Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: J Butler| OR: 55| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner who having been very well backed, ran creditably when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (evens) 26 days ago. Blinkers back on and significant if the money comes for him again.

Tonal⁴

15/8

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who again ran well when fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 7/2) 4 days ago, that despite being intimidated late on. Far less exposed than most he meets here and one to be interested in.

Form: 78-934

(9)

Still Standing⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 52

Unreliable type. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (14f) 7 days ago. Significantly back down in trip.

11/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 28 days ago. Step back down in trip rates a likely plus and better showing anticipated.

Forecasts

Tonal (15/8), Isle of Wolves (10/3), Pink Jazz (4/1), Mr Trick (6/1), Always Fearless (7/1), Cryptos Dream (15/2), Come To Pass (11/1), Classic Speed (16/1), Still Standing (28/1), Heavenly Wish (40/1), Fly The Nest (40/1), Freestyle (100/1)

TONAL again ran well on just his second start in handicaps when fourth here (8.6f) 4 days ago, that despite being intimidated late on. He's far less exposed than most he meets here and gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run now upped in trip. Pink Jazz, who was well backed last time, would need considering if supported again for his shrewd stable, with Isle of Wolves and Cryptos Dream others to consider.
