Prince Of Bel Lir226
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Sophie Dobson(7)| T: K R Burke| OR:  60
Six-time winner who has struggled recently, finishing eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8/1) 226 days ago when producing a laboured effort. Cheekpieces now removed and looks interesting back over 7f having joined a leading stable.

Showing improved form at this track, finishing second (beaten a head) 28 days ago before finishing third of 11 in handicap over C&D (11/2) 17 days ago when making headway out wide in the final furlong and keeping on. Knocking on the door of a first win.

Concert Boyb3
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-10| J: Mr E Cagney| T: K Scott| OR:  54| CD
Consistent on AW with three C&D wins, most recently scoring here 15 days ago. Finished second of 8 in handicap over 8f (16/5) just 3 days ago, travelling well but narrowly missing out by a head to Aisling Oscar. Clearly in excellent order.

Poor form recently, finished 12th of 13 at this C&D (16/1) 15 days ago when racing too freely after a break and weakening quickly. Cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Aisling Oscar3(ex 5)
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Joshua Brown(5)| T: A Keatley| OR:  45| CD
Recently joined new connections after struggling in Ireland and transformed, winning back-to-back at Newcastle, latterly over 1m 3 days ago. Effectively 3 lb higher so has to remain of serious interest.

Third of 14 at Newcastle three runs back but fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) there 9 days ago, waited with and made little impression when shaken up. Back up in trip to 7f and without a win in 25 races.

Not won in 20 starts since February 2024, finished fifth of 14 in handicap here (6f) at 22/1 17 days ago. Looks to have found his level from lowly mark.

Winless in 10 starts and sixth of 12 in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (18/1) 4 days ago, running better than last time without fully getting back to form.

Finished 4th of 14 in 6f course handicap 17 days ago, slowly into stride with first-time visor but kept on. Needs everything to fall right.

Forecasts

Aisling Oscar (9/4), Concert Boy (7/2), Pit Boss (7/1), Spartan Fighter (8/1), Rory (8/1), Catherine Chroi (12/1), Athollblair Boy (12/1), Prince Of Bel Lir (14/1), Sir Maxi (20/1), Darla's Secret (20/1), Eeetee (33/1)

Verdict

AISLING OSCAR has been transformed since joining new connections, completing a quick-fire Newcastle double in the last week or so, just seeing off Concert Boy over 1m on Tuesday. He can uphold the form with that rival, while Prince of Bel Lir needs a second look starting out for his excellent yard.
