Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Handicap

(8)

Kirkdale^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 75| D

4/1

9/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 7 days ago. Visor back on. Likely to remain very competitive after a 5 lb rise.

Form: 6224-41

(9)

Thankuappreciate³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 70| CD

15/2

C&D winner in February. Creditable efforts over 7f both starts since, latterly here. Should be at least as effective back at 6f. One the shortlist.

Form: 04-4134

(4)

Farandaway²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 70| D

9/4

Consistent in handicaps this year but stepped up even on those efforts when finally off the mark in 6f Newcastle maiden 23 days ago. The handicapper might have taken a chance leaving his mark unchanged.

Form: 7-44321

(5)

Early Release²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 70| CD

40/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton (6f) in March. Last of 6 over 5f here since but may fare better back at 6f.

Form: 19-0816

(6)

Jesse Luc^t,p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 69| BF| CD

7/2

Three-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 over C&D 32 days ago, although didn't look the heartiest under pressure. Back on a winning mark.

Form: 36-4535

(2)

Northcliff^v¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: T Faulkner| OR: 67| D

9/2

Three turf wins last spring but has struggled on all-weather this winter.

Form: 9000-00

(1)

Wish This^p1¹⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: A D Brown| OR: 67| D

25/1

Blinkered first time, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) in November by ½ length from Kirkdale. First-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers now. Much depends on whether he's fully primed after 6 months off.

Form: 384951-

Sherlock¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 62| BF

5/1

Breakthrough Newcastle win over 5f at Newcastle in February was his 20th career start but first over a sprint trip. Sent off at 2/1 to follow up over 6f there but met all sorts of trouble and can have that run ignored. Player.

Form: 3-85419

Forecasts

Kirkdale (5/2), Farandaway (3/1), Jesse Luc (11/2), Sherlock (6/1), Thankuappreciate (7/1), Wish This (10/1), Early Release (10/1), Fan Mail (14/1), Northcliff (33/1)

FARANDAWAY got away without having his mark raised for his Newcastle maiden success and is selected to take advantage, perhaps at the chief expense of Sherlock who didn't get the chance to show what he could do from his revised mark last time. Last Saturday's Wolverhampton scorer Kirkdale and Declan Carroll's Thankuappreciate are others likely to have a say.
