Bang On The Bell^b³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 55| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Largely below par this season, following a good C&D third with a below-par eighth at Southwell (5f) 34 days ago. Handily weighted if on a going day.

Form: 878538

(11)

Sonic Si²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54

11/4

Is 0-13 but comes here in decent form, third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago. Possibilities.

Form: 7-74343

(13)

Chasing Gold^t¹⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Michael Keady| OR: 54

14/1

Still a maiden but he posted a good third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) when last seen out in December. Place prospects once more.

Form: 446433-

Diamondsinthesand²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: A Wintle| OR: 54

14/1

A three-time winner last season but he came in last of 7 in handicap at Bath (5f) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 2268-77

(6)

Barmyblade¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 53| D

15/2

Won 3 times at up to 6f in 2025. Took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f) 12 days ago. Can race off a 2 lb lower mark and not without interest for yard among the winners.

Form: 000-046

(3)

Charging Bull^h,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: Michael Keady| OR: 52

33/1

Headstrong sort who was too free when last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 29 days ago. Makes turf debut with hood back on.

Form: 500728

(7)

Masterclass^b²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P T Midgley| OR: 49| CD

2/1

Took this event 12 months ago but winless since but he failed to build on a solid reappearance fourth when only eighth of 14 in handicap at Doncaster (5f) 25 days ago. Quirky sort so no surprise if he bounced back though.

Form: 0638-48

(9)

Top Star^b1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 48

22/1

Yet to get his head in front and cheekpieces on when a respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 19 days ago. Tried in different headgear here.

Form: 528274

(2)

Mister Mcgregor^v1³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 47

33/1

Remains a maiden after 23 runs and tried blinkered when fourteenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 31 days ago. Visor is tried now. Unreliable sort.

Form: 48-5290

(1)

Timebar^b,t³⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 46

12/1

Reliable sort but he's been off for 11 months since posting a good second of 8 in classified event here (6f). Needs to hit the ground running.

Form: 755342-

(8)

Nad Alshiba Snow^t²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Murphy| OR: 46

20/1

Is 0-18 and he came in a below-form third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Others are preferred.

Form: 445-543

(4)

Poetic Jack^v¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45| BF

16/1

It's now fifteen runs since his last win in 2024 but he's been largely in good nick this season, ridden too aggressively when eighth in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 19 days ago.

Form: 3-25448

(5)

Dunnington Lad¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: P Winks| OR: 45| D

40/1

Successful twice over 5f at Ripon in 2024 but little to enthuse about since, ninth of 11 on his return at Redcar (6f) 12 days ago.

Form: 0779U-9

Forecasts

Masterclass (2/1), Sonic Si (11/4), Irish Dancer (3/1), Bang On The Bell (13/2), Barmyblade (15/2), Timebar (12/1), Diamondsinthesand (14/1), Chasing Gold (14/1), Poetic Jack (16/1), Nad Alshiba Snow (20/1), Top Star (22/1), Charging Bull (33/1), Mister Mcgregor (33/1), Dunnington Lad (40/1)

BARMYBLADE hinted at a revival when sixth at Redcar last time and with the Tim Easterby yard going really well he is worth siding with to capitalise on a reduced mark. Recent Catterick scorer Irish Dancer rates the obvious threat under a 5 lb penalty, while Chasing Gold, Masterclass and Bang On The Bell all need factoring in too.
