3/1

Turned in best effort of season with cheekpieces refitted when creditable second of 9 in a strongly run handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Should remain competitive with visor replacing cheekpieces.

Roundhay Park^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59| CD

3/1

Veteran C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023 and unable to build on previous effort when below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 15 days ago. Mark eases further and now drops into a 0-60. Isn't the easiest to win with nowadays but remains well-treated.

Rogue De Vega^h³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

33/1

Dual all-weather winner (0-5 on turf) possibly needed the run when 18/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Handicapper has given him a chance but remains to be seen if he can capitalise away from the all-weather.

Form: 154-376

Spring Corn^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

16/1

Best effort to date when second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, firm) last month but wasn't quite in the same form when a well held second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 12 days ago, no match for winner. Drawn in widest stall and will need more to get off the mark here.

Form: 35-7922

Ey Up He's A Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 59

9/2

Heading in the right direction of late and went through the race like the best horse at the weights when good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal (into a headwind). Return to 6f on turf holds no fears and he remains one to be interested in.

Form: 55-832

Gis A Sub¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 52| CD

9/2

Isn't the easiest to predict but wasn't disgraced when respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 17 days ago. On a career-low mark and has claims if things fall right. Won this last year.

Dorothy May¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

66/1

Maiden has failed to improve for the switch to handicaps / drop to sprinting, latest eleventh of 16 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to soft, 66/1) 12 days ago. Has plenty to find.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 50| CD

33/1

C&D winner last September but has failed to beat a rival in his last 5 starts. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 108-076

Eldeyaar^p³³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 48| CD

11/2

C&D winner (has a pretty good record here) but ran below form when unable to lead last time. seventh of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 33 days ago. May do better returning to this track but still has something to find.

Form: 065067

Flavius Titus^b³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: D Brooke| OR: 45| CD

40/1

C&D winner typically lost ground at the start and ran no sort of race when eleventh of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 30 days ago. Others more reliable.

Forecasts

Roundhay Park (3/1), Ideal Guest (3/1), Gis A Sub (9/2), Ey Up He's A Star (9/2), Eldeyaar (11/2), Canaria Queen (14/1), Spring Corn (16/1), Rogue De Vega (33/1), Tilsworth Turf (33/1), Flavius Titus (40/1), Dorothy May (66/1)

EY UP HE'S A STAR has improved in handicaps and went like the best horse at the weights when runner-up at Newcastle last month, deserving extra credit having hit the front sooner than ideal into a headwind. He's taken to get off the mark back on turf with Roundhay Park and Gis A Sub feared most from their falling handicap marks.
