3/1

C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago, always holding on. 6 lb penalty to carry now but must enter calculations.

9/2

9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others look better treated.

6/1

Nearest at the finish when creditable second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 10 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit and merits consideration.

Monhammer¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Vincent C Y Ho| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 65| CD

12/1

Petra Celera²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 68| D

16/1

Posted career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 20 days ago, overcoming pace bias. 3 lb rise fair and another bold is on the cards.

Form: 4-54771

Forecasts

Giorgio M (3/1), Judgment Call (4/1), Angel Of England (9/2), Rory (6/1), Rapido Girl (13/2), Monhammer (12/1), Petra Celera (16/1), B Associates (18/1), Ahamoment (18/1), Fletchers Dream (33/1)

PETRA CELERA returned to winning ways at Thirsk earlier this month and remains on a workable mark. She can follow up. Giorgio M and Rory rate the principal dangers.
