

Forecasts

Significantly (4/1), Khunan (5/1), Silent Flame (11/2), Ibn Aldar (13/2), Mojomaker (7/1), Roundhay Park (8/1), Gis A Sub (9/1), Satin Snake (12/1), Magnificence (12/1), Mighty Power (28/1)

SIGNIFICANTLY has tumbled down the weights and showed more encouraging signs when fourth on return/yard debut at Ayr (6f) during May. Just the type his stable do well with, he could be worth chancing to build on that from this career-low mark. Gis A Sub was below his best at York but is another potentially well treated if things click again and is one to monitor. Mojomaker and Silent Flame also make each-way appeal.
