Fools Rush In^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 72| D

10/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 14/1) 9 days ago. Tumbling in the weights but need to see more before considering him.

Arkenstaar¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 71| D

11/2

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 15/8, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 19 days ago, all out. Up 4 lb but he displayed a willing attitude and he's clearly in excellent nick.

Form: 751-311

6/1

Shaped as though back in good nick when fourth of 16 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back down in trip and one to consider eased in class with ground conditions in his favour.

Form: 50-3784

Jkr Cobbler¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| C

4/1

Racked up a hat-trick at Ayr last summer and just about a career best when winning 10-runner handicap (12/1) at this course (6.9f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Major player up just 2 lb.

Form: 13234-1

Forecasts

Alpine Sierra (4/1), Jkr Cobbler (4/1), Arkenstaar (11/2), Bushfire (6/1), Golden Melody (13/2), Helter Skelter (15/2), Fools Rush In (10/1), Dumfries (10/1), Arranmore (25/1), Too Much (125/1)

BUSHFIRE could be the way to go here having finished fourth in a better handicap than this a fortnight ago with the combination of a drop in trip and easing ground conditions in his favour. Jkr Cobbler and Arkenstaar are last-time-out winners and have to command serious respect.
