Kelpie Grey¹²^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 67| C| D

11/10

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Carries penalty. Shortlist material on the back of that commanding success.

Form: 68014-1

Gobi Sunset⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| D

11/4

Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 33/1) 4 days ago, unsurprisingly failing to stay. Back over a more suitable trip here.

Form: 260730

Keep Me Stable³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 60| D

14/1

Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 66/1) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive returned to turf.

Form: 06-6800

Homer Stokes³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: T D Barron| OR: 59| D

10/1

Disappointing effort when eighth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 39 days ago. Below his last winning mark returned to turf if he can bounce back.

Form: 7-59738

(7)

Purple Martini²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 59| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 24 days ago. Entitled to come on for that so she's of interest.

Form: 15399-6

New Tycoon²¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: L Bailey| OR: 58

40/1

80/1, first run since leaving James Horton when last of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft). Off 7 months.

Forecasts

Kelpie Grey (11/10), Gobi Sunset (11/4), Purple Martini (9/2), Homer Stokes (10/1), Keep Me Stable (14/1), Gordonstoun (16/1), New Tycoon (40/1)

KELPIE GREY was better than ever when making a winning reappearance here 12 days ago, and with the return to 7f no issue, his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Purple Martini's return to action was promising and she's feared most.
