Stirrup Cup^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70| CD

5/2

Built on earlier promise this season when landing 8-runner apprentice handicap at Carlisle (6f) 9 days ago. This C&D winner escapes a penalty here so holds leading claims.

Form: 38-2391

Catalyse^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 69| CD

14/1

Regressive last season for Richard Fahey and has fared no better in 3 starts for new yard this year. Has something to prove.

Form: 039-000

Pop Star^t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 69| BF| D

7/1

Tongue strap reapplied when back to winning ways in 5f handicap at Carlisle in May. Didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when a solid fourth to Stirrup Cup there (6f) 9 days ago so can't be ruled out.

Form: 000014

Emperor's Son⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

15/2

Added to his debut success at Wolverhampton (5f) in January. Largely in good nick since, back from 4 months off with fourth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f) 9 days ago.

Form: 3-13694

Maldevious²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 64

17/2

Still a maiden but she comes here in decent form, fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago.

Form: 47-4944

Annie Edson Taylor^b,t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 64| CD

5/1

Resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) 12 days ago. This C&D winner needs considering despite 2 lb weights rise.

Form: 260-461

(5)

Iris Dancer⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: T Davidson| OR: 56| CD

7/2

Took this 12 months ago and she bagged a remarkable 10th C&D victory in 6-runner handicap 7 days ago. Saddles a 4 lb penalty but remains handily weighted on old form. Player.

Form: 204061

(2)

Doon The Glen^v⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46| CD

11/1

Refitted with a visor when gaining a first handicap victory in 7-runner event over C&D 7 days ago, suited by way race developed. Not out of things under a 5 lb penalty with headgear retained.

Form: 052561

Forecasts

Stirrup Cup (5/2), Iris Dancer (7/2), Annie Edson Taylor (5/1), Pop Star (7/1), Emperor's Son (15/2), Maldevious (17/2), Doon The Glen (11/1), Catalyse (14/1)

A competitive sprint but it's still hard to ignore the claims of STIRRUP CUP, who is proving consistent this season and goes unpenalised for a recent apprentice victory at Carlisle. Course specialist and 2024 victor Iris Dancer should ensure Tim Easterby's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, while fellow C&D scorers Doon The Glen and Annie Edson Taylor can also play a prominent role.
