Roaring Rory²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: S A Gray| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 59| D

9/1

Shaped nicely on seasonal debut and first start since wind surgery but below that at Beverley. Has run well here in the past but others preferred.

Form: 8179-36

(7)

Astrophysics¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Aspell| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 58| D

7/1

Ran well on first run since wind surgery and good opportunity if able to build on that. However just two wins from 36 starts and losing run now stretches over two years, so hard to have maximum faith in.

Form: 60-9583

(6)

Young Tiger^h¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: T P Tate| OR: 56| CD

7/2

Both career wins have come over this C&D but below his best here last start following two poor runs on turf. Others preferred at present.

Form: 282099

Another Angel⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 56

7/2

Dwelt when behind Brendan here two runs back so did well to get so close and ran to a similar level from the front on turf last time. Only had the eight starts and seems to be progressing now so should be competitive.

Form: 3/9-7063

(1)

Palmer³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: P T Midgley| OR: 56

14/1

Still a maiden after 18 starts and not showing signs of taking advantage of falling mark. Others looks more convincing with stable struggling for winners.

Form: 554776

(2)

Oriental Splendour^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 50| D

8/1

Two wins from 42 starts and now well below that winning handicap mark. Losing run now dates back well over a year and despite dropping another 2lb, he has had plenty of chances.

Form: 553545

(5)

Ideal Spirit⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 47

16/1

10-race maiden who hasn't progressed from early promise including last time following a wind operation. Needs to find extra to be involved.

Form: 4-44766

(3)

Nifty Niece⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 46

10/1

Both wins have come at Catterick, the latest of which was in selling company. Comes here off the back of a disappointing effort and well beaten in all three previous AW starts.

Form: 188148

(8)

Little Kingdom²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: R Ffrench| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 45| CD

20/1

Now 8lb lower since sole win over this C&D from 22 starts but is looking hard to win with. Place possibilities but hard to have maximum faith in.

Form: 6-32656

(9)

Thornaby Princess^p⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: D Fentiman| T: C J Teague| OR: 45| D

50/1

On a very long losing streak and overall profile of three wins from 56 starts hardly convinces. Better effort last start but easy to oppose for win purposes.

Form: 589954

(13)

Camino^h³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: P Mathers| T: Andi Brown| OR: 45| D

40/1

Won just once in 27 starts (June 2017), and in poor form for the majority of the calendar year so far. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 678866

(4)

Griffin Street^b⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45

20/1

Has run better on his last two starts but has yet to get in the money in 20 starts and is hard to get carried away with.

Form: 988955

(12)

Displaying Amber^p⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 45

28/1

Nine race maiden was beaten in first time cheekpieces (retained) in a selling handicap over this trip at Ripon. Chance that a return to this track may help but hasn't built on early promise.

Form: 347374

Another Angel (7/2), Young Tiger (7/2), Brendan (7/2), Astrophysics (7/1), Oriental Splendour (8/1), Roaring Rory (9/1), Nifty Niece (10/1), Palmer (14/1), Ideal Spirit (16/1), Little Kingdom (20/1), Griffin Street (20/1), Displaying Amber (28/1), Camino (40/1), Thornaby Princess (50/1)

ANOTHER ANGEL seemed to have lost his way but his last two starts have been much more encouraging and should be involved with a reproduction. He's closely matched with Brendan who is due to run at Ayr on Thursday but should he choose to bypass that would be the leading contender on a surface he has considerable improvement to come over. Astrophysics is respected on his last start but it can't be guaranteed he'll build on that.
