2/1

Going through a good spell at present, making it back-to-back wins when scoring in 9-runner minor event (3/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago by ½ length from Shaka. Leading contender in his current mood.

Barossa^p³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 45

15/2

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Below form on turf last 2 starts, seventh of 10 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 39 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to all-weather.

John Kirkup⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 45

14/1

Placed on 3 of his last 4 starts, running respectably when third of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Task is now to transfer that form back on to all-weather.

Form: 563373

Parr Fire²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 46

10/1

Sole victory came on debut back in 2022. Hasn't built on her encouraging seasonal/stable debut, eighth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 24 days ago. However, she's not written off at this level.

Form: 379-588

Rockin Rosa^p³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 49| CD

10/3

Only win came at this C&D last summer. Run best excused when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 36 days ago, not ideally drawn. In good heart previously so she's one to note dropped in grade.

Form: 393330

Secret Daay^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Robinson| T: D Thompson| OR: 44

25/1

Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Ran no sort of race when last of 12 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft, 28/1) 17 days ago. Others preferred.

See My Baby Jive³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 46

22/1

Form: 27-8690

(8)

Shaka¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 49

9/2

Produced his best effort when ½-length second of 9 to Split Elevens in minor event (7/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, albeit suited by way race developed. Remains a maiden but he enters calculations.

Form: 83U752

(2)

Spanish Saint²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: N G Richards| OR: 46

22/1

Fit from his hurdling debut, never a threat when eighth of 14 in minor event at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 20 days ago. Has something to find as he makes tapeta debut.

Form: 0/797-8

Forecasts

Split Elevens (2/1), Rockin Rosa (10/3), Shaka (9/2), Barossa (15/2), Parr Fire (10/1), John Kirkup (14/1), Bernie The Bear (16/1), See My Baby Jive (22/1), Spanish Saint (22/1), Secret Daay (25/1), Storm Master (50/1)

SPLIT ELEVENS backed up his previous effort when winning at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and he can continue his good run of form to land the hat-trick. The main danger could be Rockin Rosa, who is worth another chance having been left poorly placed on her latest outing, with Shaka also considered.
