Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| C

15/2

Largely thrived on a busy 2021, battling well to narrowly gain fourth success at Ripon (1m) in August. Down the field first 2 starts this spring but hinted firmly at a revival when tenth of 20 over shorter here last time, finishing with running left. One to keep an eye on.

Form: 180-700

16/1

Landed a gamble at Pontefract in September and returned with good placed efforts at up to 1¼m at Newmarket/Chester. Below best at Windsor subsequently and drop back to 1m may well suit now.

Form: 502-339

Siam Fox⁵⁸

18/1

6¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Coase on return in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) in April, dropping away from 2f out. Did step up plenty from starts 1 to 2 last year so no surprise if he left that effort in his wake eased in class.

Electrical Storm⁵⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Louis Steward| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 83

9/2

Low-mileage 5-y-o who shaped well when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen in December 2020. Missed whole of last year but he remains unexposed at around 1m and unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return. Positive market vibes would look significant.

Pisanello¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 81

10/3

Struck fast and late on return over extended mile at Beverley in April. and matched that when third in Thirsk Hunt Cup. Not seen to best effect when fourth at Ripon (9.7f) 16 days ago and well-run race back at this trip promises to suit from reduced mark.

Form: 50-1344

Harswell Duke²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 81| D

4/1

Not long with this yard and he ran well when third behind Eilean Dubh at Hamilton (8.3f) on his penultimate start. Similar form when sixth behind that rival here (7.8f) subsequently and he's not dismissed lightly.

Form: 23-5436

La Rav¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78

40/1

Resumed winning ways from 1 lb lower mark at Beverley (7.4f) in August prior to a couple of good in-the-frame efforts thereafter on turf. However, failed to come on for his return over 7f when well held last of 7 at Newcastle (1m) 18 days ago.

Solar Joe³⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 72

25/1

Improved on pair of exploits as a 3-y-o when second in a Thirsk novice (1m) 13 months ago, albeit looking flattered by his proximity to the winner. Never figured on handicap debut at Beverley (8.5f) last June and probably best watched back from another absence.

Form: 47/29-

Visibility¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Jack Duern⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

33/1

Quickened up well to resume winning ways at Southwell (1m) in January. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat have followed, respectable fifth at Leicester (7f) in May. However, his mark looks about right.

Al Qaasim^t,v1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| D

10/1

Thriving on a busy campaign, adding fourth success of the year to his tally at Musselburgh (9f) 7 days ago, leading again on the line. 2 lb higher in a stronger race now with visor replacing cheekpieces.

Light Up Our Stars^h²³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: A W Carroll| OR: 70| D

15/2

Built up a very solid record on AW for this yard, consistent since turn of year prior to rattling off hat-trick at Chelmsford (1m) last month. Effective on turf and, from unchanged mark, he has to be worth a look.

Poet's Dawn⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

22/1

Winless since landing back-to-back Beverley handicaps (8.5f) initially last spring. However, fared better than previously this term when fourth of 7 over 9f at Hamilton 9 days ago but his York record isn't overly inspiring.

Form: 45-9974

Night Ranger¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: B Ellison| OR: 67

66/1

Much-improved when going down narrowly in a Newcastle novice (1m) in December 2020. Unsurprisingly shaped as if needing first start since at that venue 18 days ago and likely to hold more chance now entering handicaps.

Forecasts

Pisanello (10/3), Harswell Duke (4/1), Electrical Storm (9/2), Light Up Our Stars (15/2), Garden Oasis (15/2), Al Qaasim (10/1), Enigmatic (16/1), Equion (16/1), Siam Fox (18/1), Poet's Dawn (22/1), Solar Joe (25/1), Visibility (33/1), La Rav (40/1), Night Ranger (66/1)

A winner on return at Beverley, PISANELLO again ran well when third in the Thirsk Hunt Cup from a 2 lb higher mark in April. Best not judged too harshly on his exploits at around 1¼m since, he will be suited by a well-run race back at this trip and gets the nod to resume winning ways. Electrical Storm is an interesting runner on belated return given his low-mileage profile, whilst prolific AW scorer Light Up Our Stars and Garden Oasis are also considered.
