Able Kane^b¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ross Coakley| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| D

5/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap (7/1) at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Blinkers back on. Can get involved down in grade.

Form: 494408

Yeoman²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 71

11/4

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 22/1) 26 days ago, slowly away. Edging down to a handy mark and isn't without hope.

Form: 9-47477

Yaaser¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70| CD

85/40

C&D winner. 16/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago. Possibly just a blip last time and can make his presence felt if things go his way.

Form: 793530

Gobi Sunset^p³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: I Jardine| OR: 69| D

12/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 7 in handicap (17/2) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. On a fair mark based on what he was doing when last seen on AW, so a case can be made for him.

Form: 3U7865

Chalk Mountain²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: W S Kittow| OR: 68| D

9/2

Last of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Sandown (8f, good) 26 days ago. Had been shaping up well prior to that, so not one to write off.

Big Narstie¹³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| CD

Forecasts

Yaaser (85/40), Yeoman (11/4), Motagally (10/3), Chalk Mountain (9/2), Able Kane (5/1), Gobi Sunset (12/1), Vecchio (16/1), Big Narstie (18/1), Bossy Parker (25/1), Wyvern (40/1)

ABLE KANE wasn't quite on top of his game last time but blinkers are reapplied and this represents a drop in grade, so he's worth chancing in a tricky contest. Gobi Sunset should benefit from the return to tapeta, so he's considered a danger along with Motagally.
