Beauld As Brass¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Watson| T: George Baker| OR: 59| C

10/1

Unreliable type. 13/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 13 days ago, suited by strong pace. One or two of these are more appealing from a win point of view.

The Pug⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 57| D

22/1

Unreliable type. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 16/5) 69 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Sylvester Kirk and he's probably worth taking on.

11/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Shouldn't be too far away.

25/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 67 days ago, never nearer. No more than an each-way squeak.

Forecasts

Solanna (6/4), Hawa Jumeirah (8/1), Fiddlers Green (9/1), Beauld As Brass (10/1), Torbellino (10/1), Major Major (11/1), Highland Slipper (11/1), Meisterzinger (14/1), Celebrating Ethel (20/1), Devizes (22/1), The Pug (22/1), Nasim (25/1), Forest Haze (25/1), Dogged (28/1)

A chance is taken on MEISTERZINGER, who has failed to trouble the judge in two starts since returning from a lengthy absence last month and he has edged back to the mark off which he was successful over this C&D last June. Solanna is pretty consistent and is next on the list ahead of Major Major.
