Great²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: O J Orr| T: S England| OR: 70

5/1

Maiden winner at Windsor last season prior to making frame in 2 Kempton handicaps. Yet to get going in 3 starts for new yard this campaign, though.

Pension Pot¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Pyle| T: T D Barron| OR: 69

6/1

Some promise in 3 novices last season but failed to settle switched to handicaps this spring. Return to 7f should suit.

Form: 424-57

(5)

Native Honey¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 68| CD

5/1

Finally off the mark over C&D last summer. Not at that level in 3 starts since but at least showed a bit more at Hamilton 17 days ago.

Form: 6714-07

Tattie Bogle¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 68| D

11/2

Gained reward for several good efforts when narrow winner at Musselburgh last month. Easy to forgive next run and expected to bounce back.

Form: 425318

Qazaq²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: I Jardine| OR: 67| D

10/3

Has dropped a long way in the weights and was perhaps unlucky not to end losing run at Musselburgh last month. Not seen to best effect there 3 weeks ago so worth another chance.

Macedonian⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 65

Won at Kempton early last season for Simon & Ed Crisford but has posted just 2 creditable efforts in 8 starts for this yard.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

9/2

Ended a long losing sequence at Wolverhampton in March and put a couple of below-par efforts behind him when second over C&D 2 weeks ago. Needs things to drop right.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 62| DWS

Age: 10| Weight: 8-4| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 51| C| D

33/1

Not the most reliable but did manage a win at Musselburgh last season. Opposable on balance after 6 months off.

Forecasts

Habrdi (11/4), Qazaq (4/1), Pension Pot (5/1), Great (5/1), Tattie Bogle (6/1), Native Honey (7/1), Rwenearlytheredad (25/1), Golden Valour (25/1), Macedonian (25/1)

QAZAQ wasn't seen to best effect last time so is worth another chance having looked unlucky at Musselburgh the time before. Tattie Bogle is another who is best not judged on his last run, while the drop back to 7f looks a good move for the free-going Pension Pot.
