Final⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90| D

4/1

Had a very good year last year and has shaped already this term like there will be more to come. Missed the break at Ayr last time and always up against it. Good claimer takes off a valuable 5lbs and no surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Form: 2578-25

(9)

Mukhayyam^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

11/2

Couldn't follow up in the race he won twelve months ago when setting a strong pace over C&D last time. Capable off this sort of mark if ridden with a little more restraint than last time.

Form: 38-0625

Remember The Days²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 81| BF

11/1

Won off 4lb lower mark at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) two starts back. Couldn't follow-up off this mark at Ripon next time but shapes like this step up in trip will suit and will be a leading contender once more.

Form: 150-516

Framley Garth¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 79| CD

3/1

Shown a good jolt of improvement since encountering better ground. Won his last two and despite a further 7lb rise in the weights he should go well once again and has sound claims of the hat-trick.

Form: 415411

Andok^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

17/2

Dropped right down the weights before going very close at Chester 1m2½f, good) two weeks ago. Steps up in trip and yard do well here so lively shout off just 1lb higher.

Form: 22-5882

Abel Tasman¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Adam J McNamara| T: E Walker| OR: 75

11/2

Returned to form with a win and a second at Haydock (both 1m2f) the last twice. Nudged up another 2lb but is thriving now and should be in the mix once again.

Form: 2-02912

(7)

Liquid Gold¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

7/1

Well beaten by Framley Garth over C&D last time. Has work to do with that rival despite the large pull in the weights. Yet to convince that she really wants this far.

Form: 47-8024

(5)

Zihaam^p⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 63| D

11/2

Beaten 3½L by Framley Garth over C&D two starts back but won well at Beverley next time. Races from out of the weights here but continues to improve for yard going well and not discounted.

Form: 443131

Forecasts

Framley Garth (3/1), Final (4/1), Mukhayyam (11/2), Abel Tasman (11/2), Zihaam (11/2), Liquid Gold (7/1), Andok (17/2), Remember The Days (11/1), Stonific (12/1), Lycidas (14/1)

FRAMLEY GARTH is thriving at present as is taken to complete the hat-trick in the finale having won a shade cosily over C&D last time. Zihaam will be a danger once more at the bottom of the weights for his in-form team and is respected. Mukhayaam is better than he showed last time when setting off too quick and will be a big danger if getting a soft lead.
