Raise The Roof⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J Tate| OR: 79

7/2

Dual winner at 3 and, while disappointing at Newcastle when last seen, has been given a break since and appeals as the type to do better as a 4yo.

Form: 11354-0

(9)

Star Shield^p¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: R Coakley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| CD

9/2

Not straightforward and failed to beat a rival at Ayr last time. Potentially well treated, though, and he's won here before.

Form: 336846

(4)

Asdaa¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: A Elliott| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| D

7/1

Well treated on the pick of his efforts and, while his form tailed off towards the end of last year, he could have been freshened up by a 6-month break, so can't be completely dismissed.

Form: 530867-

(1)

Eeetee⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76

6/1

Fair ex-French maiden who has performed respectably since arriving in Britain but looked averagely treated at best when mid-field at Hamilton last time.

Form: 22/55-27

(2)

Sucellus^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: George Rooke| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 76| CD

9/2

Unreliable type. who failed to beat a rival at Doncaster last time. Something to prove now, but he's run well on each of his three previous visits to this track (has won twice).

Form: 6125-60

(3)

Dulla Bhatti²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S H James| T: M Dods| OR: 76

11/2

Fairly useful front runner who arrives on the back of a poor effort at Carlisle. Could take some pegging back with a quick return to form.

Form: 1244-25

(7)

Equion³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: A W Carroll| OR: 76

11/1

Has already achieved a fairly useful level of form but didn't look ahead of his opening mark when ninth at Wolverhampton a month ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0-329

(5)

Ciotog^h1⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 73

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped as if in need of the run on first start for this yard at Wolverhampton (handicap) 56 days ago. Hood on for the first time now.

Form: 722-6

Non-Runners

(8)

Greek Kodiac¹¹

Weight: 8-9| Age: 6

T: M Walford J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Raise The Roof (7/2), Sucellus (9/2), Star Shield (9/2), Dulla Bhatti (11/2), Eeetee (6/1), Asdaa (7/1), Equion (11/1), Ciotog (20/1), Greek Kodiac (20/1)

DULLA BHATTI had an off day last time but he tends to give his running more often than not and he might get an uncontested lead, so he's preferred to Sucellus, who tends to save his best efforts for this track. Raise The Roof is also considered.
