6/1
Best effort of present campaign when third at Nottingham (5f) in June but shaped as if amiss when last of 9 at Doncaster (6f) 19 days ago. Type to bounce back returned to the minimum trip.

7/2
Dual 5f winner who comes here on a losing run but shaped well when third at Catterick (5f) on penultimate start in June. Raced freely and not in same form at Pontefract 16 days ago but he's one to bear in mind from his reduced mark. Tongue strap on 1st time.

2/1
Temperamental sort but thriving since fitted with blinkers and completed hat-trick in convincing fashion under today's rider at Wetherby (5.5f) 44 days ago. Handicapper applies further pressure but he has to be of interest again in present groove.

9/2
Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 16 days ago, using up energy early from a wide draw. Has fallen a long way in the weights but each of her last 2 victories have come at Musselburgh. Cheekpieces back on.

7/1
Veteran. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 10 days ago, better placed than most and staying on. Each-way possibilities.

11/1
Course winner who stepped up on her belated reappearance effort when fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 80/1) 23 days ago. Mark has fallen further and she's not one to write off for good stable.

40/1
Last of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 73 days ago, slowly away. Tongue tie goes on following wind surgery but he's got a good deal to prove on balance.

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good) 16 days ago, merely closing up late. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Yazaman (2/1), Mereside Angel (7/2), Havagomecca (9/2), J R Cavagin (6/1), Saaheq (7/1), Equity's Darling (11/1), Mr Stanley (18/1), Grandad Bob (40/1)

Verdict

YAZAMAN has been revitalised by the refitting of blinkers, completing the hat-trick with a bit to spare at Wetherby (5.5f) early last month. He looks a serious player once more and can get the 4-timer up. Mereside Angel is another to bear in mind from his reduced mark. The selection's stablemate J R Cavagin can also bounce back returned to the minimum trip.

  1. Yazaman2/1
