Code Purple¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: B Haslam| OR: 60| D

15/8

15/2, bounced back to form from a career-low mark when won 10-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 12 days ago, making all. 6 lb higher and should give another good account.

Form: 588-891

Makalu⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| D

5/4

3 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Beverley in June. 10/3, ran at least as well in defeat when second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, edged out post (traded at 1.01 in running). Major claims from the same mark with yard amongst the winners.

Concert Boy³⁵

14/1

Eighteen runs since sole win in 2023. Below form when ninth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 5 weeks ago, missing break. Career-low mark to work with today if able to bounce back.

Global Humor^b¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| CD

6/1

Unreliable sort. 3-time C&D winner. 11/2, sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Solid each-way claims.

28/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, continued out of sorts when fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yet to prove himself on turf so best watched.

Forecasts

Makalu (5/4), Code Purple (15/8), Global Humor (6/1), Triple Force (12/1), Sassy Glory (12/1), Concert Boy (14/1), Tickets (25/1), Zachary (28/1), Onthebunny (40/1)

MAKALU arrives ion the form of his life and with Ruth Carr enjoying something of a purple patch at present, he's fancied to notch a fourth success of the year at the expense of Code Purple, who cashed in on career-low mark at Musselburgh earlier in the month and remains well treated on old form. The enigmatic Global Humor can edge out Concert Boy for third spot.
