Pickett's Charge^p1,h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Makin| T: R C Guest| OR: 63| D

11/1

Winner of a similar grade race from 1lb higher in January but remains some way below that level based on recent starts. Another change of headgear is employed and there are doubts he is effective with give in the ground.

Form: 808065

(7)

Hitchcock^b⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 65

11/2

First time blinkers, soft ground and a career low mark contributed to a 6L success at Musselburgh (7f). The runner-up has scored since and an obvious player if staying this trip. Stable not as hot as they were then and that is a bigger concern.

Form: 888701

(8)

Teomaria¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 63

12/1

Her maiden form should make her competitive from this mark although her two recent runs raise doubts that is the case. Less highly tried here and market support would be significant.

Form: 55308

(4)

St James's Park^p1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson⁽⁵⁾| T: L McJannet| OR: 59

33/1

Makes limited appeal judged on five modest AW efforts. Better required on first turf outing and with the addition of cheekpieces.

Form: 55798

(11)

Green Howard^p⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 58| BF| D

8/1

On a losing run of 41 and his latest effort was a backward step. Travels well but is either unable or unwilling to get his head in front.

Form: 325226

(12)

Tread Lightly¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

20/1

Has been poor in recent runs over hurdles and on the level. Claims on mid-season form if the drop in distance has a positive effect.

Form: 273609

(13)

Ingleby Angel²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 57| BF| D

11/4

Has gone 24 races without a win but has been well supported on last two starts. Never competitive last time on a day when it was difficult to come from off the pace, but has more obvious claims on his penultimate run.

Form: 470430

(6)

Harlequin Rock^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: M Quinn| OR: 55| CD

15/2

Cheekpieces, a drop in the weights and a six week break helped him to his first success in two years. Scored with something in hand and a 3lb rise seems more than fair for this C&D winner.

Form: 394871

(9)

Big Bad Lol⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: E Walker| OR: 56

4/1

Not knocked about in three maidens and interesting to see how the market reacts to an undemanding mark on his handicap debut. Stable in form and rider has a good record for them.

Form: 607

(2)

Dynamic Girl^t1²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: B G Powell| OR: 52

16/1

Good run on penultimate start but for this year has been mediocre otherwise. Still to prove her effectiveness at this trip.

Form: 078037

(1)

Designamento¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 45

100/1

Has only once finished within 20L of the winner and even then he was only eighth of twelve.

Form: 800-080

Forecasts

Ingleby Angel (11/4), Big Bad Lol (4/1), Hitchcock (11/2), Harlequin Rock (15/2), Green Howard (8/1), Mr Cool Cash (10/1), Pickett's Charge (11/1), Teomaria (12/1), Dynamic Girl (16/1), Tread Lightly (20/1), St James's Park (33/1), Designamento (100/1), Bilko's Back (100/1)

Big Bad Lol is hard to recommend on form but he is not highly tried on his handicap debut and market support would make him very interesting. HARLEQUIN ROCK had more in the tank than his Yarmouth winning margin suggested and he looks ready to give a good account again. Hitchcock won well last time but, over this trip and with his yard going off the boil, Teomaria and Ingleby Angel look bigger threats.
