Off time: 21:01 | Winning time: 1m 15.72s

(1)

Nammos³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 71

40/1

First run since leaving Jane Chapple-Hyam when seventh of 8 in novice event (11/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 39 days ago. Lots to prove following that.

Form: 220/62-7

(7)

Harry's Halo^h,t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: K Frost| OR: 71| BF| D

6/1

Been rather expensive to follow in recent times, 10/3 when just a respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Tendency to miss the break remains a concern.

Form: 59-5235

(5)

Mersea¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 70| D

15/2

Latest win at Southwell in April. Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, weakening late on having pulled hard. Just 1 lb above her last winning mark.

Form: 621045

(3)

Dicko The Legend¹²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 69| D

28/1

Doubled career tally at Chelmsford in December. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 3/1). Off 128 days. First run for yard after leaving Roger Ingram and professional handling may help this tricky ride.

Form: 1621-24

(4)

Wreck It Ryley^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: A D Brown| OR: 67

15/8

Consistent performer who posted another sound effort when second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 17/2) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Expected to be bang there eased slightly in grade.

Form: 344-322

(6)

Yesterday's Hero¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

33/1

Raced on the AW so far and winless since debut, seventh of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (6.1f). Off 116 days and others more persuasive.

Form: 6966-37

(9)

Mister Sox^p²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| C

16/5

Course winner who ran right up to form when second of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good, 7/2) 25 days ago. No reason why he won't give it another good go nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 143-922

(8)

Three Beauz²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mathers| T: R Menzies| OR: 62

40/1

Maiden who showed little when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 28/1). Off 9 months.

Form: 24/3670-

(2)

Langholm^b1,t⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 57| BF| C| D

4/1

Course winner. Twenty-six runs since last win in 2022. 9/4, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 8 days ago. Blinkers on first time in hope to break this sequence and he's clearly in better form than most.

Form: 0-25232

Forecasts

Wreck It Ryley (15/8), Mister Sox (16/5), Langholm (4/1), Harry's Halo (6/1), Mersea (15/2), Dicko The Legend (28/1), Yesterday's Hero (33/1), Nammos (40/1), Three Beauz (40/1)

WRECK IT RYLEY ran a cracker when runner-up in a higher band of handicap 3 weeks ago, and from the same mark in refitted headgear, he has plenty in his favour. Langholm has been on a frustrating losing run but he certainly arrives in good nick, with Mister Sox likely to give it another good go.
