Secret Guest¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 89| CD

12/1

Just about better than ever returned to turf when winning over C&D in May. 15/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not ideally placed as the race unfolded. This represents a drop in class.

Form: 2-68107

Tinto³²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 88| CD

11/1

Three-time C&D winner and found only one too good over 5f here in May. 28/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 32 days ago, failing to travel with any purpose.

Form: 008-020

Pals Battalion^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 88| D

7/1

Added to excellent Newcastle record with a success in March. 6/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago, slowly away and never a factor. This is a lesser band of handicap.

Orne²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 87

33/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden for 50,00 gns and didn't show enough when eighth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Epsom (6f, soft) 25 days ago to seriously consider him. Blinkers removed.

Form: 60-0608

Dakota Gold³²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 86| C| D

33/1

Capitalised on the drop in grade when making a winning return from 6 months off at Ripon in April. 28/1, found out in a better race when last of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 32 days ago.

Form: 9502-10

Mythical Phoenix^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: J Fanning| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 86

9/2

Sole win came in Ireland but plenty of solid placed efforts for this yard. Sound effort on reappearance when fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago and usual cheekpieces back on.

Form: 22354-4

Kats Bob^v¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 83| CD

15/2

Started this year in fine fettle, bagging 4 handicaps on the bounce between February and April. Went through a little quiet patch but back on the up with a bang when making all at York 3 weeks ago. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent bold follow-up bid.

Form: 114361

Roberto Caro¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 82| CD

11/2

C&D winner last summer and sent off 40/1, he stepped up markedly on his reappearance when ½-length fourth of 19 to Kats Bob in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, doing really well given his track position. Major player up just 1 lb.

Form: 5100-84

(10)

Reigning Profit¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 81

33/1

Back-to-back 5f winner during the spring. 12/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 17 days ago, though he was denied a clear run. Back up in trip minus headgear.

Form: 231188

(11)

Irish Nectar^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S A Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

28/1

Last of 9 in handicap (17/2) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. That was disappointing on the back of a promising reappearance and cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 0518-29

Mister Sox^p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 80| D

12/1

Three wins from 5 runs this year, latest of them at Ripon in May. Below form 5½ lengths eleventh of 19 to Kats Bob in handicap at York (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 18 days ago, though he wasn't seen to best effect.

Form: 4-11180

(8)

Manila Scouse^t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

12/1

Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Eased further 2 lb so he now lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 00-0776

Easy Peeler¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| D

7/2

Just her fifth career run and she was better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, just holding on. Should have more to offer as a 3-y-o on the up.

Form: 212-31

Forecasts

Easy Peeler (7/2), Mythical Phoenix (9/2), Roberto Caro (11/2), Pals Battalion (7/1), Kats Bob (15/2), Tinto (11/1), Manila Scouse (12/1), Secret Guest (12/1), Mister Sox (12/1), Irish Nectar (28/1), Orne (33/1), Reigning Profit (33/1), Dakota Gold (33/1)

ROBERTO CARO finished behind Kats Bob in a blanket finish at York but he did really well to get as close as he did from a poor draw so is strongly fancied to reverse that form. A bigger threat may emerge in the shape of upwardly-mobile 3-y-o Easy Peeler.
