(8)

Spanish Star¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: P R Chamings| OR: 71| C| D

13/2

Course winner who took advantage of a much-reduced mark in 11-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 16 days ago, readily. Remains very well treated on old form, so has to be taken seriously in follow-up bid.

Form: 78-6531

(6)

Muscika^v²³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May but was well below form when only sixth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 945196

Kisskodi²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 73| BF| D

15/8

Off the mark in 6-runner handicap at Brighton in May and followed up in 10-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, running on (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Merits consideration in hat-trick bid.

Form: 6-26211

(4)

South Shore Island³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 72

22/1

Fairly useful handicapper at best but well held for current yard, finishing ninth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 33/1) 38 days ago.

Form: 320-409

Forecasts

Kisskodi (15/8), Scarboroughwarning (4/1), Muscika (11/2), Shiplake (6/1), Spanish Star (13/2), Lerwick (16/1), Danger Alert (16/1), South Shore Island (22/1)

Veteran SPANISH STAR took advantage of a much-reduced mark in ready fashion at Newbury 16 days ago and 3 lb rise in the weights doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up on that evidence. Shiplake still showed signs of inexperience when second on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton recently and remains open to improvement, with hat-trick seeker Kisskodi also feared.
