Off time: 18:31 | Winning time: 1m 13.32s

(1)

Zarathos^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 74| BF

10/3

2/1, third of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 15 days ago. Record stands at 0-13, but he has run more good races than bad ones and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip.

Form: 533543

(10)

Think Of A Name⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: W J Knight| OR: 73

3/1

16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 58 days ago. Dropping back in trip looks a good move, as does the return to 0-75 company (it was a 0-88 handicap he contested at Haydock), and he's a leading contender.

Form: 515-336

(9)

Zubaru^v1,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 72

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago. The ability to win a race or two is certainly there and perhaps the first-time visor will give him a lift.

Form: 2-2548

(7)

Medinilla¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J Channon| OR: 72| D

4/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/1) 18 days ago, worst of draw. Place possibilities.

Form: 61-1424

(11)

Lazzar^p⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 72

11/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this course (5.1f, good to firm) 63 days ago. This seven-race maiden will need to find improvement from somewhere if he's to get his head in front here.

Form: 4-23348

(4)

Stapleford Park^h⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: M J Attwater| OR: 70

28/1

Twelfth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 80 days ago. Back down in trip on debut for new yard and he's probably best watched for now.

Form: 541-970

(2)

Be An Angel²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 66| D

7/1

Winner at Leicester in May. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 21 days ago and she has to enter calculations on the back of that near-miss.

Form: 817052

(3)

Invincible Melody^v1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: S C Williams| OR: 66

12/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm, 22/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip and, though 0-10, he could have a part to play if responding positively to the first-time visor.

Form: 225236

(12)

Emporess⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| D

14/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Leicester (6f, good) 40 days ago and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 225-597

Forecasts

Think Of A Name (3/1), Zarathos (10/3), Medinilla (4/1), Rage Of Thunder (4/1), Be An Angel (7/1), Zubaru (8/1), Sweet Sonata (8/1), Zoulu Warrior (10/1), Lazzar (11/1), Invincible Melody (12/1), Emporess (14/1), Stapleford Park (28/1)

It was a Class 3 handicap in which THINK OF A NAME came up short at Haydock last time and, now back down in trip, returned to calmer waters and reunited with Oisin Murphy, he is pretty appealing. Be An Angel found just one too good over this C&D last time and she looks nailed-on for another big run, while Zarathos will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Invincible Melody is also shortlisted.
