Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Chepstow (10f, good). Off over 2 years ahead of this debut for new yard, a stable also represented by Bavardages.

7/2

Won 8-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 5/1) 16 days ago, responding well. Nudged up just 2 lb and likely to be on the premises once again.

Form: 29-4651

Bavardages^v³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61

13/8

Two wins from 3 runs this year. 8/1, won 10-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good) 35 days ago, slowly away. Step back up in trip promises to suit and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

Form: 465-611

Music Seeker^t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 61| D

11/1

Twenty-one runs since last win in 2019. Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (10f, soft) 19 days ago. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 088-777

Bit Of A Quirke^v³¹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: D C Costello| T: M Walford| OR: 58| D

6/1

11/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good) 31 days ago, sticking to task. 1 lb rise fair and should make his presence felt once again.

Form: 7308-42

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: H Bethell| OR: 58

10/1

5/2, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 168 days ahead of this debut for new yard and while his current turf mark is attractive, one or two of these look stronger.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 51

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 40 days ago. Back up in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Others preferred.

City Wanderer^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 8-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 48

25/1

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2019. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago. Visor back on. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 6-02365

Gloryella^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Faye McManoman⁽³⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in handicap (40/1) at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces refitted. Readily passed over.

Forecasts

Bavardages (13/8), Mahanakhon Power (7/2), Bit Of A Quirke (6/1), Berry Edge (13/2), Zoom Zoom Babe (8/1), Bearwith (10/1), Music Seeker (11/1), Susie Javea (11/1), Unplugged (12/1), Dandy's Angel (12/1), City Wanderer (25/1), Gloryella (50/1)

The return to this trip will, if anything, be a good thing where BAVARDAGES is concerned and a 2 lb rise for his latest Beverley success is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. Recent Musselburgh winner Mahanakhon Power should have a part to play and Dandy's Angel is not discounted, but the selection may have most to fear from Bit of A Quirke, who put in a good shift when hitting the crossbar at Ripon last time.
