Angel On High^t⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| BF

6/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 43 days ago, just failing. Needs considering.

Form: 700542

Jamih³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 55| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, good to firm, 20/1) 35 days ago, running on. Decent each-way chance.

Form: 4-54942

(6)

Amourie¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell| T: R Craggs| OR: 53| D

28/1

Eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 742278

(4)

Prince Achille⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 52| BF

5/2

Winner at Carlisle in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm, 7/4) 64 days ago. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 6U3-313

(2)

Marcello Si^p1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Shane Gray| T: M Dods| OR: 51

7/1

11/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he has to enter calculations.

Form: 437-244

(11)

Ghostly⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 47| D

17/2

Won 10-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 7 days ago. Escapes a penalty and he's likely to be on the premises.

Form: 380751

(9)

Skedaddled^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: R E Barr| OR: 45

20/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces back on. Others preferred.

Form: 05-0537

(10)

Milltown Lily^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45

6/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 23 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 407-344

(12)

Mad Artymaise¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: G Boanas| OR: 45

12/1

11/1, creditable 8 lengths second of 10 to Lechro in handicap at Beverley (12.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Will do well to reverse placings with that rival here.

Form: 745432

(8)

Robin Goodfellow⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 45

22/1

18/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 53 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 509-955

(3)

Tarnhelm¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 45| C

50/1

Course winner. Three wins from 76 Flat runs. Forty-two runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip and, chances are, she'll find a few too good once more.

Form: 9099-74

Forecasts

Prince Achille (5/2), Lechro (4/1), Jamih (9/2), Angel On High (6/1), Milltown Lily (6/1), Marcello Si (7/1), Ghostly (17/2), Jenny Ren (10/1), Mad Artymaise (12/1), Skedaddled (20/1), Robin Goodfellow (22/1), Amourie (28/1), Wheal Kitty (33/1), Tarnhelm (50/1)

This is tougher than the selling handicap LECHRO landed at Beverley last week but she did the job emphatically and will prove a tough nut to crack under a penalty here, provided she is in a similar mood. Marcello Si gets the nod ahead of Prince Achille, Angel On High and Ghostly for forecast purposes.
