G'daay^v⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: J Parr| OR: 70

14/1

Multiple winner at 7f who turned in his best effort of the current campaign when runner-up in a refitted visor at Chelmsford (7f) in April. Not disgraced next 2 starts on AW later that month and he's one to bear in mind from a handy mark back on turf.

Commander Of Life^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 70

7/2

Doubled career tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and held his form well since, staying on for second in 7-runner handicap at Pontefract (1m) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now and good draw to work from returned to 7f. Respected.

Rwenearlytheredad^t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 68| D

7/2

Ended last season on the up, landing back-to-back handicaps at Catterick/Redcar and picked up where he left off after 7 months off when bringing up the hat-trick in 8-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Well drawn to attack in stall 2 and respected from 4 lb higher.

Form: 42311-1

Ciotog²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 67| D

18/1

Back-to-back winner with give underfoot at Bath (1m) in the autumn and back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January. Mixed bag since, but he did return to form when third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (10f) 22 days ago. Still, others preferred for win purposes.

Style Of Life^t¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: H Bethell| OR: 66| D

17/2

Opened his account for this yard at Thirsk (1m) last September before good placed efforts next 2 starts. Form dipped thereafter, well below best when sixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (7.1f) in January. Draw could have been kinder on this return from 5 months off.

Alfie Boy⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

10/3

2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Ayr (1m) in May. Returned to his free-going ways on each of his last 2 starts, weakening final 1f when sixth of 13 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Plum draw to work from back at 7f however, so better certainly not ruled out.

Form: 8-41196

Mayo County^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 63

17/2

Improved model this year, gaining breakthrough victory at Newcastle (6f) in March and posted a career-best effort when winning 11-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 18 days ago, always holding on. Remains lightly raced on turf and she ought to be competitive again.

Form: 0-51341

King Sharja¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60

28/1

Landed back-to-back Beverley handicaps (at 7.4f) last summer and confirmed promise of his reappearance when going in again at Southwell (7f) in April. Not at best returned to Beverley 16 days ago however and draw in 11 makes things tricky here.

Form: 79-2168

(12)

Ravenglass^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| BF| D

22/1

Kept busy since the turn of the year, regaining the winning thread at Chepstow (7f) on his penultimate start. Backed that up when a solid second back at that venue 2 weeks ago and whilst he's been done no favours by the draw, a good pace to aim at will likely aid his cause.

Form: 128012

Berkshire Phantom^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 56| CD

14/1

Struck fast and late when taking this race from a much higher mark 12 months ago and he lines up here having shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 6 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f) 20 days ago, never fully able to open up. Visor back on and he's not taken lightly.

Form: 858585

Supernova Steps⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 49

16/1

9/2 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 48 days ago, making little impression. Step back up in trip may well help returned to turf but she does need to keep the slow starts at bay.

Form: 454-949

(9)

Peachey Carnehan^b¹⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 8-4| J: J F Egan| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

150/1

Veteran campaigner who has struggled to make an impact on AW/turf in recent months, last of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back up in trip now and he's hard to fancy from out of the weights.

Form: 7-97890

Forecasts

Alfie Boy (10/3), Commander Of Life (7/2), Rwenearlytheredad (7/2), Style Of Life (17/2), Mayo County (17/2), G'daay (14/1), Berkshire Phantom (14/1), Supernova Steps (16/1), Ciotog (18/1), Ravenglass (22/1), King Sharja (28/1), Peachey Carnehan (150/1)

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD picked up where he left off 7 months ago when bringing up the hat-trick on seasonal bow at Carlisle 2 weeks ago and a 4 lb rise for that success may not prevent another bold bid from a good draw in stall 2. Last year's winner Berkshire Phantom has fallen to a very tempting mark and wasn't seen to best effect latest, so he's another worth a look. Commander of Life and Ravenglass are others in the mix, along with Mayo County.
