Sergeant Mayer⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 58| C| D

11/1

Has won at this course but is yet to fire this season. Regular cheekpieces now discarded and he's tough to fancy despite drop in grade and stable's good form.

Form: 448-069

Get Up Everybody¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 58| BF

11/4

Maiden after 13 starts who made the frame first 2 outings this year, one of which is working out well. Last couple of runs have been below par but his stable is generally in good order and this first dip into 0-60 company could see him figure.

Form: 83-3475

Von Trotter²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

10/1

Runner-up in maiden in March on reappearance but not got near that form in handicaps since, plugging on as if in need of stiffer tests last time.

Form: 2-20076

Oasis Cover²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 60

22/1

Well suited by step back up to 6f when good second of 10 at Redcar for Edward Bethell 28 days ago and should play a leading role in similar company here, though she has changed yards in the meantime.

Form: 556-302

Act Of Violence^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: A W Carroll| OR: 54| BF| CD

10/3

Returns to C&D where he recorded his last win back in 2024. Needed run on first start since leaving David Loughnane when fourth of 6 at Chepstow over 5f (7/4F) 21 days ago and he could make a much greater impact with this under his belt for stable renowned for getting the best out of new recruits.

Form: 4696-84

Jack Rabbit Slims^p,t⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 59| BF

22/1

Still a maiden after 13 starts, though was only beaten a nose at Beverley 25 days ago. Respectable fourth of 8 there 4 days ago and now steps back up to 6f with place claims.

Form: 824424

Mister Sky Blue^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: G Tutty| OR: 49| D

12/1

Placed twice this season including second of 7 at Hamilton in June but only ninth of 18 in a handicap at Thirsk 17 days ago in first-time blinkers, though wasn't ideally placed. Could bounce back but strike rate suggests he's an unlikely winner.

Form: 49-2729

Hurstwood¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: P D Niven| OR: 48| CD

14/1

Four-time C&D winner but has been out of sorts and hard to fancy in current heart despite tumbling mark.

Form: 7-94660

(4)

Indy's Angel^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Connor Beasley| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47| D

6/1

Returned to form when runner-up last 2 starts, including when second of 9 to subsequent winner at Catterick over 7f 10 days ago. Back at 6f but more required to end losing run.

Form: 788022

(10)

Long Shot^p¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| BF

9/1

Went close when second of 7 at Catterick in weak affair over 6f 26 days ago, collared dying strides. Probably remained in form when fourth of 9 over C&D 12 days ago and this looks a realistic race for him to figure in.

Form: 382424

(9)

Lady Bouquet^p²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 46| D

14/1

Continues to give her running, finishing fourth at Hamilton on Thursday. Should be competitive again.

Form: 036434

Forecasts

Get Up Everybody (11/4), Act Of Violence (10/3), Indy's Angel (6/1), Long Shot (9/1), Von Trotter (10/1), Sergeant Mayer (11/1), Mister Sky Blue (12/1), Hurstwood (14/1), Lady Bouquet (14/1), Oasis Cover (22/1), Jack Rabbit Slims (22/1)

C&D winner ACT OF VIOLENCE is potentially well treated on his second outing for a yard almost certain to get the best of him, so he could be the answer. Oasis Cover built on handicap debut/return at the second attempt when runner-up at Redcar so is next best starting out for a new yard, with Get Up Everybody also considered down in class.
