Green Team^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

7/2

Has drawn a blank since winning an Ayr novice back in autumn 2021 but he has finished second over C&D on his last 2 outings, going down by only a nose 11 days ago. Has to enter the reckoning.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: I Furtado| OR: 64| CD

9/1

Three-time C&D winner, the latest when last seen in April. Much depends on whether he's fully primed after 8 months off.

Form: 161351-

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 63| C

Dark Mystery^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: H Crouch| T: B Brookhouse| OR: 62| BF

7/2

One win from 24 Flat runs but runner-up 3 times on AW in 2024, going down by only a neck to the reopposing Alfheim over C&D last month. Ought to be in the mix again.

Form: 342372-

Blue Sky Boy³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: P Attwater| OR: 63

9/2

Fair form on debut but has yet to build on it, including well held on 1¼m Newcastle handicap debut last month. The significantly longer trip needs to spark improvement.

Form: 4987-

Alfheim^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 63| CD

6/1

Yet another to thrive for the switch to George Boughey and on a course hat-trick after a pair of wins last month, latterly by a neck from the reopposing Dark Mystery. Taken to defy the handicapper again.

Forecasts

Dark Mystery (7/2), Green Team (7/2), Blue Sky Boy (9/2), Hill Station (9/2), Alfheim (6/1), Lawmans Blis (9/1), Wanderlust (12/1), Le Rouge Chinois (20/1), It's A Love Thing (20/1)

ALFHEIM could have even more to come for the Boughey yard and is taken to confirm recent C&D superiority over Dark Mystery. Green Team looks best of the rest.
