Dandy Dinmont⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 72| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, ran one of lesser races when sixth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 9 days ago. Must bounce back.

Form: 538-246

Minnesota Lad²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

7/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Wasted no time getting back on track and unlucky not to finish a little closer when fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (6f, firm, 6/1) 3 weeks ago, hampered approaching last ½f. Can build on that.

Form: 402-394

Bright¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 72| D

10/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Probably remained in form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 17 days ago, held when short of room final 50 yds.

Form: 3-15768

Delagate This Lord²⁷⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 72| D

18/1

Had a good season at Bath last year, winning 3 times. 7/1, run best excused given his draw/track position when last of 13 in handicap there (5.7f, soft) 9 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland and this veteran is worth a market check.

Form: 4/11610-

Master Dandy³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 71| D

6/1

Possibly needed the run making turf debut after 3 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (7f, soft) just over 5 weeks ago. May well build on that effort.

Form: 31-295

Crypto Quest³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Tutty| OR: 71| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 4/1, attracted support but failed to repeat previous effort when fifth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) just under 6 weeks ago. Down in grade so plenty to like with Rossa Ryan an eye-catching jockey booking.

Form: 727525

Havana Pursuit²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| D

18/1

Always behind after 8 months off when last of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. His best form last year came when ridden much closer to the pace so no surprise to see positive tactics reemployed.

Form: 16816-9

Showtime Mahomes¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| D

5/1

Again flattered to deceive when push came to shove when fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 9/2) 18 days ago. Back on a workable mark but seemingly isn't one to rely on in the heat of battle.

Form: 53-5565

(7)

J R Cavagin²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 66| BF| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Well-backed 3/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 26 days ago. Solid each-way claims.

Form: 281-773

Forecasts

Minnesota Lad (7/2), Crypto Quest (7/2), Showtime Mahomes (5/1), Master Dandy (6/1), Dandy Dinmont (8/1), J R Cavagin (9/1), Bright (10/1), Golden Duke (12/1), Havana Pursuit (18/1), Delagate This Lord (18/1)

A competitive opener in which the suggestion is CRYPTO QUEST, who has hit the crossbar a couple of times already this year and the booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye. Minnesota Lad looked unlucky not to finish a little closer at Haydock earlier this month, so he heads up the opposition, with last year's surprise winner Golden Duke and J R Cavagin rounding off the shortlist.
