Superfortress²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70

9/2

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a good second of 13 in handicap at Beverley (1m) 22 days ago. Well in the mix despite a 2 lb rise.

Form: 24-272

Donna Nook^v,t1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

15/2

Sole win came in 2024 but she took a step back in the right direction with fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (1m) 7 days ago. No forlorn hope with tongue strap added.

The Childe Of Hale³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado| OR: 68

16/1

Got off the mark at Doncaster (7f) last July but has failed to build on it in subsequent runs, ninth of 11 on his return in handicap at Haydock (6f) 39 days ago. Back up in trip now.

Form: 41806-9

Havana Touch³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Butler| OR: 67| D

9/2

Resumed winning ways at Kempton in April and backed it up with a good second of 9 in all-weather handicap at Lingfield (7f) 34 days ago, finishing well having been hampered under 3f out. A player nudged up 1 lb.

Avatar Jet²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Smith⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 67| D

11/1

Has made a bright start for his current yard, scoring at Southwell (1m) in April and following it with a good third of 11 in handicap there (1m) 27 days ago. In the picture once more.

Form: 443/013

Eeetee¹⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 66| D

50/1

Veteran is a 6-time winner but he was badly out of sorts when last seen, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) in December.

Barley^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

3/1

Twenty seven runs since his last win in 2024 but shaped well when second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (1m) 7 days ago, just failing having conceded first run. Weighted to strike off an unchanged mark.

Form: 97-8062

(11)

Kiss Me My Love¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: Roger Fell| OR: 65| D

5/1

Took her form up a notch under more positive tactics when landing 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m) 16 days ago. Up 3 lb but not out of things.

Form: 5-04521

Jesmond Dawn¹¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 63| CD

20/1

C&D winner but he ended 2025 below par and came in only seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) on his return in February. More is needed after another break.

Form: 32780-7

The New Bay Pearl⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 61

40/1

Bought from Roger Varian for 5,000 gns and made no impression in 7f Doncaster handicap 40 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward if she's to get off the mark here.

Form: 73056-0

Travis^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 61

25/1

Winner over 7f at Thirsk last summer. Consistent after, until failing to beat a rival in handicap at Redcar (1m) 16 days ago. The sort to bounce back though.

Form: 232-250

(10)

Perfidia^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| BF| CD

11/1

Reliable sort who gained a deserved success at Hamilton (1m) in May. Posted a good third of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f) 9 days ago so this C&D scorer must enter calculations.

Form: 97-3213

Forecasts

Barley (3/1), Havana Touch (9/2), Superfortress (9/2), Kiss Me My Love (5/1), Donna Nook (15/2), Avatar Jet (11/1), Perfidia (11/1), Amidst The Chaos (12/1), Yafaarr (14/1), The Childe Of Hale (16/1), Jesmond Dawn (20/1), Travis (25/1), The New Bay Pearl (40/1), Eeetee (50/1)

A cracking handicap but BARLEY signalled he is ready to end a long losing run when a short-head second at Hamilton a week ago and can now capitalise on a reduced mark. Amidst The Chaos rates a big threat though on the back of a promising Beverley fourth, while Havana Touch and Superfortress can also have a say.
