14/1, turned in a rare poor effort when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 12 days ago. Fancied to bounce back quickly.

Lindwall^t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Ms S Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

13/2

22/1, ran better than might have been expected on first outing since leaving Tom Lacey when third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, good) 2 weeks ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and can build on that effort.

Form: 11025/3

Zephlyn¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr Eireann Cagney| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 59

9/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in March. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ran poorly after 3 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Hamilton (13.1f, good) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that outing.

Form: 312217

Mrs Meader²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 59

13/2

22/1, ran better than on reappearance (after 13 weeks off) when eighth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, keeping on when not clear run over 1f out. Now 5 lb below her last winning mark so would be folly to discount.

Form: 5240-08

Course winner but yet to threaten this season, twelfth of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Cuban Cigar^b,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Margot Scudamore⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 51

9/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Has been running consistently well over hurdles and wasn't disgraced back on the Flat when fourth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Hamilton (13.1f, good) 2 weeks ago. One to consider.

Form: 5356/7-4

Sir Joseph Swan¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 50

14/1

Took a small step back in the right direction when fourth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (11.9f, good to firm, 10/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Given a chance by the handicapper.

Form: 18-0084

Fast Deal²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss A Bowers-Carter⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 27 Flat runs. Well held returned to this sphere from just out of the handicap at Ripon (12f, good, 33/1) 3 weeks ago. Up in trip. Looks an easy swerve.

Form: 7/89-888

Forecasts

Marbuzet (2/1), Cuban Cigar (9/2), Champagne City (11/2), Grifter (11/2), Lindwall (13/2), Mrs Meader (13/2), Cherry Cola (7/1), Zephlyn (9/1), Sir Joseph Swan (14/1), Milltown Lily (20/1), Fast Deal (50/1)

This looks open so it could be worth taking a chance on MRS MEADER, who ran better than on reappearance when fifth at Nottingham last month and is now 5 lb below her last winning mark. Cuban Cigar is a long time without a win, but he can give the selection most to think about following an encouraging return to this sphere a fortnight ago. Marbuzet and Sir Joseph Swan can get involved, too.
