Elector^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91

10/1

Yet to truly prove himself at this trip having had a couple of tries over this distance (looked a non-stayer each time). Useful sort who this yard can win with off this sort of mark, would be better back in trip against some stronger stayers.

Form: 1865-47

Groveman⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 88| D

7/2

Front-runner (may get a soft lead), seen to maximum effect when winning second race of the year at Thirsk (1m4f, good) off 3lb lower. Flew a little too high last time at Ripon (12.1f, good/firm), didn't lead, not given a hard time, better expected.

Form: 2-21417

Where's Jeff¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 84| D

12/1

Showed his best form this year when chasing home Dark Jedi (winner/run well since) at Hamilton (9.2f, good/soft) having won three times the year before at up to 1m4f. Found out in better company last time his Hamilton form gives him claims.

Form: 816-028

Squelch³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: Rae Guest| OR: 76| D

15/8

Comes here in search of a hat-trick having produced a career-best at Doncaster (11.9f, good/firm) last time following up an AW dead-heat for first previously. Had plenty in her favour last time but still looked progressive, up 3lb, leading chance.

Form: 6352-11

Dream With Me⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75

9/5

Lightly-raced maiden who so far hasn't really shown his potential in handicaps but it is early days for him. Creditable effort last time at Yarmouth (11.5f, good/firm), this trip may stretch but receives plenty of weight from his elders.

Form: 4234

Forecasts

Dream With Me (9/5), Squelch (15/8), Groveman (7/2), Elector (10/1), Where's Jeff (12/1)

The weight-for-age scale greatly favours the 3yo’s at this time of year especially at saying trips so that factor gives Dream With Me a sound chance of getting off the mark although this trip may just stretch his stamina at the moment. Groveman struggled in a competitive contest last time and will appreciate this return to an easier grade and the opportunity for an easy lead, that should see him in a better light. Where’s Jeff has the form to win this he to will appreciate an ease grade, Elector still has to prove his stamina. SQUELCH gets a good opportunity to win again looking the type to continue progressing despite the rise in grade, she won with something in hand last time.
