Caribbean Sunset¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 60| D

4/1

Respectable effort despite not being seen to best effect when third of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 11 days ago. Holding form well lately and seems likely to be on the premises once more.

Kraken Power⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| D

9/2

Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 47 days ago. Has been in good form for a while and can make his mark if things drop right.

Wrecked It Ralph⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| C

7/2

Course winner. 40/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 57 days ago, out of the weights and shaping as if better for the run. More realistic claims in this grade.

Form: 44612-8

Flavius Titus^b,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: D Brooke| OR: 48| D

14/1

5/1, second of 9 in minor event at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago. Well treated in theory but hard to be sure that he'll build on that.

Form: 138-002

Roman Blaze^h,t1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Bedi| OR: 48

18/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (6f) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

See My Baby Jive^b1⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: D W Whillans| OR: 46

5/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Needs first-time blinkers to perk her up.

Form: 8424-56

Earn Your Stripes^v1⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 45| CD

22/1

C&D winner. 12/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 6 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Out of sorts this year and not easy to make a case for.

Form: 59-5489

(1)

Zegos Surprise^t²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 45

13/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, firm, 22/1) 26 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive.

Form: 242547

Oriental Lilly^b⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-12| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 40/1) 7 days ago. Doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 548504

Genevieve^v1⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

100/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 50/1) 6 days ago. Visored for 1st time.

Forecasts

Wrecked It Ralph (7/2), Caribbean Sunset (4/1), The Caltonian (4/1), Kraken Power (9/2), See My Baby Jive (5/1), King Of The Jungle (11/2), Zegos Surprise (13/2), Oriental Lilly (17/2), Flavius Titus (14/1), Huraiz (16/1), Roman Blaze (18/1), Earn Your Stripes (22/1), Genevieve (100/1)

THE CALTONIAN is lightly raced and took a step forward despite displaying signs of lingering greenness when second over C&D last time, so he takes preference over the in-form Kraken Power, who was also placed here last time. Caribbean Sunset can't be discounted.
