Canon's House⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62

1/1

Best run in maidens when 3rd of 13 in 6f maiden at Southwell last August despite pulling hard. Made all to win easily by 6 lengths in a 5f handicap at Carlisle (7/1) 7 days ago, travelling well before going clear in the final furlong. The one to beat under a penalty if in the same form.

Form: 33779-1

Sugar Baby¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: P D Niven| OR: 65| C

15/2

Bounced back to form to notch his second success of the year at Redcar (5f) 36 days ago. Second of 8 in a 6f handicap at the same venue 18 days ago, running at least as well in defeat on first try beyond 5f. Should remain competitive.

Form: 415712

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63| C| D

33/1

Patchy form since landing final leg of a 4-timer last July. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (11/1) 8 days ago, going through the motions in blinkers. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 92-4836

Roundhay Park¹³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| D

16/1

Without success in 17 starts since August 2023 win at Ripon but turned in season's best effort when third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (11/2) 13 days ago from a tumbling mark. Remains to be seen if he can back that up.

Form: 859-763

Captain Vallo^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 61| D

12/1

In good form with four consecutive frame finishes, most recently finishing third of 13 in handicap over this C&D 20 days ago, despite stumbling when leaving stalls. Should give another good account.

Bulmer Bank^v1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Swift| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61

10/1

Placed twice in handicaps last summer but finished 9th of 15 in handicap at Thirsk over 8f (12/1) 34 days ago when not ideally placed and staying on late. First-time visor replaces hood and dropping back in trip may suit. Not the most straightforward but on a fair enough mark.

Form: 3320-89

Emerald Army¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 60| BF| CD

10/3

Course and distance winner in April who has been in consistent form this spring. Second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton over 7f (9/5) 15 days ago, travelling strongly and only headed in final strides. Should be in the mix again.

Form: 312-132

Mark's Choice²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 60| D

18/1

Without a win for 17 runs. Some promise on penultimate outing when third at Southwell but last of 10 in handicap at Ripon (25/1) 28 days ago when needing the run after 5 months off. Bit to prove at present.

Form: 230/73-0

(3)

Stormy Pearl^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D Thompson| OR: 56| D

11/1

Four-time winner but 10 runs without success since scoring at Redcar last July. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (10/3) over 5f 28 days ago, wasn't in the same form as previously. Not ruled out if bouncing back.

Form: 206-735

(6)

Brazen Rascal⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: S Whitaker| OR: 45

80/1

Poor form in handicaps, often running too freely. Ninth of 11 at Doncaster (13/2) 42 days ago, well held after long break. Easy to look elsewhere.

Thunderstorm Katie¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

40/1

Limited performer with no wins in 11 starts. Ran one of better races when fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (22/1) 16 days ago, awkward from stalls, made headway over 1f out and kept on without being punished. Others preferred.

Form: 477-745

(2)

Golden Prosperity^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 45

80/1

Poor recent form, finishing ninth of 15 in handicap at Catterick Bridge (40/1) 25 days ago. Isn't one to be interested in at present.

Forecasts

Canon's House (1/1), Emerald Army (10/3), Sugar Baby (15/2), Bulmer Bank (10/1), Tickets (10/1), Stormy Pearl (11/1), Captain Vallo (12/1), Roundhay Park (16/1), Mark's Choice (18/1), Yazaman (33/1), Thunderstorm Katie (40/1), Golden Prosperity (80/1), Brazen Rascal (80/1)

Fresh from a dominant success at Carlisle 7 days ago, CANON'S HOUSE should take all the beating under a penalty if in similar form. C&D winner Emerald Army has been in consistent form, and he's respected along with Sugar Baby, who proved equally effective at this trip last time.
