Spantik^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 63

15/2

Snapped a losing run in a 9-runner handicap at Ripon (2m, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Tudhope takes the ride again and he should be competitive after a further 2 lb nudge.

Form: 6-32831

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| BF

17/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable second of 5 in handicap at Beverley (2m, soft) 17 days ago.

Manxman^v³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: S Crisford| OR: 69

4/11

Made it 3-4 in handicaps when an emphatic winner at Salisbury (1¾m) 5 weeks ago. Very much unexposed as a stayer and a further 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him against older rivals.

Yasmin From York¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: S Whitaker| OR: 52

28/1

Successful twice over 2m at Catterick in the first half of 2022. Not seen again until finishing down the field in 2 outings last month. Could be building up her fitness but need to see more before lending support.

Form: 4123-97

Aighear²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

15/2

Runner-up twice last month and probably not ideally suited by the drop back to 11f when only 6 lengths fourth here last time. This sort of test should see her in a better light.

Forecasts

Manxman (4/11), Aighear (15/2), Spantik (15/2), Hellenista (17/2), Yasmin From York (28/1)

MANXMAN stands out as a 3-y-o heading in the right direction in this line-up and looks good for a fourth win in his last 5 starts. Recent Ripon scorer Spantik can follow him home.
