Yazaman^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 55| D

5/1

Temperamental sort. One win from 35 Flat runs. 6/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 6 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces back on and he clearly needs everything to fall right.

Areille^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 53| BF

17/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Isn't totally straightforward but a player on that run.

Form: 863443

Rhubarb²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R J Price| OR: 52| D

14/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Back down in trip and more consistent than some of these.

Ali Jewels¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: W Jarvis| OR: 50| D

9/1

Well backed and better than ever when winning 8-runner handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago, making all. Another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 705381

Smooch⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 50

4/1

Very good fourth of 13 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 14/1) 6 days ago. Shortlist material eased 3 lb given she's unexposed over 5f.

Form: 9-37854

(8)

Tilsworth Ony Ta¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 50| D

9/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap (5/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Form: 322371

(5)

Enchanted Night^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Ffrench| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 46| D

Captain Corcoran^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| D

11/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, very good second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Forecasts

Smooch (4/1), Enchanted Night (5/1), Yazaman (5/1), Areille (17/2), Gustav Graves (17/2), Tilsworth Ony Ta (9/1), Ali Jewels (9/1), Captain Corcoran (11/1), Rhubarb (14/1), Grey Daze (18/1), The Spinmeister (25/1)

On just her second start over 5f, SMOOCH produced a career best when fourth in a deeper handicap than this at Pontefract last week and having been eased 3 lb since, she looks ready to open her account. Ali Jewels and Tilsworth Ony Ta are a couple of potential threats.
