4/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good) 27 days ago, shaken up 3f out and never on terms. Better showing not ruled out back at this shorter trip.

Beautiful Sky^h1,t1⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 69

11/1

Fairly useful performer in France, off the mark at Deauville (7f, AW) in January. Below best on final 2 starts but has since joined a yard adept with such types and no big surprise to see him go well with a tongue tie added to usual hood.

Form: 34-1200

A Pint Of Bear^p⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| CD

1/1

C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 6 days ago, no extra dying strides. Obvious claims again in present groove.

Voodoo Ray^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Thriving 4-time course winner who rattled off quick-fire hat-trick away from this venue when winning 15-runner handicap (2/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 23 days ago, leading final 1f and keeping on. Handicapper applies further pressure but well worthy of respect again.

Form: 435-111

Forecasts

A Pint Of Bear (1/1), Conquest Of Power (3/1), Mumayaz (4/1), Voodoo Ray (4/1), Pop Star (9/1), Beautiful Sky (11/1)

Multiple course winner VOODOO RAY has thrived upon returning this term, landing back-to-back handicaps here before bringing up the hat-trick at Bath 23 days ago. He could be up to defying the handicapper again in this sort of form, with fellow in-form pair A Pint of Bear and Conquest of Power also respected. Market confidence behind Beautiful Sky on debut for the Kubler team would also need to be viewed positively.
