(1)

Altmore³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| D

6/4

Built on debut when winning 6-runner maiden at Chepstow (6.1f, good to firm) 34 days ago, going away at the finish. Opening mark looks lenient, so strong claims if he goes on this slower ground.

Form: 4-1

(3)

Game Breaker^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 76| D

9/1

Capitalised on a falling mark at Hamilton (6f, soft) last month and followed up over same C&D 14 days ago. 5 lb higher now but is a must for the shortlist.

Form: 703511

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 74| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, respectable eighth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| CD

10/1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 70| C| D

7/1

(9)

Mister Sox^p⁹

4/1

Latest win at Catterick in May. 14/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, heavy) 9 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Can make presence felt.

Form: 221244

Emily Post^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 67| CD

8/1

C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Thirsk (7f, good) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 686565

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 60

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eighth of 10 in novice at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago. Down in trip. Looks on a stiff mark for handicap debut.

Forecasts

Altmore (6/4), Mister Sox (4/1), Emperor Caradoc (7/1), Emily Post (8/1), Game Breaker (9/1), Havana Rum (10/1), Roundhay Park (12/1), Havana Pursuit (20/1), Cash In (50/1), Electric Lightning (125/1)

GAME BREAKER is thriving at the moment and has already proven herself on slow ground. She can complete the hat-trick. Altmore and Emperor Caradoc look the likeliest dangers.
