Billy Roberts^b1¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 67| C| D

18/1

Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago, folding. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 30-4880

(16)

Al Ozzdi¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 65| D

22/1

Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago, left with lot to do. Just 1-16 on turf, but went close off this mark on latest start in 0-65 company. Not discounted.

Kingson⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| D

33/1

Tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 8 days ago. Now 3 lb below the mark off which he gained sole career win at Hamilton last September, but plenty to prove at present.

Form: 18-0000

Athmad⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 64

12/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. 16/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 57 days ago. Yard also saddles Abushamah.

Form: 0-06547

Hammer Gun^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: D Shaw| OR: 64| D

40/1

20/1, last of 20 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good) 13 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form, but little in the way of signs of a revival of late.

Form: 20-0090

(14)

Ideal Candy^p1¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 63| C| D

11/1

Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2018. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking him back to form.

Form: 60-2360

(17)

Zeshov^p¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 58| C| D

28/1

Course winner. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Musselburgh (8f, good) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Each-way chance off a feasible mark, albeit will need some luck from stall 17.

Form: 158054

(15)

Placebo Effect^p,t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 57| D

16/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 19 days ago. Has edged down to an attractive mark and couldn't rule out.

Form: 55-6556

(3)

Stone Mason^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| BF

7/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 2½ lengths second of 15 to William Alexander in minor event at this C&D (good, 11/8) 6 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. High on the shortlist.

Form: 7-66852

(13)

Casilli³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58

14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent third of 13 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 30 days ago. Improvement needed, but that's not impossible given that this will be just her fifth career start.

Form: 7573

(2)

Abushamah⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 20/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, soft) 52 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 70-4048

(5)

Foad¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: M Walford| OR: 56

14/1

Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy, 9/2) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to raise his game. Yard fields a stronger candidate in Kodimoor.

Form: 33-7736

(7)

Violette Szabo^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 55

25/1

Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 50/1) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Still, she may have to settle for another minor role here.

Form: 088363

(6)

William Alexander^t⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: J L Eyre| OR: 50| CD

13/8

8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 15-runner C&D minor event (good) 6 days ago by 2½ lengths from Stone Mason, suited by way race developed. Another bold show likely.

Form: 70-5671

(4)

Kodimoor^v⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 46| C

14/1

Course winner. 40/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 4 days ago. That represented a step firmly back in the right direction, but needs to prove that he stays this trip.

Form: 604062

(1)

Ivors Involvement^p⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 45| C| D

80/1

Course winner. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm, 16/1) 49 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, there are several ahead of him on the shortlist.

Forecasts

William Alexander (13/8), Stone Mason (7/2), Ideal Candy (11/1), Athmad (12/1), Casilli (14/1), Kodimoor (14/1), Foad (14/1), Placebo Effect (16/1), Billy Roberts (18/1), Al Ozzdi (22/1), Violette Szabo (25/1), Zeshov (28/1), Kingson (33/1), Abushamah (33/1), Hammer Gun (40/1), Kentucky Hardboot (40/1), Ivors Involvement (80/1)

WILLIAM ALEXANDER and Stone Mason pulled well clear of the rest when first and second respectively over C&D last week, and they are expected to come to the fore once again. It's fair to say that the race panned out in William Alexander's favour, but he actually meets the runner-up on better terms this time and is taken to confirm the placings. Al Ozzdi and Placebo Effect are each-way contenders.
