17/2

C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 7/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, good) 41 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 522-716

11/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 17 days ago, well positioned. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Each-way claims.

Form: 7-41836

(4)

Another Baar^t¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: A Keatley| OR: 75

50/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to recommend.

Form: 3040-00

Darwell Lion³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: S H James| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 74| D

25/1

18/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive.

Form: 985069

Bowman¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: J Garritty| T: D Brooke| OR: 71| BF| CD

9/2

Took advantage of drop in weights over C&D in April and has run creditably in defeat twice since, latest when second of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 15 days ago. Likely contender.

Form: 876122

(6)

Sea The Dream²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: E Bethell| OR: 78| D

2/1

Off the mark on return at Thirsk (7f) in April and back to that sort of form when good second of 19 in handicap (8/1) at York (7f, good) 24 days ago, running on. Can race off same mark and is one for shortlist.

Form: 333-152

(3)

Mister Sox^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| CD

10/3

Made it 2 wins from 2 starts at this course when taking 9-runner handicap (6f, soft) 18 days ago, suited by way race developed. 4 lb higher now but another bold bid is on the cards.

Form: 43-9221

(10)

Diddy Man²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 75| BF| D

13/2

Chasing a hat-trick when below par at York latest but is best not judged on that run and any further rain would aid his cause.

Form: 824-110

(5)

Front Gunner³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 72

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 435-40

Non-Runners

Fortamour¹³

Weight: 10-0| Age: 8

T: B Haslam J: Cieren Fallon

Forecasts

Sea The Dream (2/1), Mister Sox (10/3), Fortamour (7/2), Bowman (9/2), Diddy Man (13/2), Legal Reform (17/2), Woodstock (11/1), Darwell Lion (25/1), Front Gunner (28/1), Another Baar (50/1)

Preference is for SEA THE DREAM, who got back on track at York last month and remains fairly treated. Bowman and Mister Sox are feared most.
