Petra Celera^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: S H James| T: Roger Fell| OR: 65| C| D

10/1

Won a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton then followed up with a good second at Leicester. Fifth of 14 in 7f handicap at Chester (10/3) 12 days ago was another sound run and this a slight drop back in class.

Coconut Bay¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 64| CD

5/1

In excellent form with 3 wins from last 4 starts, including twice over C&D, latterly when responding well to pressure a fortnight ago. 2 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Homer Stokes⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 64| CD

6/1

Triple C&D winner around this time last year but came last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (9/1) 9 days ago, running poorly with no obvious excuse. Return to favoured track may help.

Form: 70-6726

Emerald Army³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 58| BF| D

9/2

Has shown fair form in handicaps with a close second at Wolverhampton and third at Leicester this term but was fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (13/8) 3 days ago, well beaten. Turned out quickly.

Sunny Orange^p⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| D

9/1

Won at Beverley (9/1) 19 days ago before finishing eighth of 10 in 7f handicap (6/1) at same course 8 days ago when not ideally placed and taking strong hold. That effort easy enough to excuse and he can get back on track here.

Woodleigh^p1⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: Roger Fell| OR: 56

11/1

Third of 9 in 7f AW handicap in May, but well beaten (8th of 9) in 6f handicap at Doncaster (18/1) 46 days ago. First-time cheekpieces tried starting out for a new yard.

Form: 5-77038

Bella Love³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: I Furtado| OR: 60

10/1

Winless after 11 starts but one of this season's better race when fifth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (16/1) 37 days ago, seeing out 6.9f well despite pulling hard early. Looks to have found her level.

Form: 63-6945

One More Bottle^v⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁵⁾| T: Lizzie Quinlan| OR: 52

9/2

Won 11-ruuner classified race at Ayr (16/1) in first-time visor 17 days ago, then ran creditably when third of 12 in similar event at Thirsk (7/2) a week later, well positioned throughout. Should remain competitive back in a handicap.

Mwafaq^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

10/1

Inconsistent in handicaps but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 12 in 6.9f handicap at Carlisle (25/1) 13 days ago in first-time cheekpieces. Task is to build on that effort.

Form: 5-73864

Royal Blaze^h1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 50| D

25/1

Shown little in 9 runs since 2023 win, finishing ninth of 12 in 8f handicap at Ayr (8/1) 16 days ago, making little impression. First-time hood reached for.

Form: 908-699

Forecasts

Uncle Simon (4/1), Emerald Army (9/2), One More Bottle (9/2), Coconut Bay (5/1), Homer Stokes (6/1), Sunny Orange (9/1), Mwafaq (10/1), Bella Love (10/1), Petra Celera (10/1), Woodleigh (11/1), Royal Blaze (25/1)

COCONUT BAY is thriving with three wins from her last four starts, including twice over C&D and she may be up to defying the handicapper again in her present groove. Petra Celera is holding her form well and rates a danger eased in class. One More Bottle and Sunny Orange are others who make some appeal.
