The Bitter Moose²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 76| D

15/2

Dual winner on all-weather and ran creditably when third of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (7.6f, good) 4 weeks ago, keeping on once in clear inside final 1f. Can give another good account.

Form: 511-533

Smart Vision^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 75| D

8/1

Winner at Newcastle in February. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, settled better ridden from the front back sprinting when third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 23 days ago. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark.

Form: 43-1903

(4)

Fihrayn⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon| OR: 74

10/1

Isn't improving with experience, looking awkward when last of 6 in handicap (8/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) just over 6 weeks ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere after that.

Form: 445-96

(6)

Marmaduke Lemon^b1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 74

13/2

Shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when fourth of 8 on turf/handicap debut at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 8 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Fancied to feature.

Form: 0-2364

Ingleby Ivy²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 73

20/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago. Mark eases another 2 lb.

Form: 417-064

(14)

Bazball^v⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

33/1

16/1, again showed little refitted with his usual visor when ninth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good) just under 8 weeks ago.

Form: 42-3079

(8)

Welcome Dream²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 72

9/1

9/1, again ran poorly when seventh of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) earlier this month. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 623-357

(3)

Bella Bisbee¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

16/1

16/1, showed her form for the first time this season when fourth of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 2 weeks ago. Her task is now to build on that.

Form: 21-4984

(13)

Brindley¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 70

8/1

25/1, too free when eighth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut and every chance he will take a big step forward from this opening mark.

Form: 8-88

(10)

Indivar^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| BF

9/2

2/1, failed to land a gamble but ran up to his best nonetheless when third of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go well again.

Form: 51-3073

(9)

Eco Power Boy³¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 69WS

22/1

Wasn't in the same form under more positive tactics than previously when eighth of 13 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 18/1) 10 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Seb Spencer. Makes handicap debut and has had a wind op.

Form: 0458-

(5)

Alfie Boy²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

10/1

Winner at Redcar in May. Ran creditably under a penalty when fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good, 15/2) just over 3 weeks ago. Solid each-way claims.

Form: 076-614

(2)

Triggerman²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 67

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, too free when sixth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, no extra entering final 1f. Headgear left off this time.

Form: 920-46

(11)

Body Parts³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: G Tutty| OR: 65| D

20/1

Latest win at Southwell in April. 16/1, wasn't seen to best effect given where she raced when 9¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Alfie Boy in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft) 32 days ago.

Form: 013717

Forecasts

Indivar (9/2), Marmaduke Lemon (13/2), The Bitter Moose (15/2), Smart Vision (8/1), Brindley (8/1), Welcome Dream (9/1), Alfie Boy (10/1), Fihrayn (10/1), Bella Bisbee (16/1), Triggerman (20/1), Body Parts (20/1), Ingleby Ivy (20/1), Eco Power Boy (22/1), Bazball (33/1)

Plenty in with chances but the vote goes to BRINDLEY, who hasn't shown a great deal in his 3 runs to date but is bred to be useful and could prove a different proposition now sent down the handicap route. Alfie Boy arrives in top form so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Indivar and Marmaduke Lemon another couple worth considering, also.
