Off time: 17:10 | Winning time: 4m 0.39s

Bold Recruit¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: K Brogan| T: Billy Aprahamian

6/1

Maiden pointer who showed up well when runner-up at Southwell 17 days ago and could make his presence felt with a step forward.

Form: FP/F32-2

Fan Magnet

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: B S Hughes| T: S R B Crawford

9/2

Magneticjim gelding. Dam, maiden over hurdles/fences in France, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser (15f-21f winner) Benefique. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Form:

Little Big Kev^t²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: R T Phillips

9/2

Runner-up on his only start in points and made an encouraging start under Rules when third at Huntingdon. Not seen to best effect at Stratford next time and worth a chance to open his account.

Form: 23-4

Spanish Buttons²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Joe Williamson⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby

125/1

From a reasonable family but failed to beat a rival at Southwell first time out and there's others with significantly better claims.

Form: 0

Gwennie May Star⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

1/1

Offered something to work on when mid-field in a much stronger race than this at Newbury 77 days ago. More to come and worthy of respect.

Form: 9-

Jacks Wish⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N & W Twiston-Davies

11/1

Bred to stay well and, while he showed ability when sixth at Huntingdon first time out, he's probably more of a long-term project.

Form: 6-

Sayva²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: R P McLernon| T: J & A O'Neill

28/1

Related to a dual bumper winner but Haydock debut was short of promise, so would need to prove an entirely different proposition.

Form: 8

Ambers Rose

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Chris Ward⁽³⁾| T: Tracey Leeson

150/1

Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to 2 point winners. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Grangeclare Lark. Not an obvious sort on paper.

Form:

On A Sticky Wicket^t1¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Benjamin Poste| T: H J Evans

80/1

Jack Hobbs mare. Dam, lightly-raced over hurdles/fences (stayed 3m), half-sister to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Big City Roller. Wears tongue strap. Last of 9 finishers sole start in points (Feb 25). Others more persuasive.

Form: 9-

Sweet Serene⁹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans

66/1

Yet to show much ability and needs a lot more if he's to make an impact after 3 months off.

Form: 97-

Work De Street²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Charlie Hammond| T: M Young

200/1

€3,500 3-y-o, Workforce filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Penneys Hun and modest hurdler/fair chaser Not The Chablis. Pulled up sole start in points (May 18). Hard to fancy.

Form: P

Forecasts

Gwennie May Star (1/1), Little Big Kev (9/2), Fan Magnet (9/2), Bold Recruit (6/1), Jacks Wish (11/1), Sayva (28/1), Sweet Serene (66/1), On A Sticky Wicket (80/1), Spanish Buttons (125/1), Ambers Rose (150/1), Work De Street (200/1)

LITTLE BIG KEV has marginally the best form and wasn't seen to best effect at Stratford last time, so he's capable of opening his account at the third go under Rules. Gwennie May Star is a danger with improvement on the cards and Fan Magnet looks an appealing newcomer.
