Lightly-raced winner but hasn't progressed this season, running poorly at Hamilton latest.

Lion's Dream^b1¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 77

16/1

Winning debut for Richard Hughes last July. Mixed record for this yard this term, again pulling too hard at Pontefract 2 weeks ago. Change of headgear.

Form: 42-2648

Dandy Maestro^v⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 75| CD

5/1

Best effort for a while when second of 6 over C&D in May. Well held at Beverley next time but ground might have been too quick. Not taken lightly.

Form: 00-6529

22/1

Things teed up for him nicely when shedding maiden tag at Southwell (1m), a well-run event on just his second AW start suiting well. Ran poorly back on turf next time and headgear now reached for.

Form: 56-6010

Jack Daniel¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll| OR: 72| D

4/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy, 4/1). Struggled back under less testing conditions at Doncaster since but ground more suitable here.

Form: 0245-19

Calypso^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J Ferguson| OR: 77

15/8

Placed all 5 starts since debut, good second at Hamilton 2 weeks ago, clear of rest. Big shout off same mark.

Form: 932-332

Cariad^p⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: George Scott| OR: 63| D

11/2

Latest win at Lingfield in February. Good second over C&D last month and looked unsuited by the drop back in trip at Yarmouth last week. Player.

Forecasts

Calypso (15/8), Jack Daniel (4/1), Dandy Maestro (5/1), Zarabanda (11/2), Cariad (11/2), Classic Speed (10/1), Lion's Dream (16/1), Star Zinc (22/1)

CALYPSO ran well back up in trip when second at Hamilton 2 weeks ago and remains one to be interested in off the same mark given how far he came clear of the rest. Conditions are likely to be suitable for Dandy Maestro and Jack Daniel so they head the dangers.
