Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 52| CD

Below par on both starts this year but has dipped to 3 lb lower than when winning this race last year. No surprise were he to stage a revival.

Latin Five³⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 52| CD

9/1

C&D winner who resumed winning ways on the back of a breathing operation at Newcastle (5f) in February. Form has been rather up and down since, not at best when sixth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good) 39 days ago. Bounce back not ruled out.

Form: 553946

Captain Bentley¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 50| D

40/1

80/1, back to form out of blue to win 9-runner classified event at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up.

Form: 780-881

Monticristo Boy^t⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 54| D

18/1

Has reached the frame on all 5 starts this year, although not at best when fourth the last twice. Back from a short break with the yard among the winners. Could go well assuming a wide stall isn't too big an inconvenience.

Form: 3-33444

Araifjan^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: M Herrington| OR: 46| D

7/1

Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Below par when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 15 days ago but claims if recapturing the form he showed when third over C&D off 2 lb higher at the end of May.

Form: 6-74336

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 45| CD

7/1

Sole win from 24 starts came over C&D last autumn. Operating below his best so far this season so needs a return to Beverley to have a positive effect.

Form: 660687

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| D

Forecasts

Glendown (3/1), Without Flaw (4/1), Lady Of The Garr (7/1), Araifjan (7/1), Ifonlytheycudtalk (7/1), Jack Of Clubs (8/1), Latin Five (9/1), Sir Benedict (14/1), Monticristo Boy (18/1), Captain Bentley (40/1), Crafty Spirit (125/1)

GLENDOWN is well handicapped and might prove the answer back in a Class 6. Araifjan will be a threat if recapturing the form he showed when third over C&D at the start of the summer, while Jack Of Clubs has dipped to 3 lb lower than when landing this race last year so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him stage a revival.
