Ravensbourne^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Michael Keady| OR: 55

13/2

11/2, won a 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 14 days ago, making all under a positive ride from today's jockey. Up 3lb but should go well again if seeing out this longer trip.

Form: 5033-31

(7)

Impeach^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: R Menzies| OR: 53

6/1

Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 a in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 14/1) 11 days ago, slowly away as he often is. Needs to improve on that effort.

Form: 5664-56

Concert Boy^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: K Scott| OR: 52| CD

7/1

6/1, won an 11-runner minor event at this C&D 15 days ago by ½ length from Just Typical, just pushed out late on. More on his plate here but arrives in good form.

Form: 4327-51

Just Typical^p⁸

15/8

Course winner. Chased home Concert Boy and built on that when winning a 10-runner minor event (11/8) at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago, well on top at the finish. Should be competitive again.

Form: 9245-21

Northern Cracksman^b¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 51

9/4

Unlucky last twice, latest when going well when no room home turn, stumbled, finished fourth (with running left) of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago. Positive jockey booking and rates as a leading candidate here.

Form: 27529-4

Masham Moor⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 46| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 9/2, poor run when 13½ lengths ninth of 10 to Just Typical in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 55053-9

Forecasts

Just Typical (15/8), Northern Cracksman (9/4), Impeach (6/1), Ravensbourne (13/2), Concert Boy (7/1), Masham Moor (16/1), Serious Look (25/1)

NORTHERN CRACKSMAN would have gone close with a smoother passage last time, and he can gain compensation with excellent Billy Loughnane aboard. Old foes Just Typical and Concert Boy should be in the mix once again.
