Dawn Of Liberation^b1¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Tommie Jakes| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

9/2

Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/2) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. On a long losing run but has a change of headgear and the ground will suit. Interesting from a very tempting mark (rated 102 at his peak).

Form: 56-8065

Form: 10406-1

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jake Dickson⁽¹⁰⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, very good second of 6 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 11 days ago. Big player if backing that up.

(12)

Rory¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Lauren Young⁽⁸⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55| D

12/1

Unreliable sort. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 11/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago, reportedly bled.

Form: 035563

(13)

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| CD

28/1

3-time C&D winner. Off 6 months. Had lost form badly when last seen and record suggests he may need this.

Form: 376988-

Coconut Bay¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Mohammed Tabti| T: T Davidson| OR: 50| BF| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Good second of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 11/4) 10 days ago. Proving pretty reliable of late and the quickish ground will suit.

Variety Island²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 48| CD

6/1

Fifteen runs since last win (here) in 2024. 6/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on return 21 days ago. Needs to build on that.

Form: 64427-2

Forecasts

Dawn Of Liberation (9/2), Coconut Bay (11/2), Variety Island (6/1), King Sharja (6/1), Miss Willows (8/1), Without Delay (17/2), Berkshire Phantom (11/1), Kalganov (12/1), Rory (12/1), Sir Garfield (16/1), Sunny Orange (16/1), Front Gunner (28/1), Obee Jo (28/1)

In a wide-open race it could be worth chancing SUNNY ORANGE, who has gone well fresh and at this track and resumes on a tempting mark with his apprentice taking off 10 lb. Last month's C&D winner Miss Willows, Kalganov and Dawn of Liberation are among the other appealing ones.
