Super Citizen¹³⁷

Age: 11| Weight: 12-0| J: B S Hughes| T: Lucinda Hughes| OR: 99

4/1

Won at Carlisle in April and finished second at Kelso before form declined significantly, fifth of 12 in handicap at Cartmel (20/1) 137 days ago, labouring badly from 4 out. Break may well have done him some good.

Form: 5312-85

Luminaries^p,t³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 95

18/1

Won 4 times over hurdles in spring at up to 24.5f but pulled up in field of 8 on chasing debut here 34 days ago, drifting in betting and tying up badly. Jumping wasn't an issue, at least and he's now up markedly in distance.

Form: 11P-16P

Sir Carnegie¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Shane Fenelon⁽⁵⁾| T: M Bowen| OR: 86

2/1

Ex-Irish maiden hurdler who was fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Hexham (11/2) 42 days ago with tongue tie, then stayed on into fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (10/1) 17 days ago. Returns to chasing over a more suitable trip.

Form: F-5F954

Pescatorius^b,t¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 81| BF

11/10

Best effort yet for this yard when second of 7 in handicap at Perth (1/1) 14 days ago, staying on strongly despite an ill-timed error that cost ground. Looks primed to go one better with this significant step up in trip well worth exploring.

Form: U5-4532

Forecasts

Pescatorius (11/10), Sir Carnegie (2/1), Super Citizen (4/1), Luminaries (18/1), Eveque (20/1)

PESCATORIUS has been knocking on the door of late, staying on strongly despite an ill-timed error last time and with this step up in trip expected to suit, he looks primed to go one better. Super Citizen returns refreshed from a break and he should be a factor at this level. Sir Carnegie is also of interest up in trip.
