Charging Thunder^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| CD

13/8

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 29 days ago, possibly helped by way race developed. Might not find the run of this race ideal.

Form: 3445-03

(2)

La Pulga²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Archie Young⁽⁷⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

17/2

Latest win at Newcastle in April. Ninth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 29 days ago. Others are more appealing.

Form: 0275-19

Esmeray³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 79

6/4

2/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 30 days ago, holding on gamely. Back up in trip. More to offer and boasts leading claims.

Form: 3213-31

Eleanor Cross⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 74

9/2

Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 73 days ago. Claims if she can build on that.

Form: 3-62238

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: H Dickin| OR: 69| D

125/1

Forecasts

Esmeray (6/4), Charging Thunder (13/8), Eleanor Cross (9/2), La Pulga (17/2), Cabrakan (50/1), Ginistrelli (125/1)

ESMERAY showed a good attitude to score at Lingfield a month ago and she has the scope for better still, so there's every chance she'll follow up at the possible expense of Charging Thunder who ran with credit at Newcastle last time. Eleanor Cross isn't fully exposed and is another one to consider.
