Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| C

9/4

9/1, won 6-runner event at this course (7f, soft) 44 days ago, wearing down one who had gone on the bridle for a fair bit longer. She can do better still now handicapping up in trip.

Form: 41

Carolus Magnus^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| D

7/2

Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, bit below form sixth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, never nearer. Certainly retains the ability to score from this reduced mark but is a difficult sort to win with and made life hard for himself last time.

Form: 960-866

Victoria Falls^v²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: H Palmer| OR: 75| D

4/1

Won a pair of turf handicaps at the end of last summer. Good second of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 23 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 1128-72

100/1

French maiden winner but little to shout about over here, off 8 months and fifteenth of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago.

15/2

3/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen. Off 7 months. Inconsistent and tricky to make a case for on return.

Ciotog²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 68| D

18/1

Dual 1m winner at Bath in 2023. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Becoming well treated.

Form: 8-32346

12/1

17/2, won 11-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope up 3 lb and merits consideration.

Forecasts

Own Accord (9/4), Carolus Magnus (7/2), Victoria Falls (4/1), Reidh (15/2), Mount King (10/1), Copper And Five (12/1), Covert Legend (12/1), Beltane (16/1), Jack Daniel (16/1), Ciotog (18/1), Cavalluccio (22/1), Naval Academy (100/1)

COVERT LEGEND was an eye-catcher at Thirsk 3 weeks ago, not clear run on more than one occasion and finishing on the bridle, and he's worth another chance given he's lightly raced on turf. Unexposed Own Accord, Copper And Five and Victoria Falls are dangers.
