17/2

Gained a second win in her last 3 runs in 5-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f) a week ago. Up 4 lb but this keen-going sort must enter calculations despite a high draw.

Keldeo^p³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 70| D

7/2

Scored at Catterick in April and largely in good form since, cheekpieces back on when second of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f) 39 days ago. Front runner very much one to consider from stall 1.

Over Spiced^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Ray Dawson| T: G Harris| OR: 69| D

22/1

Resumed winning ways at Bath in May and continues in good order, third of 8 in handicap at Newbury (5f) 23 days ago when not ideally placed. Drawn widest of all but can't be discounted. Second in a division of this race last year.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Hogan| T: J & S Birkett| OR: 68| D

50/1

Won 4 times on all-weather in second half of 2025. Looked rusty after 3 months off when last of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 28 days ago. Can strip sharper here.

Form: 1-33695

Beauzon¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67| D

66/1

Completed a remarkable 7-timer in typical fashion from the front at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Off 4 months and without usual headgear when last of 11 in handicap over C&D 14 days ago. Cheekpieces again absent here.

Maharajas Express¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 64| CD

8/1

C&D winner who hinted at a revival when sixth of 11 in handicap over C&D 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Could be coming to the boil and considered off a 3 lb lower mark.

Form: 36-4796

Riffa Spirit³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: D Carroll| OR: 68

80/1

Won at Chelmsford (6f) in August for Simon and Ed Crisford. In good form initially for current yard in the spring but not beaten another rival the last twice (blinkered/tongue tied at Thirsk latest). Bit to prove now.

Form: 18-4387

Knicks¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Shane Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

4/1

Twenty five runs since his last win in 2024 over C&D. Plenty of close calls since, including in a division of this race last year, and again when second of 11 over C&D a fortnight ago (beaten by one who had things go much more her way). Can't be dismissed off an unchanged mark.

Form: 753642

Tanjen²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

7/1

A dual 5f scorer in 2025 but she's yet to fire this season, just seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 29 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 20-5977

Far Too Fizzy⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane| OR: 63

9/2

Made all for an easy success at Lingfield (6f) in January. Off 4 months (gelded) and posted an encouraging fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 8 days ago, fading only late on. This speedy sort is well drawn here back in trip and makes a fair bit of appeal.

Harry Mole⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: George Wood| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 57| BF

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden who arrives in good form, second of 14 in handicap at Bath (5f) last month. Can make his presence felt again.

Form: 44-0522

Forecasts

Keldeo (7/2), Knicks (4/1), Guernsey Lady (4/1), Harry Mole (9/2), Far Too Fizzy (9/2), Tanjen (7/1), Maharajas Express (8/1), J Street (17/2), Over Spiced (22/1), Sam's Xpress (50/1), Beauzon (66/1), Riffa Spirit (80/1)

A wide-open finale but speedy front-runner FAR TOO FIZZY could prove the answer given he should strip much sharper for a recent Wolverhampton fourth after an absence and has a good low draw to attack from. The consistent Keldeo could emerge as the chief threat from stall 1, with Maharajas Express and Knicks also in the mix.
