Gunlock⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| BF

14/1

Improved on belated debut form when winning at Newcastle with a bit to spare in April. Could mange only fourth of 6 in novice event at Wetherby (7f, soft, 13/8) 47 days ago and opening mark calls for more.

Form: 214

(13)

Intervention^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁷⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| D

28/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Hood back on and this is a weaker handicap than that race but feeling is that he's better on the AW than turf.

Form: 229739

(7)

Riot^t,v²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| CD

7/1

Big-field C&D winner last month and excellent 3 lengths fourth of 18 to Feel The Need in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good) 20 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 384014

(5)

The Turpinator¹³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 84| D

18/1

Landed a few bets for latest win at Newcastle in December. Sound-enough efforts after on the AW, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 131 days and has nothing in hand of current mark back on turf.

Form: 915-434

(14)

Capital Guarantee²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

28/1

Brushed aside when last of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. That was his return from 6 months off and he should last longer this time.

Form: 11159-0

(15)

Cori Glory²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: M Walford| OR: 82| D

12/1

Lightly-raced 4-y-o who was better than ever when winning 6-runner handicap (6/1) at Catterick (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Up 6 lb in a deeper race but limit may not have been reached.

Form: 26628-1

(6)

Gincident²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81

11/2

Down in the weights and stuck to his task when 2½ lengths second of 20 to Riot in handicap at this C&D (good, 33/1) 28 days ago, barely adequate test. Not taken lightly from the same mark in the hope they go hard at the head of affairs.

Form: 4-52062

Justcallmepete^b⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 81

11/1

Lower in the weights on turf and much better than the result when eleventh of 16 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 56 days ago, finishing with running left having been short of room. Now looks very interesting back over 7f.

Form: 5647-00

(9)

Hectic¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 80

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022, which was gained on debut. Best effort when third of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 8/1) 13 days ago, though he did very much have the run of the race. Enters calculations.

Form: 36-0643

(3)

Feel The Need²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Sanderson| T: M Herrington| OR: 78| CD

5/1

Had been shaping up well for in-form yard and put it together to win 18-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 12/1) 20 days ago, driven out. Wasn't the best away on that occasion and hasn't always looked straightforward but he's of interest on that display.

Form: 05-5621

(10)

Judgment Call¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Tommie Jakes⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 77| D

20/1

Successful twice in handicap company last season and excellent return to action when second of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 33/1) 13 days ago. Had the run of race on that occasion and dominating this field not as easy.

Form: 12394-2

(2)

The Cookstown Cafu^b1¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: O McSweeney| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76| D

6/1

Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Doncaster (8f, good) 14 days ago. Blinkers on first time and should be at full fitness down. Dangerous to rule out given his current mark.

Form: 4080-06

(11)

Bicep⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Planas| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 76| D

40/1

Good return to action when finding only one too good at Southwell in March. Isn't easy to predict though and was twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 59 days ago. Others more persuasive back on turf.

Form: 0150-20

(16)

Yaaser¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 74| D

40/1

Ninth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 28/1) 13 days ago, having hopeless task from position. That effort easy to excuse but he needs to step up plenty.

Form: 4147-79

(8)

Tolstoy²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 74

18/1

Unreliable individual. 22/1, bit below form tenth of 21 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shapes as though worth a go at 7f, at least.

Form: 9495-50

(12)

Snash^p,h⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69

25/1

Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Haydock (6f, firm) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and return to 7f in his favour.

Form: 010-786

Forecasts

Feel The Need (5/1), Hectic (11/2), Gincident (11/2), The Cookstown Cafu (6/1), Riot (7/1), Justcallmepete (11/1), Cori Glory (12/1), Gunlock (14/1), Tolstoy (18/1), The Turpinator (18/1), Judgment Call (20/1), Snash (25/1), Intervention (28/1), Capital Guarantee (28/1), Yaaser (40/1), Bicep (40/1)

The really interesting one here is JUSTCALLMEPETE, who lurks on a very dangerous turf mark and got no luck at Newbury last time. The return to 7f will suit so he's awarded the vote in favour of Riot, Gincident and Feel The Need.
