Bernadine^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 65| D

8/1

20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Handicapper has afforded her a chance and drops back down into class 6 company now. Worth considering.

Form: 7-34785

Andromedas Kingdom³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Appleby| OR: 65| D

5/1

Thriving mare who made it 3 wins from 4 starts this year when landing 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 7/2) 36 days ago. Career-high mark demands more but she's very much of interest again in this groove.

Form: 14-1121

(10)

Top Of The Class^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Edward Greatrex| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 65| D

16/1

Proved all the better with a run behind her/cheekpieces refitted when shedding the maiden tag in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (1m) 15 days ago, leading inside final 1f and going clear. Respected with a repeat for all her very best efforts have come on all weather.

Form: 502-371

Renesmee²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A J Farragher| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 64| D

17/2

14/1, off 4 months prior to good fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 21 days ago, not clear run over 2f out and keeping on inside final 1f. Has fallen to a lenient mark and she's one to bear in mind on the back that effort.

Form: 0-43774

(4)

Anglo Saxson²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: P Owens| OR: 64| D

11/2

Good third of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 21 days ago, that despite being forced into a change of tactics after a tardy start. Reliable oeprator on the whole and likely he can feature.

Form: 314-363

(9)

Hostelry^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| D

10/1

Began present campaign with a bang, forging clear to land 12-runner Thirsk handicap (1m, heavy) in April. Largely creditable efforts in defeat prior to not being seen to best effect at Pontefract last time and her mark is steadily easing.

Form: 372637

Copper And Five²⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May. Sixth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at this course (8f, good to firm) 26 days ago, weakening last ½f. Consistency hasn't proved his strong point so far this term.

Form: 0-00166

(11)

Man Of A'An²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 63

40/1

40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 22 days ago, no extra final 1f. More needed if he's to shed the maiden tag here.

Form: 33-7945

(12)

Yoshimi^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 62

18/1

Tasted success during 2023 but he's yet to fire this term, last of 11 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 12/1) 19 days ago, shaken up under 3f out and soon beaten. Assessor continues to relinquish his grip but others make greater appeal.

Bowood³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 62

16/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, held when short of room inside final 1f. Steps back up in trip on debut for new stable here. Headgear discarded.

Form: 376847

Strangerontheshore³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 60| D

18/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Redcar (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago, always behind. Others make greater appeal judged on balance of this season's efforts.

Form: 51-4990

(14)

Back From Dubai¹⁷³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: K Frost| OR: 58| CD

66/1

C&D winner. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in February, in rear throughout. Absent since and the market is likely to prove the best guide on return to action/back on turf.

Form: 604-258

(7)

Adelabella¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 58

7/2

Yet to score but she ran up to her previous best despite being caught wider than ideal when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (1m, 11/2) 18 days ago, no extra final 50 yds. Not discounted.

Form: 547535

Fortuitous Star^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Richard Oliver| T: M Walford| OR: 48

66/1

Placed twice in handicaps for Grant Tuer last summer. Left that yard after a poor run at Southwell in February and easy to back, may have needed it after 4 months off when eighth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 15 days ago. Still, others more persuasive.

Form: 3255-88

Forecasts

Adelabella (7/2), Andromedas Kingdom (5/1), Anglo Saxson (11/2), Bernadine (8/1), Renesmee (17/2), Copper And Five (9/1), Hostelry (10/1), Bowood (16/1), Top Of The Class (16/1), Strangerontheshore (18/1), Yoshimi (18/1), Man Of A'An (40/1), Fortuitous Star (66/1), Back From Dubai (66/1)

BERNADINE took a definite step back in the right direction equipped with a first-time tongue strap (retained here) when fifth at Lingfield 16 days ago and, having fallen back down into class 6 company, she could just be worth siding with to build on that from her easing mark. Renesmee caught the eye after a break at Yarmouth and is worth considering. Thriving mare Andromedas Kingdom and Anglo Saxson complete the shortlist.
