Garden Oasis^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Jake Dickson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

7/2

A 3-time 1m winner in 2025. Shaping well this season until only eighth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (1¼m) 18 days ago. This veteran needs considering back at 1m and down in class.

Form: 9-72338

Rajapour^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Vigors⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74| D

7/2

On a losing run but knocking on the door again, nearest finish when third of 11 in handicap at Beverley 19 days ago. Very much one to consider back over this slightly longer trip now.

Flying Fletcher¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| D

7/2

Scored at Newcastle (1m) in January and has continued in good nick, fourth of 12 in another 1m handicap there 13 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages.

Form: 238574

Roaring Ralph^b²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Rhys Elliott| T: M Dods| OR: 73| D

11/4

Resurgent since the turn of the year, bringing up an all-weather hat-trick at Southwell (1m) in March. Quickly resumed winning ways at Ayr (7f) 26 days ago and looks sure to go well again from 3 lb higher back up to 1m.

Form: 211121

(7)

Great Blasket^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Lloyd Applegate⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 71| D

4/1

Not the most consistent of performers but he posted his best run this season when third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (1m) 15 days ago. Weighted to go well if on his A-game once more.

Form: 006-943

(1)

Popeye Doyle^b1,t²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shay Farmer⁽³⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 67| D

20/1

Two all-weather wins for Hugo Palmer last summer but has failed to beat a rival in a pair of handicaps for new yard, last of 11 at Ripon (1¼m) 29 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Form: 11336-0

(6)

Sunny Orange^p¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: C Horgan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

12/1

Bagged a fourth win at Beverley in April but his more recent form is not so encouraging, seventh of 11 in handicap there 19 days ago.

Form: 9-61307

Forecasts

Roaring Ralph (7/4), Great Blasket (10/3), Rajapour (4/1), Flying Fletcher (13/2), Garden Oasis (8/1), Sunny Orange (12/1), Popeye Doyle (33/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but ROARING RALPH continues to go from strength to strength and is fancied to garner win number five of the season now stepped back up to 1m. Rajapour could emerge as the main danger with this stiffer test of stamina a plus.
