Pacino⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

7/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. 13/2, found run of good form coming to a halt when eighth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back but certainly can.

Form: 0-82628

Dreamseller^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

(8)

Taramanda⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 62

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Failed to back up dubious previous effort when twelfth of 13 on handicap debut at Beverley (9.9f, good, 20/1) 5 days ago. Must improve.

Form: 4740

(10)

Mi Capricho¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58| C

5/1

Course winner. 20/1, ran well after 9 months off when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. One to consider from last winning mark.

Form: 91100-3

(5)

International Lion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 60| D

50/1

Unreliable type. 18/1, made little impression when twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Others more persuasive.

Form: 4-77200

(4)

Exchequer (FR)^b,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 49

10/1

7/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good) 15 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can give another good account from 2 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 06-0692

(3)

Let Right Be Done^b,h⁷⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| C

125/1

Course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2017. Merely underlined inconsistency when ninth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 59-7639

Forecasts

Dreamseller (3/1), It Had To Be You (10/3), Pacino (7/2), Mi Capricho (5/1), Mountain Rescue (15/2), Exchequer (FR) (10/1), Shine On Brendan (22/1), Taramanda (33/1), International Lion (50/1), Let Right Be Done (125/1)

Richard Fahey's PACINO hasn't tasted victory for a while now, but he's been running well in defeat of late and he's taken to get back in the winner's enclosure from a career-low mark. It Had To Be You has changed stables since he was last seen 11 months ago and he's open to improvement making his handicap debut, while Dreamseller and Mi Capricho aren't ruled out, either.
