Volto Di Medusa^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 70| BF

7/2

Won at Southwell and finished close second in a strong handicap for the grade at this course. Fifth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7/2) 19 days ago, paying the price for a big move into contention. Should have more races in him for this yard.

Form: 36-8125

Tortured Soul¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Watson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 68| C

12/1

In fine form earlier this year, including two 2nd places in March but form has dipped. Last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (40/1) 15 days ago, ran poorly. Back below his last winning mark with Jason Watson taking over from an apprentice but still has a bit to prove down significantly in trip.

Form: 222000

Super Hit^t,p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 65

6/1

In better heart of late with consecutive seconds, beaten by a 3-y-o at Southwell before chasing home a well-treated one when finishing second of 12 in handicap at Kempton Park (4/1) 12 days ago when confirming return to form. Should give another good account.

Form: 044922

Oman¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65

25/1

Shaped much better than the result when finishing ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16/1) 19 days ago, denied a run and barely came off the bridle. Market should offer some clues (yard also saddle Tortured Soul) but he looks potentially well-treated if able to build on latest run.

Form: 686809

Mc'ted^p⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alice Bond⁽⁷⁾| T: Martin Dunne| OR: 63| CD

13/2

Has won both starts since switching yards, including at Wolverhampton over 9f two weeks ago. Won comfortably in 13-runner handicap at Brighton over 10f (10/3) just 9 days ago, quickening to lead final 1f and finishing well on top. Could make a bold-bid for the hat-trick back at this course.

Form: 482711

Flatley^p⁶⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 63| CD

18/1

Won a C&D handicap in March and had remained in decent heart prior to finishing last of 9 in 7f handicap at Ffos Las (10/1) 64 days ago, took strong hold and faded after being pushed along. Has been freshened up for this (has won off a break previously) and has place claims if back on song.

Form: 169249

(11)

Inns Of Fear^p,t²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 66

9/2

Finished fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12/1) 23 days ago, tracking pace but unable to quicken in first-time blinkers (now wears cheekpieces). Steps back up in trip with good value claiming jockey aboard for first time but remains to be seen whether he improves.

Form: 435654

Antiquity¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 66

8/1

Inconsistent since April win. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (40/1) 17 days ago, dwelt at start and raced freely, never threatening. Below winning mark now and worth a check to see if the market expects a better showing.

Form: 164709

(13)

King Of Speed^t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 62| CD

25/1

Has shown consistent form in handicaps and finished 4th of 10 at Bath (11/2) 25 days ago, hampered at start but made headway under pressure. Has 3 C&D wins at Wolverhampton and no surprise to see him give his running again if getting the breaks from the widest stall.

Form: 362344

(9)

Duca Di Lucca^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Woods| OR: 66

9/2

Won on debut but winless in 5 subsequent starts, off 10 weeks prior to finishing sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7/1) 7 days ago, racing off pace before making late headway. Will need to take a step forward to resume winning ways.

Form: 1-85056

(7)

Token Love^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 65

66/1

Flattering standout effort when second in novice but finished last of 10 on handicap debut at Redcar (150/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip on first all-weather attempt and remains to be seen if he can recapture earlier promise.

Form: 4270

(4)

Eden Storm^p⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Morris| OR: 59| BF| C

16/1

Two-time course winner is without a win for 18 runs but is now on a handy mark. Ran well retried in cheekpieces (retained) when 2nd of 8 in a handicap at Wolverhampton over 7f (3/1) 53 days ago. One for the shortlist stepping back up in trip.

Forecasts

Volto Di Medusa (7/2), Inns Of Fear (9/2), Duca Di Lucca (9/2), Super Hit (6/1), Mc'ted (13/2), Antiquity (8/1), Tortured Soul (12/1), Reddeef (12/1), Eden Storm (16/1), Flatley (18/1), Oman (25/1), King Of Speed (25/1), Token Love (66/1)

VOLTO DI MEDUSA split a couple of next-time-out winners when runner-up at this track last month (not seen to best effect here 19 days ago) and he appeals most, while it would be no surprise to see hat-trick seeking Mc'Ted continue his rich vein of form, having won both starts since switching yards. Eden Storm returns to a venue where he's won twice and remains of interest from his current mark.
