Metal Merchant²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Jack Gilligan| T: J Butler| OR: 84| D

20/1

First run since leaving Brian Toomey when last of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 50/1) 28 days ago. Hardly an obvious one on recent efforts but his stable is enjoying a purple patch so worth a second look in the betting.

Form: 9/00-000

Fantastic Fox⁴²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-13| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 82| CD

10/3

Losing run dates back to January 2024 but he's posted plenty of useful efforts in good-quality handicaps since. Lurks on a dangerous mark now returned to a surface which has often brought out the best in him.

Form: 40570-0

Fight Your Corner¹⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J Tate| OR: 81| D

11/4

This 5-y-o was having only the fourth start of his career when making a winning handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in January, overcoming pace bias. Off since. Should be more to come from a lightly-raced sort who has Billy Loughnane doing the steering.

Form: 351-1

Callianassa²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: B Ellison| OR: 79| BF| CD

9/1

Won this race last year and all 4 of her career wins have been on all-weather, the latest over C&D in February. Reported to have run flat when well held at the Northumberland Plate meeting but she's capable of bouncing back.

One Night Thunder^h⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: G Tutty| OR: 78

22/1

Recorded back-to-back 7f wins at Carlisle last September. Stepped forward from reappearance when third of 10 at Haydock (7f) last month but well held over 1m at Nottingham since.

Penny Time^p1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: H Palmer| OR: 85| D

10/3

Well held on Chester handicap and turf debut last month but displayed significant promise in 1m all-weather novices prior to that. No surprise were he to bounce back with a bang returned to tapeta with cheekpieces also added.

Form: D129

Mr Mistoffelees^p⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: S England| OR: 76| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 11/1, good second of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (1m, firm) 50 days ago, closing all way to line. Enters calculations.

Form: 26-8752

Calyxoh^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Donagh Murphy⁽⁷⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 74

33/1

Back on form for new stable when third of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 090973

Empirestateofmind^p⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 70| D

50/1

Only reasonable effort this year came when fourth of 8 at Ripon in April and he's hard to fancy on recent showings.

Form: 040995

Izzari²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 66| C| D

16/1

Successful twice last year, including 1¼m here. Made the frame on C&D reappearance in March but has struggled in 4 turf outings since. Needs a return to this venue to spark a revival.

Form: 6-48006

Pal Joey³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Aiden Brookes| T: B Haslam| OR: 65| C

25/1

Course winner over 5f in January but has lost his way since. It remains to be seen whether a significant step up in trip improves matters.

Form: 170059

Chuzzlewit²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spencer| OR: 63| CD

11/1

More like it when runner-up over C&D on last 2 starts but he's now 25 runs without success and has to race from 3 lb out of the handicap here.

PENNY TIME met trouble on his handicap and turf debut last time. This son of Mehmas, the sole 3-y-o in this line-up, had done well in novice races on all-weather prior to that and can resume his progression back on an artificial surface. Fellow low-mileage sort Fight Your Corner rates an obvious danger under Loughnane, while Fantastic Fox and Callianassa are much more exposed but have good records over C&D.
