Hvar³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 65| D

22/1

Progressive form for Ralph Beckett last autumn, culminating with all-weather novice success, but well held in 4 turf handicaps for new yard.

Form: 41-0070

(4)

Tie Fighter^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

11/1

Fair maiden. Blinkered first time (retained), respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 20 days ago. Ought to be in the mix under Tom Marquand.

Form: 624-474

(7)

Mare Of London³⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Walford| OR: 62

10/1

Modest form at 2 for George Scott. Sold for 5,000 gns last autumn ahead of this first outing for 10 months. Best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.

Lamlash Bay¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 9 on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, firm) 10 days ago. Remains unexposed.

Form: 04-45

(3)

Soul Warrior²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 59| D

6/1

Sprung a 40/1 surprise in 6f Redcar nursery (good) last September but hasn't come close to reproducing that in 2 runs this year.

Form: 8881-80

(2)

Northern Tempest^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 56

11/2

Got back to the pick of his 2-y-o form when third over C&D in May. Has had possible excuses for 2 lesser efforts since and being eased another 2 lb can only help. Enters calculations back at Ripon.

Form: 4-08346

(5)

Havana Oaks²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Barry McHugh| T: I Furtado| OR: 55

28/1

Comfortably held in 3 qualifying runs but handicaps provide her with a more realistic chance of success.

Form: 55-6

(6)

Long Shot^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| BF

5/2

Came very close to opening his account at Catterick (6f, firm) 14 days ago and good shout if showing up here in similar form.

Form: 6-38242

Forecasts

Long Shot (5/2), Lamlash Bay (9/2), Brash (5/1), Northern Tempest (11/2), Soul Warrior (6/1), Mare Of London (10/1), Tie Fighter (11/1), Hvar (22/1), Havana Oaks (28/1)

LONG SHOT can gain compensation for a recent Catterick near miss and provide Tim Easterby with a fourth win in this race in the last 5 years. Northern Tempest is 4 lb lower than when third over C&D in May and could prove the chief threat ahead of Tie Fighter.
