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.

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

33/1

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.

Emerald Army⁸

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

10/3

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

Forecasts

Jet Warrior (2/1), Emerald Army (10/3), Kings Merchant (10/3), Carolus Magnus (7/2), Jamaican Storm (4/1), Doon The Glen (9/1), Ziggy's Angel (11/1), The Gay Blade (12/1), El Pinto (33/1)

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.
