Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 69| CD

4/1

Three-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good) 6 days ago, well positioned. Another bold show likely under a penalty.

Sibyl Charm¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 71

17/2

Three wins from 12 runs this year. Hooded for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip and she looks vulnerable.

Form: 475509

5/1

C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/1) 9 days ago. Likely to find a few too good.

50/1

Fifth of 7 in nursery (4/1) at Newcastle (5f) on final 2-y-o start. Probably best watched starting out for new yard following a 10-month absence.

Form: 434355-

Travel Candy^p,t³⁶

20/1

C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at York (5.4f, good to firm, 50/1) 36 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark but others preferred all the same.

Form: 271-908

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 446526

(6)

Let's Go Hugo¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 64| D

10/1

Latest win at Newcastle in April. Creditable length third of 10 to Opal Storm in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. One to consider.

Form: 144423

(9)

Opal Storm^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 58| CD

12/1

13/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago by ¾ length from Sound Reason, driven out. 4 lb rise demands more but she shouldn't be far away.

Form: 442621

Forecasts

Frank The Spark (18/5), Emeralds Pride (4/1), Mattice (5/1), Miss Brazen (11/2), Sibyl Charm (17/2), Let's Go Hugo (10/1), Sound Reason (12/1), Opal Storm (12/1), Travel Candy (20/1), Show Me Show Me (33/1), Lady Nunthorpe (50/1)

FRANK THE SPARK took another step forward when scoring in decisive fashion at Nottingham recently and a 6 lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Fellow last-time-out winner Emeralds Pride looks a big threat having accounted for 15 rivals in good style over C&D last weekend. Let's Go Hugo was behind Opal Storm and Sounds Reason here earlier this month but he is taken to reverse the placings with those rivals this time and he is third choice.
