5/1

Has improved since tongue tied and switched to handicaps, winning a pair of 1m course handicaps either side of a good third at Hamilton. Good chance if seeing out the longer trip.

Form: 25-5131

Yaajooz^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75

5/1

Made the most of a good opportunity when opening his account in 5-runner handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 10/11) 15 days ago. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey and worth a try at this longer trip.

Form: 3-24391

Expected Arrival²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: K P De Foy| OR: 74

11/2

Bettered her 2-y-o form under a positive ride when second in a 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (10f) on return and ran as well switched to turf when third of 7 on handicap debut at Windsor (10f) last month. Should remain competitive.

Form: 53-23

Lake Teo¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 74

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who ran creditably when second of 8 in a 10f novice at Windsor (good to firm) 12 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Into handicaps now and needs more from her opening mark.

17/2

Showed a good attitude to get off the mark in a Lingfield maiden (9f, good to firm) in May. However, turned in a rather underwhelming display on handicap debut at Wolverhampton since.

16/5

Settled better than usual when opening his account in the mud here (1m) in April and has run at least as well in defeat all 3 outings since. Must enter calculations.

Salik²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 69

11/1

Just fair form in 4 runs so far, failing to improve on his handicap debut when fifth of 7 at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 26 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Eased 3 lb.

Forecasts

Amancio (16/5), Lake Teo (4/1), Miaswell (5/1), Yaajooz (5/1), King's Scholar (5/1), Expected Arrival (11/2), Loveable Rogue (17/2), Salik (11/1)

AMANCIO is a most consistent sort who is proven at the trip, so he appeals as the most solid option. Yaajooz made the most of a good opportunity at Thirsk last time and ought to be competitive back in a handicap for his new yard providing he gets home over this longer distance, with Expected Arrival another to consider.
