Form: 587-8

(6)

Smokey Malone^b,t²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 56| CD

10/3

C&D winner arrives in fine heart having won his last two at Southwell but rise in grade may scupper his hat-trick bid.

Form: 585-U11

Damzon¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| C

10/3

Made the frame on both starts since recording 7-length success here last month and may have to settle for minor honours again.

(5)

Apache Eagle^t,p¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 45

9/1

First worthwhile form on Flat since 2024 when 50/1-second to The Craftymaster here earlier in the month. Far from certain to back that up.

Forecasts

The Craftymaster (5/2), Not So Sobers (3/1), Smokey Malone (10/3), Damzon (10/3), Sullivan Bay (11/2), Bloodhound (9/1), Apache Eagle (9/1), Definite (10/1), Fornido (12/1)

Having ended a losing run over C&D earlier this month, THE CRAFTYMASTER wasn't seen to anything like best effect in a race run at a muddling pace at Newcastle latest and he's well worth another chance to confirm his revised mark a workable one. Damzon is fancied to prove a big threat. In-form Smokey Malone can also place.
