(3)

Carolus Magnus³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| D

7/2

Quirky sort. Resumed from 4 months off with a good second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 30 days ago. Not out of things nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 02520-2

(6)

Kings Merchant¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: P A Kirby| OR: 64

6/1

It's now fourteen runs since his last win in 2024 but he comes here in good nick, fourth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 18 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 0-74564

(7)

Jamaican Storm²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Smart| OR: 64

8/1

Got off the mark at Newcastle in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 22 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 832149

(8)

Ziggy's Angel³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61| D

25/1

Made a winning handicap debut at Newcastle in September but mixed record since, beating only one in 7f Doncaster handicap 35 days ago.

Form: 1538-50

(9)

El Pinto⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 60

50/1

Fair sort at 2 yrs but he went wrong way last season and little promise this season. Hasn't looked the easiest of rides too.

Form: 2/576-70

(4)

Jet Warrior¹^{(ex 10)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: B Haslam| OR: 54

7/4

Improving son of Saxon Warrior who gained a first win in 10-runner handicap at Ayr (6f) 9 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Doon The Glen. Well on top at the finish there so bold showing is on the cards under a 5 lb penalty. Engaged Ripon 4.10 Thursday.

Form: 7-58311

(2)

The Gay Blade²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 57| BF| D

9/1

Won 3 6f handicaps at Newcastle early in 2026 but reportedly bled when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (6f) 24 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 114126

(5)

Emerald Army⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

9/2

A fair 7f winner for Declan Carroll in 2025. Shaping well for his new yard this season, faring best of those held up when second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 8 days ago. Big shout off the same mark.

Form: 730-542

(1)

Doon The Glen⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 47

13/2

Arrives in decent nick, second of 10 to Jet Warrior in handicap at Ayr (6f) 9 days ago. Needs considering off an unchanged mark.

Form: 082052

Forecasts

Jet Warrior (2/1), Carolus Magnus (10/3), Emerald Army (9/2), Doon The Glen (13/2), Kings Merchant (8/1), The Gay Blade (10/1), Jamaican Storm (14/1), Ziggy's Angel (33/1), El Pinto (50/1)

EMERALD ARMY has made a good start to life with Ruth Carr and signalled he is ready to strike when runner-up at Catterick last week. He gets the nod over Carolus Magnus who returned with a good Musselburgh second and in-form pair Kings Merchant and Jet Warrior.
