Midnight Ravens⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: P Attwater| OR: 65

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Proved he retains a fair level of ability when seventh of 13 in novice (200/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) just over 6 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut and needs to build on that effort.

Form: 52/0-07

Kurios George¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Tate| OR: 64

15/2

Little to shout about so far in 3 turf maidens. Needs to leave those efforts behind now handicapping switched to all-weather but that's possible.

Form: 657

Bold Suitor¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Craig Benton| OR: 63| CD

5/2

C&D winner in March and without his usual headgear, gained reward for his consistency when also successful in 9-runner handicap (5/4) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, leading over 1f out then soon clear. 9 lb higher here but hard to ignore in her current mood.

Francesi^t,v1²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson| T: S Woods| OR: 62| D

11/1

One win from 36 Flat runs. 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (10f) just under 3 weeks ago. Visor on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Handicapper given him a chance.

Form: 83-3537

Just Typical⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: Ian Williams| OR: 61| D

5/1

15/8, made it 4 wins for the year in workmanlike fashion in 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) when last seen 3 months ago, finding extra when tackled final 1f. Dangerous if able to pick up from where he left off.

Form: 510131

Prefer The Sister⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Jonny Peate| T: M Crawley| OR: 60| C

9/2

Course winner. 16/1, found run of good form coming to a halt when sixth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, firm) just under 7 weeks ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 753556

Aspire To Glory^t³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 56| BF| C

12/1

Course winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/2) just over 5 weeks ago, doing too much too soon.

Form: 191214

(5)

Sweet Sister^v³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Ray Dawson| T: D J Coakley| OR: 53

66/1

Visored for 1st time, ran poorly when well-beaten ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Back down in trip. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 4447-69

(7)

Marchetti¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Jack Dace⁽⁷⁾| T: J C Fox| OR: 50| C

14/1

Course winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. 25/1, excuses when seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 2 weeks ago, left poorly placed. Dropped another 2 lb and would be foolish to discount.

Form: 3239-57

Forecasts

Bold Suitor (5/2), Prefer The Sister (9/2), Just Typical (5/1), Midnight Ravens (11/2), Serenity Dream (11/2), Kurios George (15/2), Francesi (11/1), Aspire To Glory (12/1), Marchetti (14/1), Sweet Sister (66/1)

SERENITY DREAM has just the sole victory to his name, yet he's been shaping up well of late for his new yard so gets the nod to double his tally returned to class 6 company at the expense of Bold Suitor, who bolted up at Wolverhampton just over a fortnight ago and is now 9 lb higher as a result. Just Typical was in red-hot form when last seen in April and he'd be a danger to all if picking up from where he left off.
