Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: William Pyle| T: T D Barron| OR: 66

10/1

Went close in 3-runner novice at Musselburgh on final start last year. However, wasn't able to improve any further when fourth of 9 on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham, before a lesser effort at Ayr last time. Blinkers on first time.

Form: 442-45

Believeinmenow¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 70

10/3

Has shown improved form in handicaps this season, making the frame first 3 outings including when edged out only close home at Beverley in May. Excuses next time and got caught wide after a slow start when third of 7 at Pontefract 17 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 4-42273

Mind Over Matter^b1⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 70

16/1

Runner-up in 6f maiden at Ayr on debut but hasn't gone on from that in 3 starts since. However, fitted in hood he shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when fourth of 7 back at Ayr in May. Blinkers now applied and drop back in trip could suit on handicap bow.

Form: 247-4

Vinciamo^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 70

33/1

Following a breathing operation and fitted with tongue strap, got back to the sort of form he'd shown on debut for previous stable when narrowly denied in a Catterick novice last month. Failed to back that up, though, when well held sent handicapping at York 7 days ago.

Form: 3-3629

Valor Spirit²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 70

7/2

Fair form in 8 starts as a juvenile for Richard Fahey. After 7 months off (gelded), took a step forward on stable debut when second in 11-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 22 days ago, so he's capable of a bold bid with recent run behind him.

Form: 33035-2

Von Trotter^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 69

10/1

Runner-up on all 3 starts in all-weather novice/maidens but well below that level in handicaps the last twice, dropped in grade but again finishing down the field at Thirsk (6f) 2 weeks ago. Visor now reached for.

Form: 22-200

Sierra Sue⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S D Bowen| T: James Horton| OR: 69

33/1

Produced best effort dropped back to 6f when 1½ lengths fifth of 10 in maiden at Leicester (firm) in May. Failed to get home on heavy ground when fourth of 9 in handicap at Goodwood 7 days ago, so the return to less testing conditions should suit now tried over shorter.

Form: 4954

Argy Bhaji³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 67| BF

6/4

Has been holding his form well with runner-up efforts all 4 starts so far this year, twice in handicaps before beaten only by a promising rival back in maiden company at Wolverhampton (5f) 3 days ago. Major player.

Form: 33-2222

(9)

O Fortuna⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56

28/1

Showed more than previously on handicap debut when making the frame at Catterick on return. Hasn't kicked on since, though, tried in cheekpieces (now discarded) when fifth of 9 at Nottingham 6 weeks ago.

Form: 50-4905

Forecasts

Argy Bhaji (6/4), Believeinmenow (10/3), Valor Spirit (7/2), Donald (10/1), Von Trotter (10/1), Mind Over Matter (16/1), O Fortuna (28/1), Vinciamo (33/1), Sierra Sue (33/1)

ARGY BHAJI ran well when finishing second once more in a Wolverhampton maiden 3 days ago and he could be ready to go one better back in a handicap. He can see off the challenge of Believeinmenow who shaped better than the result on his latest outing, with Valor Spirit also in the mix.
