Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: S G West| OR: 55| BF| D

28/1

Won back-to-back 1½m handicaps on turf this spring. Off since a bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Beverley in April. Much depends on whether she's fully primed after her break.

Form: 0-97114

Spirit Of Ash^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T Davidson| OR: 52| C

3/1

Course winner in September. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (1¼m, 4/1) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip. Thereabouts.

Trailblazer^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: A Nicol| OR: 51

8/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Fourth of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 51| CD

11/2

C&D winner in September. Down the field on turf at Catterick last time but he seems better on AW.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mathers| T: C N Kellett| OR: 56

9/2

22/1 and blinkered first time, first run since leaving Ian Williams when creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Shortlist material.

Foshan^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Billy Garritty| T: A Nicol| OR: 49

40/1

100/1 and cheekpieces on first time, first run for 16 months/since leaving Harry Eustace when last of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (1½m, soft) 25 days ago. Plenty to prove.

Form: 07/373-0

Bateau Bay³³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47

40/1

Well held in 3 handicaps for this yard last autumn and can only watch on rather belated return unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form: 8/65799-

Milltown Lily^t⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 46

Form: 7-34482

Carouselle^p1⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 51

12/1

Looks one of top stable's lesser lights but she did show a bit more when fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (1½m) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Form: 85-7065

(8)

Acton Bell³⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 49

22/1

Modest form at best at up to 1m at 2. Steps up markedly in trip on this rather belated reappearance. Watching brief the percentage call unless the betting vibes are notably strong.

Forecasts

Spirit Of Ash (3/1), Great Colaci (10/3), Twoforthegutter (9/2), Toscan Genius (11/2), Trailblazer (8/1), Milltown Lily (11/1), Carouselle (12/1), Acton Bell (22/1), Sugarpiehoneybunch (28/1), Foshan (40/1), Bateau Bay (40/1), Coeur De Coeurs (50/1)

TWOFORTHEGUTTER made a positive start for this stable when third over C&D last month and is taken to build on that and land a first success. Course specialist Great Colaci gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Tristan Davidson's Spirit of Ash.
