8/1

Won a similar event at Navan off this mark last October. Ran one of his best races of the season when second to a subsequent winner on stable debut at Wolverhampton last time. Has solid claims to go one better.

Henery Hawk¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 57

12/1

Multiple all-weather winner. Has placed in successive 3 sprints here, making one of his better starts when close third in this grade (5f) latest. Now 0-24 on turf, though.

Form: 130353

Edmond Halley²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Bethell| OR: 57

3/1

Lightly-raced (fair) maiden in Ireland for Kieran Patrick Cotter. Beaten 4 lengths on return from 12 weeks off at Catterick (5f) last time. Eases in grade on just his second start for yard among the winners.

Form: 50-0075

Head For Freedom⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60

12/1

Sole success came on second career start in Beverley claimer last May. Hasn't matched his juvenile form in 4 starts this season. Has been given a chance by the handicapper ahead of his return from 8 weeks off.

Form: 20-4945

Lord Abama^b⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR: 55| D

4/1

Below form since finishing runner-up at Redcar this time last year. Beaten under 4¼ lengths at Thirsk latest. Hard to be confident he's ready to capitalise on falling mark.

Form: 597784

Macedonian^v1²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 55| D

16/1

Continued out of sorts in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton latest. Hopes pinned on the fitting of more severe headgear.

Form: 47-0899

White Umbrella^b¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: C N Kellett| OR: 52| D

12/1

Completed a Wolverhampton double in this grade last June. Underlined her inconsistency there on latest start. Returns to turf in another change of headgear and isn't totally dismissed off a career-low mark.

Form: 650848

Doon The Glen^v²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 51| D

15/2

Better than ever when notching a second 6f Hamilton success of the season last month. Again below that form when down the field here on Saturday, though.

Form: 347187

Pivotal Terms^h1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 54| D

14/1

Best form to date (including sole success) has come at Newcastle, though was beaten less than a length in better race on turf at Musselburgh in the spring. Typically took strong hold when well held at Newcastle latest. Claims if first-time hood does the trick.

Form: 146250

Sixcor^p¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 48| CD

12/1

Beat a handful of today's rivals when notching a fifth course win over 5f here last month. Wasn't disgraced on a rare all-weather outing at Wolverhampton just 4 days later. Can still be competitive off this mark.

Form: 375314

Ski Angel¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 45| C

25/1

Free-going C&D winner. Unlucky not to win at Wetherby in June prior to finishing third behind a couple producing their best efforts at this course (5f). Well below form both starts since, however, not discounted if on a going day.

Form: 562387

Red Walls³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45| D

100/1

Probably needed the run on return from 5 months off at Wolverhampton latest. Likely to extend his long losing sequence on return to turf, though.

Form: 4088-38

Baby Rover²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Greg Fairley| T: K Scott| OR: 45| D

8/1

Hit-and-miss performer was back to form when 1¼ lengths third to Doon The Glen at Hamilton last time. Has a bit more on from 1 lb out of the handicap in a better race.

Forecasts

Edmond Halley (3/1), Lord Abama (4/1), Water Of Leith (13/2), Monastere (7/1), Lanarra (7/1), Doon The Glen (15/2), Velvet Skies (8/1), Baby Rover (8/1), White Umbrella (12/1), Sixcor (12/1), Henery Hawk (12/1), Head For Freedom (12/1), Pivotal Terms (14/1), Macedonian (16/1), Ski Angel (25/1), Red Walls (100/1)

VELVET SKIES may be able to go one better than on stable debut last month. Water of Leith is a previous winner of this race and could be worth another chance eased in grade. Ski Angel and White Umbrella are a couple to consider at bigger prices.
