End Zone^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66

12/1

Latest win at Hamilton in May. May have just needed his first outing in 7 weeks when eighth of 12 at Ayr (1m, good) 9 days ago. Should be back closer to his best this time.

Form: 904148

Woodlands Charm³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| C

28/1

Course winner and another good run here when second over 6f last month. Not disgraced when seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. First attempt at 7f.

Form: 0-78827

Coaxing³³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 63| CD

11/1

Back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f) in January and narrowly outpointed over the same C&D a month later. Again performed with credit back from a break/returned to turf when third at Redcar (7f) last month.

Form: 205-123

Obee Jo^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| CD

6/1

Gained the third C&D win of his career (and second of 2023) when seeing off Liberty Breeze on good to firm a fortnight ago. Failed to repeat that form when fourth of 7 over C&D last week but that was a Class 4 and he's back in a lower grade this time. Considered.

Form: 135714

Langholm^t¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 60| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, good) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. On a workable mark but doesn't obviously arrive in form.

Form: 8-22400

(10)

Star Sound¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 66

8/1

Fair maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 14 days ago, fading late on having set the pace.

Form: 3-32725

(6)

New Tycoon²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton| OR: 66

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago, racing keenly in the lead for a long way. Still early days but he does require improvement.

Form: 746-76

(5)

Mutanaaseq⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 58| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner in May. Creditable second of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (6f, soft, 11/2) 5 days ago. Return to 7f should suit and he's one of two solid contenders for the stable.

Form: 212542

(11)

Liberty Breeze¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 57| BF| CD

4/1

Landed a gamble to notch a third C&D success last month. Good ¾-length second of 9 to Obee Jo back here a fortnight ago. There's unlikely to be much between them on the revised terms.

Form: 0-07212

(12)

Magical Effect^b¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Took too long to get going when sixth of 9 over C&D on fast ground a fortnight ago but the likely slower conditions here should suit. On the shortlist.

Form: 668826

(7)

Mr Trevor¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 56| D

16/1

Three-time winner on AW in 2022 but yet to fire so far this season, sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, firm, 12/1) 19 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 219-096

Sharrabang⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| D

28/1

Twenty six runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Hamilton (6f, good) 6 days ago. Not hard to look elsewhere.

Form: 233559

Forecasts

Mutanaaseq (3/1), Liberty Breeze (4/1), Obee Jo (6/1), Star Sound (8/1), Magical Effect (17/2), Coaxing (11/1), Langholm (11/1), End Zone (12/1), Mr Trevor (16/1), New Tycoon (18/1), Woodlands Charm (28/1), Sharrabang (28/1)

A few course specialists clash here. MUTANAASEQ ran well again when second over 6f at Nottingham last week but 7f is more his trip and he can land a second C&D win of the summer. His stablemate Magical Effect was never a threat when behind him over C&D on fast ground earlier in the month but it could be a different story under today's likely slower conditions and he's second choice ahead of Obee Jo and Liberty Breeze.
