Shaw Park⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mikkel Mortensen⁽⁵⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 62

1/1

Remains a maiden but confirmed himself back in form under a more attacking ride when good second of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, good to firm) 4 days ago, sticking to task. A repeat gives him good claims again.

Bishop's Glory¹³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson| T: G & J Moore| OR: 59| D

12/1

Well ridden when opening his account at Wolverhampton (7f) in November but went off the boil in trio of starts thereafter on AW. Switched yards ahead of return and significant if the market spoke in his favour.

Form: 2816-76

Charlatan⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Bass| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55

11/1

Much-improved in handicaps since the turn of the year, completing quick-fire hat-trick at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Disappointing effort back on turf when eleventh of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Yarmouth (1m) 45 days ago so needs to leave that behind to figure here.

9/2

3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 15/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 29 days ago. Looks sure to give another good account of herself.

Forecasts

Shaw Park (1/1), Tea Sea (7/2), Heer's Sadie (9/2), Charlatan (11/1), Bishop's Glory (12/1)

SHAW PARK confirmed his return to form under a more attacking ride than usual when runner-up over 1m here 4 days ago and with the drop back in trip worth exploring on that evidence, he can shed his maiden tag. Heer's Sadie goes particularly well here and she's feared most.
