Bruce Banner^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: R Menzies| OR: 55| D

5/6

Dual Flat/hurdles winner who confirmed his return to form when third over C&D in May and ran another solid race when fifth in Ladies Derby at Ripon 5 days ago. Can be competitive again in a refitted visor with Jason Hart taking over.

Form: 7-35235

Lednikov^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 54| D

9/2

Ran out a wide-margin winner of a Southwell handicap (1¾m) in March before indifferent efforts on 2 of next 3 starts on all-weather. However, not disgraced on first turf outing of the year when fifth at Leicester (1½m, good) 10 days ago and his mark is steadily easing.

Form: 917655

Princess Vivi^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 47

8/1

In the frame on her first 2 starts this season and bettered a lesser display at Wolverhampton when second of 7 in handicap at this course (8.5f) 4 weeks ago. Made quite hard work of that however, and she's not sure to be in the same form now upped significantly in trip.

Form: 80-4462

Arch Legend²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 47| D

17/2

On a long losing run but finds himself on a career-low mark and best not judged on his reappearance Newcastle effort having gone off too quick in front. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 08587-0

Satyress¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S D Bowen| T: H Bethell| OR: 47

9/2

Ran best race returning from 9 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (1¼m, good) 2 weeks ago. Step up in trip looks a good move given how she shaped then and she's one to consider for good stable.

Form: 88476-4

Sweet Cicely^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: William Pyle| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 45

66/1

Long-standing maiden who has offered little in 4 starts so far this season. Hard to fancy in a change of headgear.

Form: 59-0009

Forecasts

Bruce Banner (5/6), Dandy's Angel (4/1), Satyress (9/2), Lednikov (9/2), Jedhi Knight (9/2), Princess Vivi (8/1), Arch Legend (17/2), Sweet Cicely (66/1)

BRUCE BANNER finds himself operating 3 lb below the mark he defied at Newcastle last season and, arriving on the back of a string of consistent efforts, he could be the answer with Jason Hart taking over in the saddle. Satyress, Lednikov and Jedhi Knight head up the dangers in a competitive affair.
