Cascade Hall^h²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 53

13/2

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 20/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and he's opposable.

Form: 320550

Tracker Issue^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: A Nicol| OR: 55

11/2

Twelfth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at this course (10.2f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Others are more appealing.

Form: 640660

Alfred Spero⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: G Tutty| OR: 55

6/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, heavy) 46 days ago. Conditions may have been against him that day and, having shaped well over this C&D on penultimate start, he's one to consider.

Form: 99449

Rampant^v²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 47

13/2

Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Good second of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago and reproduction of that would give him a serious chance.

Form: 436642

Cloud Free²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 46

50/1

One win from 23 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 28/1) 20 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 004370

Stretch²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: John Dawson| OR: 45

66/1

First run since leaving Paul Collins when ninth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Catterick (15.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Down in trip and she will need to find improvement from somewhere in order to emerge on top.

Form: 657-549

(5)

Duchess^t²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: John Berry| OR: 45

14/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 22/1) 20 days ago, well positioned. Not without each-way hope.

Form: 234407

(7)

Nakatomi^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: A D Brown| OR: 48

18/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 14/1) 18 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and equipped with first-time blinkers.

Form: 698800

Himself⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

11/2

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (16.2f, 40/1) 46 days ago. Back down in trip and likely to find one or two too good once more.

Form: 964853

Forecasts

Alfred Spero (6/4), Himself (11/2), Tracker Issue (11/2), Cascade Hall (13/2), Rampant (13/2), Timely Approach (10/1), Flying Scotsman (12/1), Duchess (14/1), Nakatomi (18/1), Cloud Free (50/1), Stretch (66/1)

It's best to draw a line through ALFRED SPERO's effort at Ayr last month and he is appealing here given the promise of his C&D handicap debut fourth prior to that. He could have most to fear from Rampant, who remains winless following 24 attempts, but he went agonisingly close at Wolverhampton last time and is a major player here on that evidence. Flying Scotsman has slipped to an attractive mark and he is also shortlisted.
