11/2

Scored at Newcastle (7f) in November and back on song of late, third of 14 to Travis in handicap at Redcar (7f) 14 days ago when not ideally placed. Can make his presence felt.

Travis¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: William Pyle| T: G A Harker| OR: 65| D

9/2

Bounced back to form (without usual headgear) when landing 14-runner handicap at Redcar (7f) 14 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Reginald Charles. Enjoyed the run of the race there though and 6 lb higher now.

Form: 2-25001

Qazaq^b1¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Mark Winn| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| BF| D

7/1

Winless since 2024 but he arrives in good nick, cheekpieces on for 1st time when third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 11 days ago. Blinkers reached for here and not out of things.

Form: 726453

Tropez Power⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 63| D

12/1

Twenty three runs since his last win in 2024 and he came in last of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f) 57 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 0456-68

Reginald Charles¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 62| D

6/1

Ended 2025 with 7f success at Southwell and performing well this season, second of 14 behind Travis in 7f Redcar handicap 2 weeks ago. No reason why he won't give another good account.

Form: 21-6352

Dr Rio²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: Zak Wheatley| T: D Carroll| OR: 62| CD

25/1

A 6-time course winner. Good third over 8.5f here in May before only eighth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (11f) 24 days ago. Type to bounce back returned to this venue, however.

Form: 15-5438

The Sweet Escape^t²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: D Loughnane| OR: 60| BF

7/2

Opened his account at Nottingham (1m) in April and mainly run with credit since, sixth of 11 in 1m Hamilton handicap last time. Does need to step up again if he's to play a lead role here, though.

Form: 162446

Sunny Orange^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| CD

8/1

A 4-time course winner, including this race 12 months ago. Not at his best when fourth of 6 over C&D 10 days ago but the sort to bounce back round here returning to class 6 company.

Form: 130744

Sir David²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57| D

16/1

Sole success came over 7f at Carlisle last August for Stella Barclay. Easily best run for his current yard when second of 10 back there 25 days ago. Not taken lightly nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 9-00082

(4)

King Sharja¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 56| BF| CD

14/1

A 3-time C&D winner who comes here on the back of a solid fourth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7f) 18 days ago. Weighted to go well eased 1 lb.

Form: 03-0224

Electric Lightning⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 55

22/1

Free-going type who gained sole win at Doncaster (1m) last summer. Yet to fire in a pair of 7f/1m handicaps at Redcar this season so has something to prove.

Form: 1548-00

Forecasts

The Sweet Escape (7/2), Travis (9/2), Jesmond Dawn (11/2), Reginald Charles (6/1), Qazaq (7/1), Sunny Orange (8/1), Tropez Power (12/1), King Sharja (14/1), Sir David (16/1), Electric Lightning (22/1), Dr Rio (25/1)

This is wide open but KING SHARJA rates just the pick of the weights so is taken to bag a fourth C&D success and edge out resurgent Carlisle runner-up Sir David. Both Jesmond Dawn and Reginald Charles can also play a prominent role.
