Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50| C| D

5/1

Won 3 times at up to 6f in 2025 (twice over C&D). Hasn't hit the same heights this year and little encouragement to be gleaned from effort at this course last month, but has been given a chance by the handicapper and any market support should be taken seriously.

11/2

Creditable efforts when third twice in April and had excuses when only sixth at Redcar on penultimate outing. Disappointing last time but place claims if able to shrug that effort off.

Brain Freeze^b²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 54| D

7/2

Found improvement when winning 8-runner handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Raced from 2 lb out of the handicap on that occasion, so 3 lb rise looks more than fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 374-051

Arlington^p⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 46| D

11/1

Successful at Southwell in January but has struggled since. Reverts to turf for the first time this year and, whilst he's yet to win on this surface, he went close over C&D off a similar mark last summer.

Form: 30-1705

Dunnington Lad⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Garritty| T: P Winks| OR: 45| CD

5/1

Successful twice over C&D in 2024 but little to enthuse about since. Requires a big leap of faith.

Form: 79U-906

Hyrcanian²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Zak Wheatley| T: R E Barr| OR: 45

22/1

Hit the frame on 3 occasions earlier in her career but is of little account these days.

What A Tahoo¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 46| BF

9/4

In frame 4 of last 5 starts, ½-length third of 9 to Ganthorpe in 6f handicap at Carlisle on latest. Tackles 5f for the first time now and should find a race.

Forecasts

What A Tahoo (9/4), Brain Freeze (7/2), Barmyblade (5/1), Dunnington Lad (5/1), Doralee (11/2), You Mystify Me (8/1), Arlington (11/1), Hyrcanian (22/1), Tanaka (33/1)

BRAIN FREEZE showed improved form when scoring from out of the handicap at Redcar and is fancied to go close if reproducing that effort from just a 3 lb higher mark. What A Tahoo arrives in good heart and rates a major threat if coping with the drop to 5f for the first time, while You Mystify Me also commands respect with a first-time visor fitted.
