Cheese The One^p⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Christian Howarth| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| CD

5/1

Modest filly. C&D winner. 15/2, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, soft) 52 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find a few too good on these terms.

Form: 657475

Chester Le Streak³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Pyle⁽⁶⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 50| D

9/4

Modest gelding. 15/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance and he has a good chance at the weights.

Form: 43106-4

(11)

Fighting Chance^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: S G West| OR: 36

150/1

150/1, last of 11 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 3 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 88-0090

(14)

Flavius Titus^b³²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Sam Feilden⁽³⁾| T: D Brooke| OR: 47| D

12/1

Modest gelding. Last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 32 days ago. Runner-up in a similar race to this on penultimate start at Ripon but others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 38-0020

(5)

Highland Queen¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁵⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 47

14/1

Modest filly. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (6f, soft, 15/2) when last seen in April. Record stands at 0-12 and more needed if she's to get her head in front here.

Form: 305-095

(12)

Koropick^t⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Erika Parkinson⁽³⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 42| CD

16/1

Poor gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 49 Flat runs (latest success gained back in 2017). Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, hampered. Looks vulnerable on these terms.

Form: 994876

Mokaman¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 47

33/1

12/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 25988-6

Muatadel^b¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 46| D

17/2

Modest gelding. Twenty-four runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities.

Form: 874327

(8)

Point Of Woods^v³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Olivia Tubb⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 44| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 37 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but not so much based on recent exploits.

Form: 0-00990

(13)

Red Bravo¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Tracey⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 44| D

18/1

Poor gelding. Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 33/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 11 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Form: 778575

(2)

Red Walls¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 48

22/1

Modest gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago, hampered. 0-19 on turf.

Form: 459985

(3)

Somewhere Secret¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Mia Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 49| D

5/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at this course (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. That was his best effort for a while and he's in with a shout on these terms.

Form: 050074

(4)

Amazing Arthur^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 44

28/1

Poor gelding. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 6-04280

(15)

Loveliest³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Zak Wheatley| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 47

20/1

Modest filly. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 22/1) 34 days ago. Runner-up in a 5f handicap here in June, and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture.

Form: 793200

(9)

Made Of Lir^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Elle-May Croot⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 46| D

22/1

Modest filly. Latest win at Ripon in June. 25/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Chester Le Streak (9/4), Somewhere Secret (5/1), Cheese The One (5/1), Muatadel (17/2), Flavius Titus (12/1), Kraken Florida (12/1), Highland Queen (14/1), Koropick (16/1), Red Bravo (18/1), Loveliest (20/1), Red Walls (22/1), Made Of Lir (22/1), Point Of Woods (22/1), Amazing Arthur (28/1), Mokaman (33/1), Fighting Chance (150/1)

CHESTER LE STREAK can be expected to come on for his belated seasonal reappearance spin over this C&D last month, and while he would have something to prove if the ground is on the slow side, his claims are otherwise pretty strong in a race of this nature. If able to reproduce form akin to her effort in a 5f handicap here in June Loveliest would be a threat, while Muatadel and Somewhere Secret are also worthy of consideration.
