Bonne Vitesse¹⁵¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 62| D

18/1

11/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) by 2½ lengths from Tarbat Ness when last seen in May, responding well. 3 lb rise by no means the end of the world and she'll be a danger to all if ready to roll following a break.

Form: 1302-51

Captain Potter^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 59| CD

10/11

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (soft, 13/2) 27 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Tarbat Ness. Has to be taken seriously, with a 4 lb rise for that clear-cut success fair enough.

Form: 75-5631

Somebodycomegether^p1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: J Bedi| OR: 57

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 30 days ago. Significantly up in trip and now tried in cheekpieces.

Form: 4007

Malinka³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: J Candlish| OR: 62

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden on the Flat. Modest winner over hurdles. 11/2, last of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 73-677

(3)

Catrake Force¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53

25/1

Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 7/1) last time, dropping away quickly. Presumably wasn't 100% there and the fact that she is turned out again 19 days later suggests that all is well, and she would have a chance if reproducing the form of her improved Musselburgh third earlier this month.

Form: 4-66730

Bollin Neil^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51| CD

9/1

C&D winner. Well-beaten eighth of 11 to Captain Potter in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 682/808

(4)

Tarbat Ness^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Gina Mangan| T: John Berry| OR: 51| BF| D

2/1

Unreliable sort. One win from 27 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Bath (17.1f, heavy, 5/1) 19 days ago. May again find one or two too good.

Form: 236622

Gold Ring²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: N Mechie| OR: 49| C| D

40/1

Course winner. 100/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 22 days ago. One to swerve at present.

Form: 910-557

Forecasts

Captain Potter (10/11), Tarbat Ness (2/1), Bollin Neil (9/1), Malinka (11/1), Bonne Vitesse (18/1), Catrake Force (25/1), Gold Ring (40/1), Somebodycomegether (66/1)

CAPTAIN POTTER and Bonne Vitesse are very closely matched having both beaten the re-opposing Tarbat Ness by similar margins and on similar terms last time out. Preference is for Brian Ellison's charge, who gained his verdict over Tarbat Ness in a C&D handicap earlier this month and will likely hold a fitness edge over Bonne Vitesse, who has been absent since the spring. Catrake Force failed to fire last time but is probably worth another chance and she is third choice.
