Zihaam^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 63| CD

11/4

Multiple winner from 1m1f-1m4f, two of those coming here. Back on a very competitive mark once again, and could benefit from a recent run. Good ground or faster is ideal, so appears to have plenty going for him.

Form: 57447-8

Bollihope²⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Aiden Smithies⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| D

33/1

Multiple winner at up to 1m3½f, and went close a couple of times from higher marks on turf last season. Has changed hands since his latest run last October. Has won when fresh, so check the market for any confidence.

Dutch Coed²⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 63| CD

20/1

Dual C&D winner (on good/good to soft), including when just 1lb lower last August. Should get sufficient pace here to be produced late on, as is usually the case, and is very much respected.

Contrast²⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| D

9/1

Multiple winner from 7f-1m2f. Has won from a higher mark than this on the all weather, but he is a bit better on that than turf. Not seen since November and has yet to perform his best when fresh.

Form: 703117-

Ideal Candy²⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 63| CD

7/2

Goes well here, with several near misses plus a C&D win to his name in 2018. On a competitive mark if ready for this reappearance, so check the market for clues.

Traveller^t,v⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61

9/1

Triple AW winner at up to 1m1½f, the most recent when 1lb lower in February. Reappeared with a respectable effort in a Redcar handicap (7f) recently. The return to this trip looks positive, so he is not written off.

Form: 9-19173

Our Charlie Brown¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: A Keatley| OR: 60

2/1

Has won six races over 7f, all at Catterick or Musselburgh. Steps up beyond 1m for the first time, but that may open the door to eeking out a bit more, as there is plenty of stamina in his pedigree. Interesting.

Form: 55-6483

Osmosis²²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: J Ward| OR: 59

20/1

15-race maiden. Can't totally write her off, given that she went close from a 2lb higher mark here over 1m½f last year. Gets this trip, but needs to find something extra to break her duck.

Form: 834297-

Gloryella^b²²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: J P Sullivan| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45WS

200/1

Very moderate eight-race maiden who has been well held in all her eight starts, the most recent being her stable debut at Southwell last November. Has had wind surgery since, but is impossible to make a serious case for.

Forecasts

Our Charlie Brown (2/1), Zihaam (11/4), Ideal Candy (7/2), Frankster (8/1), Contrast (9/1), Traveller (9/1), Flood Defence (12/1), Dutch Coed (20/1), Osmosis (20/1), Bollihope (33/1), Gloryella (200/1)

Topweight Zihaam should be spot on for this after a recent outing, and he should go very close, but arguably the most interesting runner here is OUR CHARLIE BROWN. Adrian Keatley's gelding has done well over 7f, but his dam scored over middle distances and there may be more to come from him now stepping up in trip. Ideal Candy can't be ruled out, nor can Flood Defence or Dutch Coed.
