Shallow Hal³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 92| D

7/1

Latest win at Southwell in January. Below-form eleventh of 18 in handicap at York (6f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 1-81290

(5)

Admirality²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 91| C| D

9/1

Course winner but it's now eighteen runs since last win in 2019. Only tenth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Haydock (7.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago and has something to find on form.

Form: 22227-0

(3)

Commanche Falls^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 91| CD

15/8

Returned with career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, forging clear late on. C&D winner who has more to offer. Big player despite 7 lb rise.

Form: 09116-1

(7)

Intrinsic Bond⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 88| BF| D

5/1

6/4, only fair fourth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. More is needed if he's to get back to winning ways.

Form: 1313-34

(4)

Cold Stare^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

6/1

50/1, second home in his group when 14th of 29 in handicap at Ascot (7f, soft) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and weighted to go well with underfoot conditions to suit too.

Form: 108-500

(2)

Endowed¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 85| D

10/1

5/1, caught eye when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 17 days ago, denied a clear run. Worth considering.

Form: 2465-65

(1)

Rathbone^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Megan Nicholls| T: K A Ryan| OR: 84| D

17/2

Nineteen runs since last win in 2019 but shaped encouragingly when ninth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Chester (7f, soft) 10 days ago, racing closer to the pace than ideal. Merits consideration.

Form: 4-50049

(6)

John Kirkup¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 83| C| D

14/1

Course winner but only ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 83120-9

Forecasts

Commanche Falls (15/8), Intrinsic Bond (5/1), Cold Stare (6/1), Shallow Hal (7/1), Rathbone (17/2), Admirality (9/1), Endowed (10/1), John Kirkup (14/1)

COMMANCHE FALLS really impressed on his return with his emphatic Ayr success so Michael Dods's upwardly-mobile sprinter is fancied to defy a 7 lb hike in the weights. Cold Stare is greatly feared though now he has ground conditions to suit, while Rathbone is another who can have a say off a handy mark in a fairly useful sprint.
