Cinnodin^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hughes| OR: 77

3/1

Good second of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (16f) 30 days ago, staying on well. Strong at the finish when third in this last year and probably set for another big run.

Form: 083562

Justus^p¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 77| CD

14/1

Won Round 1 of this series over C&D in April and struck again in 6-runner handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy, 16/5) 163 days ago. Returns with yard quiet but he's clearly of interest.

Form: 8975-11

Yorkindness¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 74| C

12/1

Course winner. 22/1, ninth of 11 in class 2 handicap at Newmarket (18f, good) 16 days ago. Good mark and usually goes well here so no surprise to see her bounce back with a big performance.

Weddell Sea^t,p¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 68

11/1

20/1, second of 11 in handicap at this course (17.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago. That was his second good run here this term and he's not dismissed.

Form: 6-25522

Glory And Honour^t⁸⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: S England| OR: 65

17/2

Fair Flat handicapper in 2023. Sold from David O'Meara £13,000 and winning hurdler/fairly useful handicap chaser for new yard, again not seen to best effect last time. Tempting mark back in this sphere and one to note.

Hardy Bloke^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

9/2

Winning staying hurdler in Ireland for Emmet Mullins. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, creditable third of 6 in handicap (28/1) at Haydock (14f, heavy) 10 days ago. This could be right up his street.

Form: 76903

100/1

Fifth of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 129 days ago. Plenty to find on form.

Form: 5/910-55

Surrey Force¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Mark Winn| T: K P De Foy| OR: 60

15/8

Fair maiden who has been running well, third of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft, 12/1) 16 days ago, nearest finish under this rider. Good chance he'll stay this much longer trip. Fine shout.

Forecasts

Surrey Force (15/8), Cinnodin (3/1), Hardy Bloke (9/2), Glory And Honour (17/2), Weddell Sea (11/1), Yorkindness (12/1), Animato (12/1), Justus (14/1), Gold Ring (100/1)

A number to consider but staying handicaps could be the making of 3-y-o SURREY FORCE and he gets the vote after another promising run at Chester recently. Cinnodin is feared, with course-regular Yorkindness and Hardy Bloke a couple of the other players.
