Mountain Peak¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Edward Greatrex| T: E Walker| OR: 96| BF| D

7/2

Maintained 100% Haydock record last summer. All the better for return when close fourth of 5 to Jawwaal in handicap at this C&D (firm, 2/1) 19 days ago, not seen to very best effect. Big player.

Form: 2415-54

(2)

Jawwaal¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: M Dods| OR: 94| CD

7/2

Had been shaping well prior to resuming winning ways in 5-runner handicap at this C&D (firm) 19 days ago, just holding on from a subsequent winner. Expected to be bang there again.

Form: 00-7751

Nomadic Empire⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 98| D

9/2

Thirsk novice winner and placed twice in listed company over 5f at 2 yrs. Took another step forward when a length second at York 7 weeks ago so warrants respect.

Form: 3426-42

(5)

Muker^b1⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 95| D

11/2

Two wins last year and also placed at listed/Group 3 level. Made a sound return to action when fourth (Burning Cash second) in Nottingham conditions event but not quite so good since.

Form: 312-446

(7)

Celsius^t²²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 88| CD

17/2

Good run of form came to an end in handicap at York (5f, soft) but better than result at Newcastle since, pulled too hard. Back on a fair mark now ahead of return and is a C&D winner.

Form: 283208-

(6)

Indian Sounds¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: P T Midgley| OR: 86| D

15/2

Useful form when decisive winner at Beverley in September. Matched that form when head third of 5 to Jawwaal in handicap at this C&D (firm) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt again.

Form: 215-503

(4)

Free Love¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| D

6/1

Hit the crossbar 3 times in handicaps last season, and again found just one too strong on return at Windsor (5f, good to firm). Out of depth in listed company at Ayr 10 days ago.

Form: 7229-26

Forecasts

Jawwaal (7/2), Mountain Peak (7/2), Nomadic Empire (9/2), Muker (11/2), Free Love (6/1), Indian Sounds (15/2), Celsius (17/2)

JAWWAAL won with more in hand than the bare margins suggest when beating Mountain Peak and Indian Sounds over C&D last month so is taken to confirm the placings. Improving 3-y-o Nomadic Empire may emerge as the biggest threat.
