Trefor²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Hills| OR: 87| BF| D

3/1

Dual 6f winner last term who ran much better than on his reappearance when 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Buccabay in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. 3 lb better off with that rival here and fancied to be thereabouts.

Form: 1105-04

Buccabay²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| D

6/1

Eased a little in the weights and enhanced his good record fresh when winning 10-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago, kept up to work. Nudged up 2 lb on the back of that and he's another on the shortlist.

Form: 01489-1

Mythical Phoenix²³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 86| BF

7/2

A winner in Ireland as a 3-y-o who proved most consistent without getting his head in front for present stable last year, signing off with a creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good) in October. Can't be ruled out on return from 7 months off.

Vicario^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 85| D

7/1

Lope De Vega filly who opened her account in 4-runner firm ground Haydock handicap (6f) last August. Disappointed on final 2 starts but entitled to come on for first start for 6 months when last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (7f) 20 days ago. Stable in excellent form.

Form: 32108-8

Gressington^b²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 84| D

13/2

Successful twice at up to 7.4f last season and stepped up on his reappearance run in a switch of headgear when creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 20 days ago. Remains unexposed as a sprinter and likely player with blinkers back on in place of a visor.

Form: 2515-03

Nazron²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado| OR: 82

22/1

25/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good) 22 days ago. Back up in trip now and this ease back down in class can help.

Form: 608-630

Kats Bob¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 81| D

11/1

4 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in April. 14/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 18 days ago, likely he'd of been in the shake-up with a clear run. Not out of things.

Form: 111143

Brazen Bolt²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 80| D

80/1

One-time smart performer who lost his way last season but entitled to have needed first start since leaving John & Sean Quinn (after 8 months off) when last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Back up in trip and this should reveal more.

Form: 00009-9

Smart Vision^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 78| C

6/1

Course winner. 7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 27 days ago. Needs to step up on that but his mark is steadily easing.

Form: 623-438

Forecasts

Trefor (3/1), Mythical Phoenix (7/2), Smart Vision (6/1), Buccabay (6/1), Gressington (13/2), Vicario (7/1), Kats Bob (11/1), Nazron (22/1), Brazen Bolt (80/1)

TREFOR didn't find things panning out ideally but still ran with plenty of credit when fourth behind re-opposing Buccabay when the pair met at Windsor 25 days ago and, now 3 lb better off with that rival, he could emerge on top on this occasion. The latter-named is an obvious threat with Gressington and Kats Bob others to factor in.
