Dream Pirate^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: A J Farragher| T: T Kent| OR: 68| CD

9/4

Won over C&D on heavy ground last October and again shaped well when second of 13 in a handicap back here prior to finishing a good third of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Plenty to like about his chances.

Form: 135-623

Soames Forsyte^p⁹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. but found run of good form coming to a halt when eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Wetherby (8f, good to firm). Remains to be seen if he can bounce back following a break.

Between Me And U^t⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 65| D

6/1

Ran creditably with reappearance under his belt when respectable third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 64 days ago. Down to a feasible mark and should give another good account.

Form: 2450-73

Law Supreme^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62| D

11/2

Had been shaping better than his form figures suggest on the all-weather prior to disappointing back on turf when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 15/2) 12 days ago. Tongue strap refitted and ought to be competitive at this level if bouncing back to form.

Form: 0-46766

Naval Academy⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 61| D

6/1

Had been out of sorts this season but has fallen to a handy mark and turned in his best effort of the season with the benefit of a good position when second of 6 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 11/4) 62 days ago. Has a chance if he can back up that effort returning to 1m.

Form: 798-652

Mini Mac³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 67| CD

7/2

C&D winner when off the mark here in May and has matched that form in recent starts, briefly looked a threat when second of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 319642

Sixteen One⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery| OR: 66

50/1

Fair maiden for George Boughey and probably found the race coming too soon (6 days after finishing runner-up over 6f at Leicester) when last of 11 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Back up in trip on first run for new connections but will need to improve to open her account.

Form: 244320

Dovey Moon⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| D

8/1

Seen to excellent advantage against the favoured stand rail when a winner at Chepstow in May but below form next time when fifth of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 7/2) 49 days ago. Neil Callan takes over in the saddle but has a bit to find on bare form.

Forecasts

Dream Pirate (9/4), Ravishing Beauty (11/4), Mini Mac (7/2), Law Supreme (11/2), Between Me And U (6/1), Naval Academy (6/1), Dovey Moon (8/1), Pay Attention (10/1), Soames Forsyte (16/1), Sixteen One (50/1)

Very competitive but DREAM PIRATE likes it here and shaped well when runner-up at Doncaster earlier this month, having been caught further back than ideal. He's narrowly preferred to Ravishing Beauty who is thriving at present, winning comfortably at Pontefract 13 days ago and she should go well again. Of the rest, C&D winner Pay Attention has some solid form at this level, while Between Me And U has slipped to a feasible mark and is capable of being competitive in this company.
