Mountain Warrior^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 79

9/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Also placed there in March and shaped much better than the result when twelfth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) since going off too hard. Interesting back at 5f.

Form: 67-1030

13/2

Good runner-up efforts over 5f at Thirsk (soft) and Wolverhampton (AW) on last 2 starts. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Form: 774022

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 76| D

Jordan Electrics⁶^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| CD

5/2

C&D winner last September who got his head back in front over 6f at Ayr (good) 6 days ago. Ought to be very competitive under a 4 lb penalty.

Form: 1334-91

(4)

Spring Is Sprung¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| D

6/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 16/1) on reappearance 10 days ago. Should be sharper for the outing.

Form: 0/4447-7

Nelson Gay^p¹⁰⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 74| D

16/1

15/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) in February, unable to sustain effort. Off 106 days. On a feasible mark but he's done the majority of his winning on AW.

Form: 7623-47

(9)

Minnesota Lad³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

10/3

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) on reappearance 30 days ago. Another who can't be discounted in an open affair.

Form: 42402-3

(5)

Mereside Angel¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 67| D

12/1

33/1, likely needed the outing when tenth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) on reappearance 10 days ago. Back on last winning mark.

Form: 20690-0

(6)

So Grateful¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| D

10/1

17/2, bit below form third of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on reappearance 18 days ago. Might come on for the outing and he's dropped back to the mark he defied at Pontefract last summer.

Form: 26358-3

Forecasts

Jordan Electrics (5/2), Minnesota Lad (10/3), Spring Is Sprung (6/1), Reigning Profit (13/2), Mountain Warrior (9/1), So Grateful (10/1), Mereside Angel (12/1), Nelson Gay (16/1), Pockley (33/1)

A chance is taken on MOUNTAIN WARRIOR who simply did too much too soon over 6f at Thirsk last time and this drop to a stiff 5f could be ideal. Reigning Profit and last week's Ayr winner Jordan Electrics are solid alternatives, while Spring Is Sprung should strip fitter with his recent reappearance behind him and Danny Tudhope isn't a regular booking for the yard.
