5/2

Winner at Windsor in April and only 2lb higher here, will appreciate this return to better ground as well after his close fourth back there last time. Yard have an excellent 25% strike rate here and he looks one of the main players.

9/2

Not seen since last December but has run well fresh before, so that's not an issue. Have to go back to 2017 to find last win but this is easier than many of the tasks he faced last year, so could go well for in-form yard.

Grand Inquisitor^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: B A Curtis| T: Ian Williams| OR: 86| CD

10/3

Two wins from last two starts and an easy winner over C&D last time, albeit in a claimer. This is clearly tougher but conditions no problem, and he must be taken seriously once more.

Form: 258-511

Ingleby Hollow^t¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| D

3/1

Cosy winner at Thirsk last month and then ran even better in defeat back there on latest start. Stays trip well and there seems no good reason why he won't run his race again. Another to consider in a wide open contest.

Framley Garth¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 72| D

6/1

Dropping back to a good-looking mark but in no great form at present and a bit disappointing that he couldn't do better at York last time, a track he likes. Others preferred in a tough little race.

Forecasts

New Show (5/2), Ingleby Hollow (3/1), Grand Inquisitor (10/3), Final (9/2), Framley Garth (6/1), Question Of Faith (7/1), Card High (16/1)

A tricky little event to solve. GRAND INQUISITOR gets the vote as he might get his own way in front and although this is tougher than the claimer he won last time, his previous win at Chelmsford shows he has the class to call upon, and he might be able to make all for a yard that do well here. Final would be a big threat if bringing his A-game and the yard struck form at the weekend. Both New Show and Ingleby Hollow make some appeal for differing reasons and if they do go too quick up front, Question Of Faith could get involved late too.
