Veblen Good¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 89| D

7/2

Making seasonal/stable debut, doubled his tally at Pontefract in April and bounced back from a lesser effort when third of 10 at Thirsk 19 days ago, despite having been caught further back than ideal. Needs things to drop right but he's respected.

Form: 467-103

Lord Roxby¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 83| D

7/2

Returned to best when winning 20-runner handicap at York in May and backed that up with a creditable fourth at the same course last month. Ran just respectably, though, when fifth of 10 at Thirsk 19 days ago.

Form: 2-90145

Gentle George⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: R M Smith| OR: 87| D

18/1

Successful twice for Mick Appleby last year but has struggled for form in a trio of handicaps for current yard this season, tried over 1m when down the field at York 9 days ago. Others more persuasive back down in trip.

Form: 116-009

Jordan Electrics^p1³

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82| CD

11/4

Without a win for a while but from his reduced mark he fared better than of late when 1¾ lengths third of 7 in Scottish Stewards' Cup at Hamilton 3 days ago. Cheekpieces applied and this 3-time C&D winner could be set for a bold showing.

Form: 695483

Azure Zain²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

10/1

Left behind his reappearance effort when gaining a first handicap success at Ascot in May. However, ran poorly when last of 6 at Pontefract on his latest outing. Relatively low mileage but hasn't been the easiest to catch right.

Form: 335-016

Clonmacash^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: C Lee| T: A McGuinness| OR: 73| D

8/1

Successful twice at Dundalk this year and arrives in good heart, third of 11 in minor event at Limerick (6.7f) 9 days ago. Irish raider who can make his presence felt back in handicap company.

Form: 953543

Oriental Prince¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| D

16/1

7-time winner in 2025 (6 victories on all-weather) and ran well when close third at Southwell in January. Hasn't quite matched that form back on turf, though wasn't disgraced after a slow start when 1½ lengths fourth of 7 at Doncaster (5f) 17 days ago.

Form: 305074

Dandy Magic¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70| BF| C| D

8/1

Regular slow starter who got back on track when fourth of 17 over this C&D early this month. After just 3 days off, again saw her race out well when filling the same position in 8-runner contest at Carlisle last time. Back down to her last winning mark.

Form: 230044

(9)

The Caltonian^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 69| D

33/1

Bounced back to winning ways at Newcastle in January and ran creditably when fifth of 14 there last month. However, is yet to win on turf (rated much lower on this surface) and could finish only twelfth of 17 over C&D 2 weeks ago.

Form: 6-10050

Forecasts

Jordan Electrics (11/4), Lord Roxby (7/2), Veblen Good (7/2), Dandy Magic (8/1), Clonmacash (8/1), Azure Zain (10/1), Oriental Prince (16/1), Gentle George (18/1), The Caltonian (33/1)

JORDAN ELECTRICS finished closer than previously this season when third at Hamilton 3 days ago and, with cheekpieces on first time, he could be ready to get back to winning ways. Veblen Good could still have more to offer for his current yard and is feared most, with Clonmacash also considered.
