Ana Emaraaty⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48| C

1/1

Successful twice at this course last year and got back on track when fourth of 10 in handicap here (6f, 13/2) 40 days ago, never nearer. Has form at this longer trip and he's a leading contender back down in grade.

Form: 2170-64

Hot Team^b²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 47| CD

18/1

Eleven runs since most recent success in 2024 and below form last 2 starts, last of 6 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. However, he's a C&D winner and isn't ruled out back down at this level.

Form: 06369-6

Mr Coco Bean^p³⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Helen Cuthbert| OR: 42| D

50/1

Long time without a victory and has been struggling for form, last of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 40/1) 37 days ago. Others preferred as he goes significantly back up in trip.

Form: 76-7850

Our Noble Lord^h⁴⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 42

25/1

Remains a maiden and was never involved when eighth of 9 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 47 days ago, very slowly away. Could do with brushing up his starts, though he was placed on his last outing in this grade.

Form: 73889-8

Spartan Times^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 47

7/4

Has fared better upped in trip this year, in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 14/1) 31 days ago. Remains lightly raced so he could still have more to offer.

Form: 905-534

(3)

Yakhabar³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 46| C

5/1

Won twice here early last year (both at 12.5f). Inadequate test when fourth of 7 in minor event (10/1) at this course (8f) 3 days ago, so he's one to note as he returns to this longer distance.

Form: 864604

Forecasts

Ana Emaraaty (1/1), Spartan Times (7/4), Yakhabar (5/1), Hot Team (18/1), Ciara Storm (20/1), Our Noble Lord (25/1), Rohilla (33/1), Mr Coco Bean (50/1)

Having won twice at this course last year, ANA EMARAATY took a step back in the right direction when fourth here on his latest outing, despite having been denied a clear run, so he could be ready to return to winning ways. Yakhabar promises to be suited by this step back up in trip and is feared most, ahead of Spartan Times.
