Shady Bay^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Taryn Langley| T: T Ward| OR: 75| C| D

4/1

Proved as good as ever when registering a fourth career success at Nottingham (1¼m) on reappearance in April. Confirmed that improvement when beaten only by a pair of 3-y-os back there since and should remain competitive.

Form: 5776-13

Vino Sauro²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: C J Whiteley⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 75

50/1

Ran about as well as could be expected back on these shores for the first time since his debut when sixth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago. Stamina to prove over this longer trip.

Form: 330-006

Redbud Sixteen⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Vigors⁽³⁾| T: Charlie Pike| OR: 70

5/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 10-runner handicap (20/1) at Salisbury (1¼m, good) 9 days ago, easily. Remains unexposed for current yard and much respected under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 723-81

Yokohama¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Mason Paetel| T: J Butler| OR: 73| BF| C

15/8

Gained a first win since his debut in 15-runner handicap here (1½m) in May, always holding on. Left the impression softer conditions blunted his speed at Yarmouth subsequently and remains of interest.

Form: 47-0513

Expressionless^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Ashley Lewis| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 72

6/1

Resumed winning ways at Leicester (1½m) in April. Ran a solid race in defeat at Newmarket (1¼m) 2 starts later but ran badly in the face of a stiff task at Goodwood last time.

Form: 4-31038

(8)

Robusto^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Ffrench-Davis| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 69

14/1

Ended a long losing run in reapplied blinkers in 6-runner event at Wolverhampton (1¾m) in April, deserving credit given the runner-up was much better suited by how the race unfolded. Found life tougher in a more competitive race from a 3 lb higher mark at Kempton since, however.

Form: 263015

Grey Fox^t²²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Millie Wonnacott| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 66| C

25/1

Course winner who is entitled to strip fitter for his recent return at Windsor (1¼m) and is now 2 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 2/1549-6

(5)

Raintown^p⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: K S McHugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 62| C

28/1

Course winner who was always last of the 4 after missing the kick at Bath on most recent outing. Comes with obvious risks attached.

Form: 5-87834

Brodie's Boy²²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Myla Coppins⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60

22/1

Shaped well on the back of a breathing operation in a race that didn't pan out well for him when fourth of 7 at Kempton (11f) in March. However, ran poorly back on turf at Windsor 11 weeks later.

Forecasts

Yokohama (15/8), Redbud Sixteen (5/2), Shady Bay (4/1), Expressionless (6/1), Tiger (13/2), Harlington (8/1), Robusto (14/1), Brodie's Boy (22/1), Grey Fox (25/1), Raintown (28/1), Vino Sauro (50/1)

There's nothing at all wrong with the form of YOKOHAMA's C&D success 2 starts back and he's well worth another chance having seemingly been blunted by softer conditions at Yarmouth subsequently. Redbud Sixteen is still unexposed and merits obvious respect under a 5-lb penalty for her recent Salisbury win, while Tiger and Shady Bay are two other in-form rivals to consider.
