Faro De San Juan^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 78| D

11/2

Last of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy) 18 days ago on first run following a breathing operation. Was drawn wide and that was his first run for 7 months so better expected here.

Form: 86494-0

Lil Guff¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 77| BF| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, firm) 11 days ago. Rather in-and-out this season but this is a slight drop in class.

Form: 785037

Crimson Angel²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

5/2

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 22 days ago, never nearer having missed the break. Issues at the stalls remain a concern.

Form: 29-3425

Abolish^v1¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64| D

11/2

14/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Visor replaces cheekpieces and he's of interest.

Form: 944264

My Delilah⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 60| BF| CD

10/3

C&D winner who again shaped nicely when second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at this course (5f, firm) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there from the same mark upped slightly in trip.

Form: 6366-42

Forecasts

Crimson Angel (5/2), Lil Guff (3/1), My Delilah (10/3), Abolish (11/2), Faro De San Juan (11/2), The Coffee Pod (6/1)

MY DELILAH has been threatening to come good for a while now and with this slight step up in trip sure to suit, she makes plenty of appeal. Lil Gulf usually runs in better races than this so she's feared, along with Crimson Angel.
