Country'n'western²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: George Eddery⁽⁵⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 62| CD

8/1

Successful in this event back in 2018 but his recent form is not so encouraging, only twelfth of 16 in handicap here 21 days ago. Needs to show more if he's to collect again.

Form: 724260

(11)

Contrast¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss Rosie Howarth⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61| D

5/1

Yet to win this term but knocking on the door, not enjoying best of passages when second of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Redcar (10f, heavy) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly off unchanged mark.

Form: 7-52292

Grandscape²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Sophie Smith⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 58| D

9/1

40/1, badly in need of run after 8 months off/first run since leaving Ed Dunlop when fading ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 22 days ago. Enters calculations for new yard.

Form: 21-4439

(6)

Thermal²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Dr Misha Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57| D

4/1

7/2, built on previous promise when scoring in 10f handicap at Lingfield (AW) 22 days ago. Up 3 lb but placed rivals there have both gone in since so she rates major player.

Form: 0-79321

(3)

Born To Please^p²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss H C Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 53| CD

13/2

Landed this contest 12 months ago but arrives on back of modest runs on level and over hurdles this time around. Others appeal more.

Form: 551-836

(9)

Arabescato^v⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Martin Dunne| T: N P Littmoden| OR: 56| D

33/1

Opened his account at Lingfield in January and shaped as if in need of run after 9 months off when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 9 days ago. Not dismissed.

Form: 86-4170

(8)

Exotic Escape⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-8| J: B Roberts⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56

11/2

Modest maiden who arrives well below par, only tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 646280

(12)

N Over J³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M Appleby| OR: 48

15/2

Unreliable sort who arrives on back of modest ninth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 32 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 643299

(7)

Wensley¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Patrick Millman| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 46

11/1

It's now twenty four runs since he gained his sole win in 2017. Recent efforts are not overly encouraging too so others lot more persuasive.

Form: 887386

(2)

Mr Sundowner^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: D Thompson| OR: 45| D

16/1

25/1, not disgraced after 12 months off on first run since leaving Michael Herrington when fourth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Catterick (15.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Worth considering back in trip now.

Form: 60080-4

(10)

Saw The Sea⁶⁰

66/1

Poor maiden for David Evans. Has his fist run for new yard now after wind op with plenty to prove.

Form: 6/00-065

(5)

She's On The Edge⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Kerryanne Alexander⁽⁷⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 47

20/1

Yet to finish higher than seventh in six starts, modest tenth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 41 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 8-77800

Forecasts

Thermal (4/1), Contrast (5/1), Exotic Escape (11/2), Born To Please (13/2), N Over J (15/2), Country'n'western (8/1), Grandscape (9/1), Wensley (11/1), Mr Sundowner (16/1), She's On The Edge (20/1), Arabescato (33/1), Saw The Sea (66/1)

THERMAL is really going the right way now for her new yard and is strongly fancied to defy a 3 lb rise for her recent Lingfield win with that form proving very strong for the grade. Grandscape is expected to step up on his recent Southwell ninth after an absence so is feared most for his new handler, although in-form Contrast is another well worth considering.
