Malcolm Greenslade Doncaster LVA Stalwart Memorial Handicap (Div 1)

Off time: 15:48 | Winning time: 1m 4.87s

Imperial Khan^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 56| CD

5/1

Confirmed more positive signs and defied a career-low mark in the process when making all over C&D in May. Not seen to best effect next time but quickly back on track when second at Hamilton (5f) 3 weeks ago. Needs to prove his effectiveness on this sort of ground, however.

Laertes^t,v¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55

11/2

Maiden who caught the eye when runner-up at Chelmsford (6f) in May, keeping on well from the rear. Latest run at Newcastle has to go down as disappointing but underfoot conditions will hold no fears and bounce back not ruled out from a career-low mark.

Form: 73-0250

Lady Pascha⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: D Carroll| OR: 55

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 74 days ago. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and worth noting her best effort to date came on ground softer than good.

Form: 4-36

Bankrupt¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 54| D

8/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner minor event at Bath (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 13 days ago, looking well suited by switch to forcing tactics. Needs to build on that back in handicap company.

Form: 6-03441

Wade's Magic^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53| D

13/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ran best race of present campaign when creditable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Carlisle (5f, good) 10 days ago. Not out of things from this career-low mark.

Golden Gal¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 53| D

9/2

Ninth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Is now operating 4 lb below last winning mark and underfoot conditions will hold no fears if she can bounce back.

16/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 11/1) 27 days ago, rearing leaving stalls and unable to sustain effort. No surprise to see a better showing from what rates a workable mark.

Form: 279D48

Heavens Dew^v1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw| OR: 46

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 150/1) 7 days ago. Makes turf debut. Visored for 1st time.

Form: 9-950

(2)

Cavalryman^h⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 45

25/1

11/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 77 days ago, ridden early in the straight and one paced. More needed if he's to figure on turf debut.

Form: 4-68776

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: S R Bowring| OR: 45| D

28/1

One win from 24 Flat runs. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 80/1) 39 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hard to warm to at present.

Kasino^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: B Smart| OR: 49

16/1

All weather nursery winner from this mark last summer who hasn't threatened in handful of AW/turf starts so far this year. Others preferred on balance.

Forecasts

Latin Five (10/3), Golden Gal (9/2), Imperial Khan (5/1), Laertes (11/2), Wade's Magic (13/2), Bankrupt (8/1), Birdie Bowers (12/1), Lady Pascha (14/1), Kasino (16/1), Cheyenne Nation (16/1), Cavalryman (25/1), Miss Anaco (28/1), Arnie Angell (40/1), Heavens Dew (125/1)

LATIN FIVE has fallen plenty in the weights and arrives here in good order so, back at the scene of his last success, he could well be the way to go with a wide draw unlikely to inconvenience him. Lady Pascha back from a break/on handicap debut, Golden Gal and Wade's Magic head up the dangers. Laertes is another making some each-way appeal if shrugging off a lesser effort on AW recently.
