Asmund^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 58| BF| D

11/2

Ran better than for a while when third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, having run of race. Can give another good account.

Form: 5-70083

Obee Jo^p¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Again looked rather laboured when seventh of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm, 13/2) 13 days ago. Every chance if back to best, but possible he's now gone off the boil.

Form: 7-91357

(9)

Liberty Breeze³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 55| CD

1/1

Landed a gamble to notch a third C&D success in 13-runner handicap (7/2, good to firm) 32 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 70-0721

(5)

Cabinet Maker^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 54

14/1

Ran poorly after 6-month absence when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 29 days ago. Hard to have much faith in at present.

Form: 48547-0

(7)

Musicality⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 52

40/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Sixteenth of 20 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 53 days ago. Can't be fancied.

Form: 00990-0

(8)

Without Delay¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 51

11/2

Not disgraced when sixth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 19 days ago but others make greater appeal on balance.

Form: 56-4466

(3)

Final Frontier^h¹⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Probably needed run when fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 25/1) 19 days ago. Ought to be sharper here and isn't discounted.

Form: 32-3805

(2)

Madam Arkati⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: A Elliott| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 45

80/1

Yet to show any ability and is opposable again even in such a weak contest.

Form: 7-68800

(4)

Genevieve^v²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: S H James| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1 and visored for 1st time, sixth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 2 days ago, taking strong hold in front and fading late.

Form: 86586

Forecasts

Liberty Breeze (1/1), Obee Jo (4/1), Asmund (11/2), Without Delay (11/2), Cabinet Maker (14/1), Final Frontier (18/1), Genevieve (33/1), Doomsday (33/1), Musicality (40/1), Madam Arkati (80/1)

A poor contest in which LIBERTY BREEZE should prove more than capable of following up last month's C&D success. Asmund was seen to good effect from the front at Redcar last time and can make the placings again if in the same form, with Final Frontier just about preferred of the remainder now with a recent run under his belt.
