Itlaaq^e/c1,t¹²

Age: 12| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| D

12/1

Gets a first outing on Fibresand (sire has a poor record on the surface) having shown up well at Newcastle last time out coming from further back that the pair that beat him. He's not won since July 2016 but on the upside he is 12lb lower than that last winning mark.

Daily Trader¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Katherine Begley⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| C| D

11/2

One of the few in this field to have run on this surface (214 record on Fibresand) although the win did come over a mile and he ran poorly when last seen here. Has won since that run though at Wolverhampton over this trip off 2lb lower and must be given a chance given his experience on Fibresand.

Senatus^h¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 63

7/4

Still a maiden but has run with credit of late and tried to make all at Newcastle last time (failed to settle that well) over 2m. Needs to settle better to see his races out (very free in his previous race) and tries this surface for the first time now.

Lean On Pete³³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 63| C| D

5/1

Should know his way around here (2-15 overall) but had only a 2nd to show from his one effort over C&D. Tends to run well here though and won his last start over 1m3f here looking very straightforward and has won over 1m4f on turf; leading chance off this mark.

Form:

Di's Gift^h⁵¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 60

14/1

Has shown some fair form in the past but his last win came in August 2015 although he's not raced that much since then. Was well backed when last seen for his previous yard in August 2016 (showed little) and now makes his stable/Fibresand debut after a long break.

Form:

(7)

Something Brewing^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: I Jardine| OR: 63

11/2

Showed something on his last run in an amateur rider's handicap at Newcastle over this trip and could have finished a little closer with the run of the race. Has shown some better form in the past off higher marks and has a chance if he takes to this surface.

Canford Thompson⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 55

7/1

Now onto his 4th trainer (makes debut for this yard here) and shaped quite well in his two starts on the AW for his last yard (neither race developed the way that suited him). Now drops to a career low mark although his one previous run here didn't inspire.

Form:

(6)

Danzella²²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 45

66/1

Still a maiden who makes her debut on Fibresand here having looked fairly limited in the majority of her starts. She certainly went backwards from her reappearance run when last seen and has another long break to overcome now.

Form:

(1)

Can Can Dream^b1³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 45

100/1

Made her comeback from a long break over a mile her last time out and ran no sort of race at all. Now stepped up 4f to the longest trip that she has tried she can only be watched here.

Forecasts

Senatus (7/4), Lean On Pete (5/1), Daily Trader (11/2), Something Brewing (11/2), Canford Thompson (7/1), Itlaaq (12/1), Velvet Voice (12/1), Di's Gift (14/1), Danzella (66/1), Can Can Dream (100/1)

There isn’t that much Fibresand form to go on here and whilst the reliable Lean On Pete should run a decent race here and has a leading chance he has been nudged up again in the handicap after his last win and might prove vulnerable. Senatus is a unknown quantity on this surface and will need to settle better to get involved although he would be dangerous with an easy lead. A chance is taken with SOMETHING BREWING he’s shown better form off higher marks in the past and his sire (Clodavil) has a 14% strike-rate here. Canford Thompson didn’t impress on his previous run here but he’s with a yard that a do well here and his recent races haven’t been run to suit while Daily Trader can be given a chance returned to the Fibresand although the last effort here was laboured.
