B Associates³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Paddy Bradley| T: James Owen| OR: 48| BF

16/5

Back up in trip and snapped losing sequence on third start back with this yard at Yarmouth (7f) 3 days ago, travelling well and keeping on with a bit in hand. Likely to be very competitive again at this level, even off top weight.

Hawajes^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 43

80/1

Has shown poor form recently, finishing eleventh of 14 at Chepstow (50/1) 12 days ago when racing indolently and never threatening. Re-application of blinkers may help in that regard.

Form: 966980

Headshot^v²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49| D

28/1

Back in trip and more like it when second of 8 in classified race at this course (11/1) 29 days ago. May not reproduce that improved form this time given overall profile.

Form: 978362

Laurentia¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁵⁾| T: Stephanie Cassidy| OR: 49| D

11/1

Ran to form when second of 14 at Lingfield (20/1) 15 days ago, change of tactics employed to cash in on a handy draw. Cheekpieces left off.

Form: 520432

Monks Mead¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: M D I Usher| OR: 50| D

11/2

Placed twice over C&D and similar form when sixth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f) at 17/2 two weeks ago, dwelt and plugging on. Very effective here but on a losing run.

Form: 079236

Rainbow Sign^t²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: M Pattinson| OR: 46

20/1

Without a win in 34 starts and fifth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (25/1) 20 days ago, stumbled at start and made little impression.

Form: 475355

Too Much Trevor¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: G Harris| OR: 48

18/1

Finished second of 14 at Chepstow (10/1) 12 days ago. Long-standing maiden who shows temperamental traits but he's a form player on recent efforts.

Form: 673632

We'renotreallyhere¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 49| CD

Won over C&D in May but inconsistent since, running poorly when ninth of 10 at Salisbury (9/1) 11 days ago after breathing operation.

Form: 351529

Duffus Castle^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: P J McBride| OR: 46

20/1

Poor form throughout career, fourth of 9 in 8f handicap at Yarmouth (12/1) 9 days ago where headgear seemed to help him. Task is to build on that.

Form: 0-70884

(4)

Galette^v⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Leavy| T: J G Portman| OR: 40

66/1

Form: 7-57456

(3)

Lunanova^h³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 48| CD

9/2

Won a 6-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 36 days ago, doing good late work having had every rival to pass entering the final furlong. Joined another good yard so has to command respect.

Form: 767861

Magna⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

80/1

Three runner-up efforts in AW handicaps but unable to continue the good work the last twice, doing too much too soon under change of tactics at Kempton. Switches to turf.

Form: 922205

Princess Qajar^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R A Teal| OR: 49

25/1

Headstrong sort who failed to see out the race when last of 10 in handicap at Leicester (20/1) 14 days ago. First-time cheekpieces applied.

Form: 76-8550

The Kamikaze King²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 50| D

3/1

Second in a handicap here (14/1) 36 days ago before winning a classified race at Thirsk against 11 rivals (9/2) 22 days ago, making all and keeping on. Likely to be very competitive again.

Forecasts

The Kamikaze King (3/1), B Associates (16/5), Lunanova (9/2), Monks Mead (11/2), We'renotreallyhere (15/2), Laurentia (11/1), Aim For The Bull (12/1), Too Much Trevor (18/1), Rainbow Sign (20/1), Duffus Castle (20/1), Princess Qajar (25/1), Headshot (28/1), Galette (66/1), Hawajes (80/1), Magna (80/1)

B ASSOCIATES travelled well and had something in hand when winning at Yarmouth three days ago and on that evidence, he looks well placed to follow up over this similar trip. Lunanova stuck to her task really well when winning at this C&D 36 days ago, while The Kamikaze King made all at Thirsk and is another to consider.
