Nimble Nasher¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 60

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 20/1) 14 days ago. Others look stronger.

Form: 70-487

Angel Of England^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: A D Brown| OR: 60| D

12/1

One win from 21 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 287000

Spun To Gold⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| CD

7/4

Four wins from 12 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (6/5) 9 days ago. Escapes a penalty and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 466111

(3)

Classy Clarets^h³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 57

16/1

Sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes and he's essentially opposable.

Form: 207996

Roaring Ralph^b⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 57

9/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. 10½ lengths seventh of 13 to Spun To Gold in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 45 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 570697

Mister Sky Blue¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: G Tutty| OR: 53| D

8/1

Creditable ½-length second of 14 to Superior Council in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 17 days ago. Should make his presence felt once again.

Form: 383442

(9)

Teardrops^b,t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 46| CD

11/4

2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, easily. Major claims under a penalty.

Form: 089631

Superior Council^b,t¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Cara Tuke⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 50| CD

11/1

9/2, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago by ½ length from Mister Sky Blue, rallying. 2 lb nudge no great hardship and he merits respect.

Form: 753251

Okami⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: P T Midgley| OR: 47| D

50/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, last of 14 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW), slowly away. Off 97 days ahead of this stable debut and probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 4-57970

Forecasts

Spun To Gold (7/4), Teardrops (11/4), Mister Sky Blue (8/1), Roaring Ralph (9/1), Superior Council (11/1), Angel Of England (12/1), Rooska (12/1), Nimble Nasher (16/1), Classy Clarets (16/1), Fircombe Hall (28/1), Okami (50/1)

It's likely that TEARDROPS will take plenty of stopping under a penalty following his thoroughly decisive display over C&D last week. He shades preference ahead of the in-form Spun To Gold, who also scored over C&D on the same card as Teardrops nine days ago and he escapes a penalty for that. Superior Council and Mister Sky Blue filled the first two places in a handicap here last month and they should both be on the premises once more.
