Course winner for Marco Botti last year who has run creditably the last twice for present stable, latest when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Doncaster (7f, firm) 33 days ago. Warrants respect.
|
Three alI-weather wins earlier in the year but been more miss than hit since. Visor on first time. Others more convincing.
|
Dual C&D winner in 2026 and back to that sort of form when good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) last month. Undone by testing conditions at Haydock since and better expected here.
|
Winless since his debut success at Newcastle for Karl Burke and hasn't really threatened in recent outings. Others preferred despite his attractive handicap mark.
|
Confirmed promise of stable debut when scoring on all-weather at Lingfield last month and improved on that when following up in 8-runner handicap over same C&D 5 days ago. 6 lb penalty to carry on tapeta debut but looks sure to make another bold bid.
|
Now 5 lb below last winning mark and may have needed the run, back from 5 months off, when respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) 23 days ago. Not discounted.
|
7f winner on debut for Clive Cox last summer and posted easily his most encouraging effort for current yard when third of 14 in handicap over C&D 17 days ago, having run of race. Task now is to build on that.
|
Two 7f/1m all-weather wins since joining Charlie Clover and largely acquitted himself well in defeat more recently. Needs to bounce back from a below-par effort at Wolverhampton, though.
|
Progressed with each of her 3 all-weather starts for Grant Tuer, notably second of 8 in 5f novice at this course in April. However, offered little in a couple of outings for new yard this summer.
|
Off the mark at the second attempt for this yard at Thirsk (7f) in July and remained in good form since, latest when good second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 5/2) 9 days ago, just failing. Not taken lightly on tapeta debut.
|
Off the mark at fifth attempt for David O'Meara when landing 10-runner handicap over C&D 17 days ago. Just 3 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist.
|
Gained breakthrough success at Leicester (1m) in July and backed it up with a good second at Doncaster next time. Not been in same form since, however.
|
Ran up to best when third in Ayr handicap (1¼m) last month. Well below that level at Redcar since but remains relatively unexposed. Makes tapeta debut.
|
Quirky type (regular slow starter) who bounced back to winning ways over C&D in January. Form has been mixed since, well held in similar race here latest. Others more appealing.
|
Forecasts
Royal County Glory (7/2), Captain Cess (5/1), Sailor's Return (6/1), Age Of Baroque (8/1), Aspull (10/1), Gladiadora (10/1), Dream Illusion (10/1), Ceinture D'orion (12/1), Ernie's Valentine (16/1), No Knee Never (16/1), Palmarian (16/1), Dolo's Star (20/1), Soames Forsyte (25/1), Nordic Norm (33/1)
ROYAL COUNTY GLORY has really turned the corner since joining Jack Jones and a 6 lb penalty may not prevent him completing the hat-trick here. Captain Cess and Sailor's Return rate the principal dangers.
