9/1

Veteran who enhanced his good Newcastle record with back-to-back 6f victories earlier this year. A while since he last tasted success on turf but best not judged too harshly on his latest run at Leicester run 24 days ago (slipped leaving stalls). Worth a look.

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 52 days ago, possibly in need of the run after 3 months off. Not one to give up on.

Form: 464226

Placed on 2 of last 3 starts and best not judged too harshly on latest eighth of 14 in handicap at Beverley (5f) 39 days ago, short of room soon after start. One to consider stepping back up in trip.

Hard Solution^v⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 45| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 33/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 days ago, staying on final 1f. Slow starts often a concern with him.

Pink Stripes^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Elisha Whittington⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

66/1

Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 40/1, third of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 32 days ago, left poorly placed after meeting with trouble early. Not sure to be in same form here.

Form: 796643

(7)

Kyber Crystal^t³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: R Menzies| OR: 45WS

5/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. but she did turn in best effort of the campaign when creditable third of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Good pace to aim at here will aid her cause operating from basement mark. Had wind op.

Form: 664663

(12)

Tees Douge¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 48

18/1

Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 12 in minor event at this course (5f, good to firm, 7/1) 14 days ago.

Form: 654396

(11)

Grid Iron Maiden²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Russell| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

33/1

Maiden who shaped better than distance beaten suggests when seventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (5f) 22 days ago, not clear run under 2f out and keeping on last ½f. Needs to build on that effort now.

Form: 369407

Forecasts

Mrs Trump (5/2), Urban Dandy (4/1), Kyber Crystal (5/1), Dollarindex (5/1), Ignac Lamar (17/2), Athollblair Boy (9/1), Hard Solution (16/1), Tees Douge (18/1), Miss Rainbow (25/1), Grid Iron Maiden (33/1), The Princes Poet (66/1), Pink Stripes (66/1)

A dual winner already this term, MRS TRUMP has essentially held her form well in defeat subsequently and, with the return to this longer trip worth exploring, she could be the answer. Athollblair Boy and Kyber Crystal are others to consider, as is Urban Dandy in a trappy finale.
