(3)

Stronsay^p⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 58| C

5/1

Won over 6f here last term and shown himself to be in decent heart recently, making the frame at Musselburgh and Catterick on his last 2 outings. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 50-6724

(4)

The Gloaming¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| D

10/3

Dual winner at Musselburgh last season and ran well when second at Catterick last month. Bit below form last time, carrying head awkwadly, but overall profile makes her a player.

Form: 170-725

(6)

Quanah⁴²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 53| CD

4/1

Last win came over C&D in 2020 but has generally looked out of sorts since last summer and is tough to currently have confidence in.

Form: 00540-0

Louis Treize^h,t²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: R Menzies| OR: 52| D

11/1

Quirky sort won twice on AW this year but ran no sort of race on return to turf at Redcar last time. Needs to prove he can match AW form on this surface.

Form: 714150

Shesadabber¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 52| CD

3/1

All 3 wins have come over C&D and she took a step back in right direction when third 12 days ago. Doubts about her dreadful form in late-2021 remain but she's a player if she can back return run up.

Form: 73600-3

(5)

Nacho^t¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 51| D

8/1

Won from 4 lb higher mark at Wolverhampton in October and looked back on track when third at Nottingham last month. Possibly found race coming too soon last time and isn't ruled out.

Form: 16-8735

(7)

Rockley Point^b⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Rowan Scott| T: K Scott| OR: 45| C| D

28/1

Runner-up in Wolverhampton minor event in March but he's generally shown very little otherwise recently and can be opposed again.

Form: 0-99249

Glen Lomond^v1¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

22/1

Yet to shown any form and passed over in first-time visor.

Form: 0670-06

Summer Heights⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

40/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs and is opposable once again.

Form: 00/6-467

Forecasts

Shesadabber (3/1), The Gloaming (10/3), Quanah (4/1), Stronsay (5/1), Nacho (8/1), Louis Treize (11/1), Glen Lomond (22/1), Rockley Point (28/1), Summer Heights (40/1)

STRONSAY has perhaps shown the most solid recent form in this basement level handicap, so gets the verdict. The Gloaming is also feared on recent showings, whilst Shesadabber's best form has come over C&D.
