Keats House¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| C

15/2

Course winner over 1m last September and seems to be gradually working his way back to form this season, finishing a respectable fifth of 12 at Redcar (1m, good) 10 days ago. Considered.

Form: 142-775

Mayor Of Maghera^p1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: R M Smith| OR: 61| C

7/4

Sole win came over 1m here in 2024. No show over hurdles for Gerald Stephen Quinn but better signs back on the Flat for new yard in recent weeks, including a third over C&D.

Form: 5664-34

(5)

Bay Dream Believer^h¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford| OR: 61

11/1

Temperamental sort. Back to winning ways at Pontefract this month but only seventh of 8 at Ripon (1¼m, good to firm) since. Bounce back needed.

Form: 9-00517

(2)

Second Fiddle^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes| T: I Jardine| OR: 60

11/2

Won 6 of her first 7 starts for current yard but has struggled in 6 outings this season, beaten 8 lengths when fourth of 6 at Hamilton (1m) latest. On a good mark again but could only consider if backed.

Form: 700804

Perfidia^p⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

5/2

Generally reliable performer who landed a second win of the season when making all in 1m Nottingham apprentice handicap under Jake Dickson last week. Escapes a penalty and another bold bid seems assured.

Form: 213591

Without Delay^p⁴⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47| C

22/1

Course winner. Best effort this year when third at Catterick (7f, good) last month but always behind after a slow start back there since.

Form: 60-0530

(7)

Approaching Dawn⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46| C

10/1

Vastly improved when getting off the mark in 1m handicap here this month. Another creditable effort at this venue (1m again) when third of 7 last week. Often doesn't help himself with slow starts.

Form: 875193

Forecasts

Mayor Of Maghera (7/4), Perfidia (5/2), Second Fiddle (11/2), Keats House (15/2), Approaching Dawn (10/1), Bay Dream Believer (11/1), Without Delay (22/1)

PERFIDIA is unpenalised for last week's Nottingham success and is taken to go in again, perhaps at the main expense of Keats House who seems to be working his way back to form.
