(10)

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

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

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

Form: 99/8629-

Volendam¹⁵

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

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

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.

Moyowasi¹⁴

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

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.

Roaring Ralph^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 53| CD

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. 12/1 and visored first time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago.

Form: 069770-

Imola¹⁵

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

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-

(11)

Summer Evening⁷

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

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

Form: 6/700-

(2)

Yoshimi^p²²

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

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 & S Barclay| OR: 46| D

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

Form: 344805-

(3)

Shoptilyoudrop¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago.

Forecasts

Bad Habits (11/4), Imola (3/1), Volendam (5/1), Homer Stokes (8/1), Moyowasi (8/1), Bossy Parker (10/1), Roaring Ralph (12/1), War Memorial (16/1), Yoshimi (20/1), Shoptilyoudrop (33/1), Summer Evening (50/1)

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.
