Roman Dragon²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 95| D

12/1

Latest win at Sakhir in February. 10/3, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 28 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 800-124

(8)

Glenfinnan²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 95| D

4/1

8/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 27 days ago. Has more to offer as a sprinter for new yard and worth a chance to go in again.

Form: 5169-01

(6)

Raatea^p²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 89| D

16/1

10/1, 3½ lengths sixth of 9 to Glenfinnan in handicap at Ascot (6f, good) 27 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. On an appealing mark and can't be dismissed.

Form: 1803-06

(5)

Paws For Thought¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 88| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Chester (7f, soft) 12 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not one to write off.

Form: 5807-38

(1)

Persuasion¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: T D Barron| OR: 88

14/1

Creditable second of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Haydock (7.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Bumped into a progressive sort last time and is on a feasible mark.

Form: 129-062

(4)

Dare To Hope²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86| D

13/2

Latest win at Beverley in April. 11/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 2183-10

(7)

Monsieur Kodi²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

13/2

50/1, below form eighth of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 5829-58

(10)

Kelpie Grey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| BF

5/1

3 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Ayr in May. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 13/8) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Down in trip. Not taken lightly.

Form: 14-1112

(3)

Almarada Prince³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 90| C| D

5/1

Course winner. 22/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 39 days ago. Back on the up last time and may have more still to offer.

Form: 6111-03

(9)

Illusionist^b³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 81| BF| CD

22/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Wetherby in April. 11/4, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 33 days ago, met some trouble. Is up in grade but in good order and could get involved if he gets the breaks.

Form: 652215

(2)

Manila Scouse^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

18/1

12/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at York (5f, good) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Has a bit to prove at present.

Form: 44-2606

Forecasts

Glenfinnan (4/1), Almarada Prince (5/1), Kelpie Grey (5/1), Dare To Hope (13/2), Monsieur Kodi (13/2), Paws For Thought (9/1), Roman Dragon (12/1), Persuasion (14/1), Raatea (16/1), Manila Scouse (18/1), Illusionist (22/1)

GLENFINNAN is unexposed as a sprinter and opened his account for Michael Dods at Ascot last time, so he's capable of going in again for a possible tilt at the Wokingham. Kelpie Grey has returned thriving, so he's an obvious danger along with Roman Dragon
