Corsican Caper²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: K Frost| OR: 65| D

11/1

Five wins from 20 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 22 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in class and one to consider.

Dark Agent²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 60

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice at this course (10.2f, 300/1) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip and could do better now handicapping.

Form: 898-

Breccia^p,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R Stephens| OR: 58

3/1

14/1, won 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 15 days ago, well ridden. Unlucky runner-up won next time so she isn't out of things up 4 lb.

Form: 63/4281-

Star Of Markinch²⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 47

14/1

Maiden. Good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 20 days ago, not settling properly in a modestly-run race and having to pick her way through in the straight. Bit more needed in this.

Form: 953472-

(7)

Typewritten^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 46

14/1

Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Good fourth of 12 in minor event at this course (12.4f, 80/1) 8 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 95900-4

Forecasts

Zivaniya (3/1), Breccia (3/1), Liberated Lad (10/3), Socialist Agenda (10/1), Bamboo Bay (11/1), Corsican Caper (11/1), Typewritten (14/1), Star Of Markinch (14/1), Dark Agent (14/1)

Several interesting ones in this class 6 handicap, with LIBERATED LAD chanced after shaping better on his return to 2m at Wolverhampton last time. Corsican Caper, Breccia and Zivaniya also make some appeal.
