Hamidans Girl²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D C Costello| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 67

16/1

Still a maiden after nine attempts; best efforts when second under similar conditions on racecourse debut at Musselburgh last year, and when third at same track on seasonal return last month. However, she's posted two poor efforts since and now has something to prove - especially under topweight.

Form: 70-4375

Bithynia^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Neil Farley| T: C N Kellett| OR: 67

16/1

Bidding to get off the mark at the 13th time of asking but at least comes here on the back of a solid effort last time out. Not much to find to make the frame in this company. One to bear in mind now she's settled in at her new yard.

Form: 2-33402

(10)

Bay Station²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: J Ward| OR: 65| D

33/1

Shock winner of a maiden on debut at Beverley but has found life tough in handicaps since. Recent form not good enough and improvement required.

Form: 109-57

(9)

Tranquil Daze^v1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 65

20/1

Won on the AW from a mark of 60 in February but hasn't looked capable of backing it up since reassessed. Visor applied in an effort to counter a poor effort last time but significant improvement required.

Form: 313440

Dapper Man^b⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁷⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 58| D

15/8

Dropped to handy mark and came good at Wetherby earlier in the week. This is a bit tougher but he won with a bit in hand and it looks a logical move to send the gelding out under a penalty. Analysis of past winners suggest a double-figure draw is advantageous, so also fares well on that count. Sound chance with a claimer easing the burden at the weights.

Form: 627681

Mr Strutter^h³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 61| BF| D

8/1

Already won a low-grade handicap and a seller this season but form hit the buffers last tine out. Possible he can bounce back in this modest company but he may find it difficult to dominate from his low draw.

Form: 446117

Foxy Boy¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: M Dods| OR: 58| D

7/1

Won a handicap at Carlisle last year from a 2lb higher mark, so sound claims at the weights. Needs to step up to the plate after a couple of poor recent efforts though.

Form: 1430-05

(8)

Little Kingdom³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 57| D

16/1

Has won over 5f and sound claims on the best of her form. But is proving to be inconsistent and not one to rely upon too heavily despite being open to improvement at the trip.

Form: 9-41027

(14)

Jorvik Prince^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gemma Tutty⁽⁵⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 57| D

20/1

Good effort to be placed over C&D on his penultimate start but was well below that form in headgear last time. Possible that put him off his game but does have a bit to prove and is another where trust issues for win only purposes are not too far from the surface.

Form: 16-4439

(4)

Decadent Times¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Barry McHugh| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 55

8/1

Still a maiden after 11 previous start - the last handful of which have been moderate efforts since joining his new yard. Best left to his own devices.

Form: 287-807

(12)

Newgate Sioux²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 55| D

66/1

Won a claimer at Beverley at odds of 66/1 last September - was rated just 39 for handicaps at the time. Shown nothing like that since and easy to oppose on these terms.

Form: 981-867

(3)

King Of Castilla¹⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 54| D

66/1

Form took a dive after winning a Novice stakes for Gaye Kelleway last May; gelded since and now with a new yard. But lacks scope and is one for the brave only just now.

Form: 529679-

(6)

Noble Sword^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 54

33/1

Not much to show in three starts in maidens; best forgiven his handicap debut where he clipped heals and fell. But he was well held at the time. Current rating looks fair but he needs to prove his memory is unscathed from last time out; and the fitting of blinkers is also a concern. Too many negatives and is best watched.

Form: 676F

(7)

Ebitda⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: P J McDonald| T: S Dixon| OR: 51| CD

7/1

Held by Dapper Man at Wetherby on Monday but very possible she will be well suited by the drop back to 5f. Has won over C&D and is holding her form, so well worth a check in the betting at least.

Form: 576164

(2)

Joysunny²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 49

14/1

Highly respected yard but not fared well with the draw; and form in handicaps has been moderate to date. Still posted a fair effort to finish third on her latest start so not out of the reckoning. Very interesting for a place if supported accordingly.

Form: 5-65263

Forecasts

Dapper Man (15/8), Foxy Boy (7/1), Ebitda (7/1), Mr Strutter (8/1), Decadent Times (8/1), Joysunny (14/1), Hamidans Girl (16/1), Bithynia (16/1), Little Kingdom (16/1), Jorvik Prince (20/1), Tranquil Daze (20/1), Bay Station (33/1), Noble Sword (33/1), Newgate Sioux (66/1), King Of Castilla (66/1)

Heavy on numbers but this lacks strength-in-depth. Which may help DAPPER MAN cope with his 6lb penalty for winning at Wetherby earlier in the week. Ebitda wasn't too far behind on that occasion and support in her bid to reverse the form would be noteworthy. Whereas Joysunny represents a yard that can plot one up for a race of this nature and is worth noting in the betting. Others to consider include: Mr Strutter, who is capable of making this a good test but has been done no favours by the draw, while Bithynia posted a decent effort last time and would be interesting if she she attracts support from the betting ring.
