River Wharfe^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 55| CD

7/4

Three-time C&D winner. Latest win was registered over mile a here in May. Last of 4 in handicap back at this course (8f, good, 8/1) 7 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Cheekpieces refitted and he could have a part to play if things pan out more favourably this time. Yard also runs Toussarok.

Umming N' Ahing^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 52

28/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 7 in handicap (50/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a major way.

Form: 85059-6

Bear To Dream²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 52| CD

10/3

Four-time course winner, the latest coming over C&D at the beginning of last month. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) back here (good) 22 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Likely to find one or two too good.

Colorada Dancer^v1⁹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: K Jewell| OR: 51

9/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 95 days. Continues to slide down the weights and he's interesting here with Jim Crowley booked and a first-time visor enlisted.

Form: 48-0307

Toussarok¹⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| C| D

9/2

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on latest start in January. Headgear discarded and, eased 4 lb since, he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 09848-0

Forecasts

River Wharfe (7/4), Bear To Dream (10/3), Toussarok (9/2), Colorada Dancer (9/2), Majorelle Blue (8/1), Umming N' Ahing (28/1)

A chance is taken on COLORADA DANCER, who hasn't managed to add to his 2-y-o York maiden success but the booking of Jim Crowley and the new headgear are both sources of hope. Toussarok is another who needs to bounce back but he has also slipped to a potentially very handy mark and is feared most ahead of stablemate River Wharfe.
