Crosspark²⁰²

Age: 13| Weight: 12-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: N Kent| OR: 120| D

15/2

Not scored since 2019 but showed a bit of spark when placed in a couple of hunters last spring. Others more appealing, though.

Form: 6/7PP33-

Stylish Moment^t⁶⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-13| J: P W Wadge⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 119

13/2

Returned to winning ways in similar event at Haydock (25.6f) in April and backed that up with good second at Cartmel next time. Running creditably when unseated rider at Perth last time and holds solid claims here.

Form: 361-2PU

Mr Mafia^p³⁹

Age: 14| Weight: 11-9| J: Adam Wedge| T: M Keighley| OR: 115| D

28/1

Capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when making a winning return from 8 months off at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) in July but hasn't been in same form either start since and makes limited appeal.

Form: 2P4-1P6

Innisfree Lad^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: David Dennis| OR: 115| C

5/2

Won a veterans event (off 7 lb higher) at Hereford in February and may have still needed outing when tenth in a more competitive handicap at Cheltenham last month. Not out of things.

Form: 235P-70

Fairway Freddy²²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 109

9/2

Finished a soundly-beaten second in 4-runner Fontwell event last month and failed to repeat that effort when well held at Plumpton 22 days ago. Others more convincing. Engaged 2.25 Kempton Monday.

Form: 562-726

Special Acceptance^p²²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-13| J: G Sheehan| T: P R Webber| OR: 105

4/1

Plummeted down the weights and posted best effort for some time when 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Stylish Moment in handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) in April. Remains nicely treated on return and must enter calculations.

Form: P3/P552-

Call Of The Loon⁸²

Age: 12| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 100| D

9/2

Proved consistent since joining Christian Williams, scoring for second time when taking 12-runner handicap chase at Stratford (27.5f, good, 4/1) 82 days ago, driven out. 6 lb higher now but looks sure to give another good account.

Form: 12-2321

Forecasts

Innisfree Lad (5/2), Special Acceptance (4/1), Fairway Freddy (9/2), Call Of The Loon (9/2), Stylish Moment (13/2), Crosspark (15/2), Ballinslea Bridge (14/1), Mr Mafia (28/1)

Preference is for STYLISH MOMENT, who was in the process of running well when unseating 3 out at Perth last time and remains feasibly treated. Call of The Loon and Innisfree Lad can also make their presence felt.
