Global Humor^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 53| BF| CD

7/2

Unreliable type. C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 11/8) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward but it's a pretty significant 'if'.

Form: 723725

Ski Angel¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: R M Smith| OR: 53| C

5/2

Course winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 11/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good) 15 days ago. Back up in trip and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 30147-1

Bernie The Bear^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 52| D

15/2

4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago. 0-9 on turf but placed 5 times and he should give another good account.

Form: 452424

14/1

10/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) 18 days ago and she will probably find a few too good once more.

Form: 04427-8

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 51| D

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mathers| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 50

80/1

Last of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 131 days and she's readily passed over.

Glorious Rio^b²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Twenty-five runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 9/1) 27 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but others look more solid on balance.

Form: 05-7769

(3)

Mr Trevor^v1¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 49| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Visor on 1st time and he needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 5147-00

Hard Solution^b²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Four-time course winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 40/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Monsieur Patat²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Wintle| OR: 46| D

18/1

25/1, first run since leaving Robyn Brisland when below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Hard to warm to.

50/1

40/1, first run since leaving Jim Goldie when sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Hopes now pinned on the first-time hood sparking improvement.

Forecasts

Ski Angel (5/2), Global Humor (7/2), Glorious Rio (6/1), Bernie The Bear (15/2), Kitbag (8/1), Mr Trevor (9/1), Hard Solution (12/1), See My Baby Jive (14/1), Monsieur Patat (18/1), Mrs Happy (50/1), Onthebunny (80/1)

The one with the most solid credentials is SKI ANGEL, who looked better than ever when scoring over the minimum trip at Ayr recently and she was successful here on her sole previous visit in September. The return to this trip shouldn't overly inconvenience her. Bernie The Bear is pretty consistent and he is the clear main danger ahead of the unreliable but capable 9-y-o Global Humor.
