Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 60

9/2

Improved for the switch to handicaps this spring when placed twice at Yarmouth but hasn't kicked on since. Stable amongst the winners of late, however, and good-value apprentice booked dropping into 0-60 company for the first time. Respected.

Form: 7-32609

14/1

Fared a bit better than previously when 5 lengths fourth of 7 to Vega's Virtue in handicap at this course last time. This requires more, though.

Baldosa⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ethan Tindall⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 51| BF| D

9/4

Gained a first win at the twelfth attempt in 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (1¼m) in July and followed that up with at least as good an effort when 1½ lengths third of 8 to Sahm Naif at Redcar last time. Entitled to give her running again.

Riddikulus^b⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 50| C

5/2

Produced an improved effort in reapplied blinkers when winning 8-runner 1½m handicap here earlier this month but underperformed in similar event at Catterick 5 days ago. Return to this track a positive and looks worth another chance.

Form: 644414

Harswell River^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: C Horgan⁽³⁾| T: Roger Fell| OR: 49

6/1

Redcar winner who added to her good record at that course when neck second of 8 to Sahm Naif in handicap there 8 days ago. Sure to be involved if reproducing that performance here.

Form: 723652

Diamond Aura^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Warren Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 46

6/1

Still a maiden but she signed off for Hugo Palmer with a good second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (1¼m) earlier this month and shaped as if still in form when 2 lengths fourth of 8 to Sahm Naif in handicap at Redcar last time.

Form: 88-5424

Baldosa (9/4), Riddikulus (5/2), Sports Day (9/2), Harswell River (6/1), Diamond Aura (6/1), Balmoral Boy (14/1), Lc Tiffen (100/1)

SPORTS DAY is taken to get back on track under a good-value 7 lb apprentice. Riddikulus won well at this course earlier in the month and will be thereabouts if bouncing back from a below-par effort last time, whilst Baldosa can usually be relied upon to give her running.
