Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| CD

6/4

Cashed in on a career-low mark on reappearance over C&D in April. Largely respectable efforts since, fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. This rates more suitable returned to class 6 company.

Form: 144355

Alafdhal⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E Cagney| T: P S McEntee| OR: 60| D

7/1

Successful 3 times this year, latterly at Pontefract (5f, heavy) in April, and confirmed he's back in good heart of late, runner-up back at that venue 6 days ago. Operating from a handy mark and he's one to be interested in.

Papa Don't Preach⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Lauren Frost⁽⁵⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 60| D

14/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 6/1) 6 days ago. Has fallen a long way in the weights but losing run does temper enthusiasm.

Form: 7-94635

King Of The Jungle¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58| CD

7/2

C&D winner. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. Proved as good as ever when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago. Shortlisted from 3 lb higher mark with forecast conditions very much in his favour.

Form: 255741

Mr Trick^p²⁰⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Katie Martin⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53

50/1

Both victories for this yard have come on all weather, the latest at Chelmsford (10f) in December. Running respectably when last seen earlier this year and whilst he's significantly down in trip on return, he has won over 6f previously. Market should guide.

Form: 4-58385

Fortunate Star²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 53| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 22 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Handicapper has given him a chance.

Foreseeable Future^v¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss C Parker⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 50| D

10/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 17 days ago, weakening final 1f. Has knocked on the door on several occasions previously this term and he's not dismissed lightly here.

Redshore City^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Jessica Llewellyn⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 46

14/1

One win from 29 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 15 in handicap (12/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago, nearest finish. Needs to build on that run now.

Forecasts

Object (6/4), King Of The Jungle (7/2), Fortunate Star (11/2), Alafdhal (7/1), Sirius White (8/1), Foreseeable Future (10/1), Redshore City (14/1), Papa Don't Preach (14/1), Endowed (20/1), Tommytwohoots (50/1), Mr Trick (50/1), Captain Bentley (66/1)

ALAFDHAL confirmed his return to form when again finding only one too good at Pontefract 6 days ago and he looks a big player once more having fallen to a handy mark. King of The Jungle following his Thirsk victory rates the chief threat, ahead of Object and Foreseeable Future.
