Jenni⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 60| D

11/2

Ended last season on a low note and has failed to fire in 2 runs back this year but it wouldn't be a surprise to see her fare much better in this grade under a change of tactics from a good draw.

Form: 8380-90

Saisons D'Or²³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-9| J: Warren Fentiman| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 60| BF| CD

7/1

3-time C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet at Southwell in April. Below form on both subsequent outings but possibilities if returning to form.

Form: 704157

Classy Clarets^h⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Nicholls| T: I Jardine| OR: 55| D

4/1

Headstrong sort who notched a third win of the year in 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7f) last week, just holding on. Likely to find life tougher under a 5-lb penalty.

Form: 132451

(9)

Filey Beach³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Taryn Langley⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 59| BF| CD

3/1

Made it 3 wins from 4 visits to this track over C&D in May. Had winning run ended back on all-weather since but of more interest now returning to turf.

Form: 0-84113

Groundsman^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 59| D

28/1

Failed to come on for recent run when beating only one home in 6-runner handicap (22/1) at Carlisle (6f, soft) 29 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 1363-85

(3)

Coconut Bay⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Elliott⁽³⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 54| CD

7/2

3-time C&D winner who ran respectably when 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Classy Clarets in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago, paying for giving closest chase to the winner at a strong pace. Dangerous to dismiss back at this venue.

Form: 7-83074

(8)

Without Delay^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Lauren Young⁽³⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47| CD

9/1

Won this race last year from a 7 lb higher mark but has been below form the last twice.

Form: 0-05307

(6)

Indy's Angel^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

12/1

Remains with just one win to her name but returned to form back at 6f when second of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (good to firm) 7 days ago, albeit well drawn and outbattled by the winner. Remains to be seen if able to back that up.

Form: 878802

Summer Rain^p1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Alex Jary| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 45

40/1

Still a maiden and he's offered little in 3 runs for his new yard this summer. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 407-059

Forecasts

Filey Beach (3/1), Coconut Bay (7/2), Classy Clarets (4/1), Jenni (11/2), Saisons D'Or (7/1), Without Delay (9/1), Indy's Angel (12/1), Groundsman (28/1), Summer Rain (40/1)

JENNI has shown little in 2 runs back this year but has eased markedly in the weights and could fare appreciably better in this lower grade under a change of tactics from a good draw. Filey Beach and Coconut Bay head the dangers.
