Deep Intrigue⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 91| D

11/2

Led and then rallied once headed in game fashion to score at Newmarket last time out, and handicapper sensible with a 3lb rise; likely to adopt similar front running tactics today and no reason not to go well once more.

Form: 762-741

(3)

Blackheath²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 87| D

11/4

Came back off a break to run second at Haydock (6f) earlier in the month, but has often gone well fresh, so no good thing to improve on that; step back up to 7f a help, however, and so is hard to rule out.

Form: 70985-2

Pennywhistle^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 86| D

12/1

Two years since she won a race now, and though hard to fault her consistency, she simply finds it hard to win; yard struggling for winners too and although conditions probably fine, others make more appeal.

Form: 2323-45

Blonde Warrior²⁸⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: D O'Meara| OR: 85| C| D

5/1

Well handicapped on the best of his form for Hugo Palmer but it's been a struggle for a year or so now; however, has joined a new yard who are going well, so there's hope that he can turn things around here; watch market is the advice.

Form: 2/07367-

Burford Brown³⁶⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 83| D

10/1

Knows how to win when the opportunity arises, and is adaptable as far as trip goes (happt at 5f-7f); first start for new yard today and they landed a nice touch with one last week, so any money for him needs noting.

Form: 41/5143-

(4)

Lady Of Aran¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 82| D

6/1

Winner from 8lb lower at Pontefract last September (6f) but handicapper has been in charge since then; her consistency means she gets little respite either (placed four times last five runs) and it may be she has to settle for places again.

Form: 032-293

Zap⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: P Cosgrave| T: R A Fahey| OR: 80| BF| D

7/2

Have to go back to 2018 to find last win but in fairness, he's taken in some big handicaps since then, often running well; starting to look well handicapped now and has run better last two starts, so every chance of taking a hand in the finish.

Form: 0005-54

Forecasts

Blackheath (11/4), Zap (7/2), Blonde Warrior (5/1), Deep Intrigue (11/2), Lady Of Aran (6/1), Comin' Through (7/1), Burford Brown (10/1), Pennywhistle (12/1)

Hard to rule many, if any, of these out. With a decent pace looking likely via both Deep Intrigue and possibly Blonde Warrior, it might be worth chancing the well handicapped ZAP to nick this late. He might find this a bit easier than a few of the tasks he normally tackles and is simply too well handicapped to ignore at present. Money for either the aforementioned Blonde Warrior or Burford Brown would need noting, and the step back up to 7f could see an improved effort from Blackheath. Lady Of Aran is consistent and can't be discounted either.
