Ideal Guest^h⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 56

13/8

Without a win since final outing in 2023 but he has shaped well on 2 of his 3 outings this year, doing too much too soon (briefly clear entering straight) when fourth of 11 over C&D 8 days ago. Considered.

Form: 350-304

Great Success¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58

10/1

First sign of promise in handicaps when 2 lengths fifth of 8 at Carlisle (6f, good) 14 days ago, nearest finish. That gives him something to build on. Gets the vote.

Form: 384-005

Kyber Crystal^p,t²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: R Menzies| OR: 51| C

12/1

C&D winner last autumn. Below par since reappearance third in April but is well treated again if a return to Pontefract sparks a revival.

Form: 90-3050

Full Gas⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 57

12/1

Some improvement when hitting the frame at Newcastle/Haydock this spring. Raced freely back up to 7f at Redcar since so probably best forgiven that. Cheekpieces worn last twice are left off.

Form: 4-89427

Superstorm^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: C Fellowes| OR: 55

5/1

Modest maiden. Runner-up in 7f Kempton handicap in April but below that level on turf twice since. Needs a drop back to 6f to help spark a revival.

Form: 37-3246

Lady Bouquet^p²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47| D

10/1

Below the mark she defied at Wolverhampton last December and latest 5f course fourth of 7 was respectable. Not discounted under Warren Fentiman.

Form: 6-60364

Ganthorpe⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49| D

14/1

Took advantage of easing mark when opening account in 9-runner handicap at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last month but only seventh of 10 at Redcar since.

Forecasts

Ideal Guest (13/8), Big Apple Jack (7/2), Superstorm (5/1), Lady Bouquet (10/1), Great Success (10/1), Kyber Crystal (12/1), Full Gas (12/1), Ganthorpe (14/1)

GREAT SUCCESS has fewer convictions than most of these and is given a chance to build on a more encouraging run at Carlisle. Ideal Guest briefly looked in control here last time and is a likely threat if ridden a touch more conservatively this time. Kyber Crystal is also feasibly handicapped back at the scene of her latest win.
