City Of York^h²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 70| C

13/8

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has slipped to an attractive mark and will be a big player if he puts his best foot forward.

Form: 5238-09

(7)

Vinatera⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 69

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap (28/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 48 days ago. Makes turf debut and needs to get back on track.

Form: 3378

(6)

Bella Taslina^p³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: P R Chamings| OR: 67| D

16/1

2/1, first run since leaving Clive Cox when fourth of 5 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Possible that she will come on for that run and has slipped to a workable mark.

Form: 18465-4

(4)

Daisy Roots¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 65

5/4

Good second of 7 in handicap (9/4) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 18 days ago. 1 lb nudge no hardship and she may well go one better now back at 7f.

Form: 149-242

(2)

Dark Sun¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: J Bennett| OR: 65

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving William Haggas when ninth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 45/4-9

(5)

Classy Clarets^h,t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 62| D

11/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 33/1) 20 days ago. 4 lb rise may be enough to prevent him from following up, but shouldn't be far away all the same.

Form: 579001

(1)

Never Dream^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 57| D

16/1

Ninth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and one or two of these are more appealing.

Form: 12850-9

Daisy Roots (5/4), City Of York (13/8), Classy Clarets (11/1), Vinatera (11/1), Bella Taslina (16/1), Never Dream (16/1), Dark Sun (66/1)

DAISY ROOTS hasn't done much wrong in three runs since returning to action at the beginning of April, leaving the strong impression that her turn is very near when going close at Windsor last month. She gets the nod ahead of City of York, who has dipped below her last winning mark, and Wolverhampton winner Classy Clarets.
