Coolree^p,t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: P J McDonald| T: S England| OR: 69| D

9/2

Dual winner at Beverley in May and finished runner-up there twice since. Rare below-par effort at that track when third of 4 there last week, but the tactical nature of that small-field probably didn't suit him and he's the type that should bounce back quickly.

Polygram¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 68

7/2

Fairly useful form for Harry Charlton last year and has been holding her form well for her new yard, pulling clear of the remainder when second of 5 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, firm) 13 days ago, Should give her running again.

Mount King^b,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

7/2

Seemed to benefit from the fitting of more severe headgear (first-time blinkers) when notching a fourth C&D win in a 7-runner affair 9 days ago. Did well to overcome a pace bias then and he's still well treated on his best form after a 3 lb rise.

Form: 788651

Stella Lucente^b⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Jack Morland| OR: 72| D

4/1

Low-mileage 3-y-o who's steadily improving and showed the best turn of foot having had the run of things from the front when winning a 5-runner handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Player having been raised 5 lb.

Form: 223321

Master Of Entropy¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 69

15/2

Placed in a Newcastle maiden on return but has seemed well summed up by his early handicap marks on his last 3 outings, finishing sixth of 9 at Catterick (7f, firm, 13/2) 18 days ago.

Form: 9-35646

The New Bay Pearl⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: S Whitaker| OR: 55

20/1

Placed 3 times last year for Roger Varian and offered a little bit more than previously for this yard when 3½ lengths fourth of 7 to Mount King in handicap at this C&D (good, 14/1) 9 days ago. Not ideally placed there but others still make more appeal.

Form: 56-0744

(7)

Bradbury^e/c,t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Loughnane| T: E Bethell| OR: 62

6/1

Not straightforward but recorded 1¼m wins at Leicester (good) and Wetherby (good to firm) in June. Shaped as if still in form having been left poorly placed in a slowly-run race at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 12 days ago, so isn't ruled out.

Form: 422116

Forecasts

Polygram (7/2), Mount King (7/2), Stella Lucente (4/1), Coolree (9/2), Bradbury (6/1), Master Of Entropy (15/2), The New Bay Pearl (20/1)

A good heat for the grade, with MOUNT KING fancied to score over C&D for the fifth time, having done well to get up from a disadvantageous position here last week. Recent Hamilton winner Stella Lucente is also respected, with Polygram completing the shortlist.
