Rose Camira⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Jarvis| OR: 57| CD

5/1

Steadily found her feet for present yard, building on her penultimate Yarmouth third when landing 6-runner C&D handicap 9 days ago, going clear over 1f out and closed down only late on. May yet have more to offer at this sort of trip.

Form: 30-7531

Lawmans Blis¹¹

10/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. 7/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm) 11 days ago, plugging on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: K Frost| OR: 56

11/1

4/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 24 days ago, making little impression. Blinkers need to have positive effect now.

Norman Kindu^v¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Oliver Stammers| T: R Menzies| OR: 55| D

10/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Redcar (14f, good to firm) 14 days ago, not ideally placed in a steadily-run race. One to bear in mind.

Form: 08-6484

Marbuzet^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53| D

6/1

Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 5/1) 14 days ago. Should be thereabouts again from 1 lb higher mark.

Smokey Malone (10/3), Rose Camira (5/1), Beggarman (5/1), Marbuzet (6/1), Lawmans Blis (10/1), Norman Kindu (10/1), Hidden Pearl (10/1), Daaris (11/1), Desert Quest (11/1), Embolden (14/1), Thunder Flash (18/1)

NORMAN KINDU took a step forward on his comeback run despite not being ideally placed in a steadily-run affair when fourth at Redcar (14f) 2 weeks ago and from this much-reduced mark, he could be worth chancing to build on that effort here. Marbuzet, Smokey Malone and Rose Camira are just a trio of others to consider.
