Firby¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Miss Rachel Taylor⁽⁷⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 67

10/1

Catterick 1m4f winner is likely to have needed stable debut. However, he does seem to have more than his fair share of weight and his rider is relatively inexperienced.

Form: 37651-8

Testa Rossa³⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss C Walton| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63| CD

12/1

Triple C&D winner who has been racing over shorter trips lately. Now 6lb below his last winning mark but latest efforts have been below par.

Form: 593560

(10)

Jackhammer^b,t¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Emma Sayer| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 58| C

6/4

Thriving having won three of his last four on ground ranging from good-to-firm to heavy. A 5lb penalty still leaves him a couple of pounds ahead of his revised official rating and he has to go on the shortlist here.

Form: 4-31311

Bollin Ted²³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Mr William Easterby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| D

11/2

Beverley specialist who finished second on his only previous visit here. Down to his last winning mark and appeared to be coming to hand last time. Handles any ground and has to be considered.

Form: 33190-3

(12)

King Of Naples^h¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61

8/1

Recent form has shown him to be rather inconsistent but he has a 2-7 record in this grade and is back to his last winning mark.

Form: 330150

(2)

Home Before Dusk¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr E Cagney⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60

7/1

12-race maiden who has underachieved on last two starts despite some leniency from the handicapper.. Has an inexperienced rider on board and others have stronger claims.

Form: 466436

(13)

Remmy D^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr J Harding| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| D

18/1

Landed a Redcar claimer last November before joining her new yard. Promised better early in the year but last five runs have been very poor. Capable on a good day and plenty of rain would help.

Form: 300760

Remember Rocky^b²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Abbie McCain| T: Mrs L B Normile| OR: 58| C

25/1

Five of his six wins have come under female riders and he has also won twice here over shorter. Below his last winning mark with a capable rider on board and he will be fitter for his first two runs after a break.

Form: 2392-74

(5)

Haymarket^t²⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: Mrs C Bartley| T: R M Smith| OR: 50| CD

14/1

Won this in 2017 and beaten in a photo last year under today's booked rider. Not in the best of form but nicely weighted and handles any ground.

Form: 823-875

(6)

Indie Groove²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 48

100/1

Stable on a bit of a roll at present but impossible to enthuse over his chances having been tailed off on his last four starts.

Form: 3540P-0

(3)

Let Right Be Done^p,h³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| C| D

40/1

Without a win since October 2017 and plenty to find with Jackhammer on her latest run. Stable have had a couple of winners lately but he still does not look good enough.

Form: 466-800

(7)

Judith Gardenier^p,t²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Amie Waugh| T: R M Smith| OR: 45

66/1

Hamilton winner in 2016 but makes little appeal having been beaten by 80L or more in two of her last three outings.

Form: 81/8-709

Forecasts

Jackhammer (6/4), Bollin Ted (11/2), Home Before Dusk (7/1), King Of Naples (8/1), Firby (10/1), Testa Rossa (12/1), Haymarket (14/1), Remmy D (18/1), Remember Rocky (25/1), Rioja Day (25/1), Let Right Be Done (40/1), Judith Gardenier (66/1), Indie Groove (100/1)

Haymarket has run well in the last two runnings of this but he arrived in better shape than will be the case here. Jackhammer is at the top of his game and is still on the right side of the handicapper despite his penalty, but this looks a shade tougher test. Remember Rocky goes well here, has an experienced pilot on board and is weighted to give a good account. BOLLIN TED has done most of his winning at Beverley but he has gone well here in the past and shaped well in better company on his reappearance. The Easterby runner has slipped to his last winning mark and the ground will not be an issue.
