Homer Stokes⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron| OR: 55| CD

9/1

Three-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 13/2, sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good) 82 days ago. Well treated if a return to AW sparks a revival.

War Memorial⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ben Sanderson| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 55

66/1

First run since leaving Ivan Furtado when ninth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (6f) 44 days ago. Others are preferred.

Volendam¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

5/1

Modest maiden. 8/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this course (1m) 15 days ago. That was only her third start since joining Tony Carroll and a first win may not be far away.

Form: 947533-

(7)

Bad Habits⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| D

9/2

Off the mark at the 17th time of asking when seeing off 9 rivals at Wolverhampton (72f) 7 days ago, pushed out. Should remain competitive off 3 lb higher.

Form: 353351-

Moyowasi¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Ian Williams| OR: 53

12/1

Maiden. 11/2, first run since leaving Charlie Hills when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 14 days ago. Could build on that first outing for 3 months. Merits consideration.

Imola¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Joey Ramsden| OR: 52

7/4

Remains a maiden after 20 runs but been knocking on the door since joining Joey Ramsden, finishing second of 10 over 1m here 15 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 2326U2-

Summer Evening⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: D Flood| OR: 52

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered first time, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 125/1) 7 days ago.

Yoshimi^p²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Jonny Peate| T: M Herrington| OR: 51| C| D

16/1

Course winner. Ninth of 14 over C&D (33/1) 22 days ago, going off too hard. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 649059-

Bossy Parker^b⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: T Culhane & S Barclay| OR: 46| D

8/1

40/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 42 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Imola (7/4), Bad Habits (9/2), Volendam (5/1), Roaring Ralph (15/2), Bossy Parker (8/1), Homer Stokes (9/1), Moyowasi (12/1), Yoshimi (16/1), Summer Evening (66/1), War Memorial (66/1), Shoptilyoudrop (80/1)

VOLENDAM has quickly found her feet for Tony Carroll and gets a narrow vote over Imola. Moyowasi and last-time-out Wolverhampton scorer Bad Habits are also shortlisted.
