Late Arrival²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

10/3

C&D winner who resumed winning ways at Southwell (6f) in March. Good placed efforts on 2 of his 3 starts since, second of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. On a workable mark and he's one to consider.

Daytona Lady^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67| D

15/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 17/2) 20 days ago, staying on to lead last ½f and always holding on. 5 lb rise shouldn't prevent another good showing in this groove.

Dicko The Legend¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 67| D

8/1

Dual AW winner for Roger Ingram last year who stepped up on his yard debut effort when third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago, staying on final 1f. This mark not beyond him on that evidence.

Form: 21-2463

Motagally^b¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: C Lee| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| D

13/2

Unreliable type. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Probably needed the run after 6 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 16 days ago, no extra final 1f. Still, it's hard to know which way he'll go from that effort and others preferred.

Form: 00689-7

Macarone¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 64

8/1

Won twice on turf/AW last season and returned to action with a respectable third in an 8-runner C&D handicap in April. Some way below form when thirteenth of 19 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 15 days ago but he's not one to be writing off.

Form: 2141-30

Rain Cap^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 55| D

14/1

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, soft, 16/1) 14 days ago, seeming to find the test inadequate. Each-way possibilities from this mark.

Crack The Kode^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60| D

11/1

12/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, headway when short of room final 1f. Given a chance by the assessor.

Form: 81-5766

Variety Island^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: S Whitaker| OR: 48| D

5/2

Ended long losing run at Catterick (7f) in April. Merely ticked over in handful of starts subsequently, respectable fourth of 18 in minor event (9/1) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Another holding each-way claims.

Forecasts

Variety Island (5/2), Late Arrival (10/3), Motagally (13/2), Daytona Lady (15/2), Dicko The Legend (8/1), Macarone (8/1), Crack The Kode (11/1), Rain Cap (14/1), Spear Fir (14/1)

C&D winner LATE ARRIVAL was quickly back to form when runner-up over this trip at Thirsk 24 days ago and he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better from this sort of mark. Wetherby-scorer Daytona Lady and Dicko The Legend are others to consider. Macarone is another not to give up on if dispelling his latest effort.
