Matt Cool

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: F Watson

100/1

Mattmu gelding. Closely related to winner abroad by Indesatchel and half-brother to 8.4f winner Ice Mayden. Dam of little account.

Pinsent³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: T D Barron

15/8

Improved from debut effort when fair second of 8 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 31 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Likely contender.

Form: 82

(5)

Gundogan^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 71

8/11

Fair gelding who posted another solid effort when second of 5 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Blinkers now tried for first time and holds strong claims.

Form: 82-2522

(2)

Obligatory³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

18/1

Form has gone the wrong way this season, again failing to beat a rival in 8-runner handicap (28/1) at Thirsk (5f, good) 35 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

Form: 250408

(7)

125/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in novice (150/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 77

(3)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

40/1

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden (11/1) at Catterick (6f, soft) on debut 82 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Improvement required.

Form: 5

66/1

5,000 gns foal, Land Force filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Equity's Darling. Dam, ungenuine 6f winner, half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Makanah.

Northerner^t1,p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 59

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 18/1) 7 days ago. Should appreciate the step up in trip and can give a good account. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 2-4296

Forecasts

Gundogan (8/11), Pinsent (15/8), Northerner (7/1), Obligatory (18/1), Hachiko (40/1), Sadiiki (66/1), Matt Cool (100/1), Mary Ellen Best (125/1)

The addition of blinkers could be key for GUNDOGAN, and he is taken to open his account. Pinsent looks the obvious danger on form, whilst Northerner can also make her presence felt.
