7/1

28/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, keeping on from over 1f out. That was her first start for 9 months and she could step forward from that effort.

Form: 41019-5

5/2

Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, not seen to best effect when 3¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Rum Runner in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, staying on last ½f having had to wait for a gap. Needs considering.

Form: 20-5425

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51

12/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, last of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Back up in trip.

Entrecasteaux^t1²⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 50

40/1

Gregorian gelding who finished nearer last than first all 4 starts as a juvenile. Tongue strap goes on for return but significant step forward required if he's to figure after 9 months off.

Form: 0790-

Alice's Impact³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 48

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 36 days ago, staying on to be nearest at the finish. Remains far less exposed than most and this stiff finish ought to play to her strengths on that evidence.

Form: 688-94

(5)

Battleofbaltimore^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 47

8/1

Seventh of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 18/1) 7 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others more persuasive returned to turf.

Form: 808457

Alextrician⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45

11/1

Showed encouraging signs in handicaps on AW/turf earlier this year but proved disappointing with cheekpieces applied (discarded here) when eighth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, firm, 12/1) 65 days ago. Still, not one to write off.

Forecasts

Clotherholme (5/2), Rum Runner (3/1), Alice's Impact (6/1), Elettaria (7/1), Gordonstoun (7/1), Battleofbaltimore (8/1), Alextrician (11/1), Chat Up Line (12/1), Timely Chance (28/1), Entrecasteaux (40/1)

Having almost ended a losing run on his penultimate start, CLOTHERHOLME again wasn't seen to best effect when fifth behind re-opposing Rum Runner in a C&D event 17 days ago. He gets the nod to turn the tables on that rival, with Alice's Impact, who is by far one of the least exposed, another fancied to play a lead role.
