Twitch^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 60| CD

11/10

Off the mark for current yard when taking C&D handicap last month and improved on that when taking 12-runner handicap here (7f) 14 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and looks the one to beat.

Form: 459211

Big Narstie^t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 60| D

33/1

Quirky sort. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. 28/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Others more appealing.

Form: 135070

Glen Esk¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 60

150/1

Failed to beat a rival home in both starts since returning from a long absence.

Form: 4383/00

Wilde And Dandy³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 59| CD

9/2

C&D winner. 28/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Leicester (6f, soft) 32 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Work to do.

Form: 1824-09

Drafted^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: D Brooke| OR: 59| D

9/2

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 5/1) 11 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 4-60878

Alexander James^t,p³³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 58| D

8/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, last of 6 in claimer at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 332606

(7)

Dumfries^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56

15/2

Been cut plenty of slack by the assessor and ran well, in first-time blinkers, when third of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Form: 506083

(9)

Nubough^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: M Pattinson| OR: 56| C

66/1

Course winner. 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 540068

(8)

Nemorum^b²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: A J Farragher| T: T Kent| OR: 46| CD

33/1

C&D winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 41900-8

(5)

Arlo's Sunshine⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 45| D

80/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 40 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John E. Long. 1 lb out of the weights. Likely best watched.

Form: 930455

Forecasts

Twitch (11/10), Lady Wingalong (11/4), Wilde And Dandy (9/2), Drafted (9/2), Dumfries (15/2), Alexander James (8/1), Nemorum (33/1), Big Narstie (33/1), Nubough (66/1), Arlo's Sunshine (80/1), Glen Esk (150/1)

TWITCH showed a good attitude when landing his second consecutive C&D victory a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated. He can complete the hat-trick. Lady Wingalong and Dumfries are feared most.
