Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| CD

10/1

C&D winner. 3/1, won 5-runner handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft), better placed than most. Nudged up just 1 lb for that and will have every chance if fully tuned-up for this. Record when fresh in recent years isn't overly inspiring but he's otherwise appealing.

16/1

Course winner. 80/1, eighth of 15 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 49-8078

Life On The Rocks¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Sexton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| D

11/8

Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Ripon (9.8f, good) 17 days ago. Very modest strike rate (1-17) but has slipped to a dangerous mark and he's one to consider.

Moush^h1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate| T: L Bailey| OR: 55

25/1

33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. This 15-race maiden will need to improve for the fitting of a hood if he's to finally open his account.

Form: 555-060

Irv³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 55| D

10/3

Won 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 20/1) 34 days ago. Remains on a workable mark up 6 lb and while faster ground would be preferable (has run well on soft but majority of his best form has come on good/good to firm), he has to be high on the shortlist.

Form: 2460-61

Fifty Sent^p³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 51| D

7/2

One win from 23 Flat runs. 8/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 31 days ago. Place possibilities in an open-looking race.

Form: 03-8355

Going Underground^b³⁵⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir| T: W Storey| OR: 48

18/1

One win from 32 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) when last seen in June 2023. Definite chance off this mark judged on peak form, namely his good second on good to soft (unraced on slower) ar Musselburgh last spring, but likely to come on for the run.

Forecasts

Life On The Rocks (11/8), Irv (10/3), Fifty Sent (7/2), Eva Rosie (13/2), Bay Dream Believer (7/1), Langton Wold (8/1), Sameem (10/1), Whatwouldyouknow (16/1), Going Underground (18/1), Moush (25/1)

It's worth taking a chance on the fitness of SAMEEM, who hasn't made a winning seasonal reappearance subsequent to the 2019 campaign but, unlike several of these, there will be no question marks surrounding him if the ground is on the slow side, as seems likely. The 8-y-o signed off last season on a winning note at Catterick and while that was over 1¾m, he's effective at this trip, too. Irv did the job well at Wolverhampton last month and he is feared most ahead of Life On The Rocks.
