Devasboy¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Andrew Breslin| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 81| CD

11/8

Has something of an up-and-down profile but proved better than ever when scoring over C&D just over a fortnight ago, staying on to lead late and well on top at the line. 4 lb rise fair and he looks sure to go well again from a plum draw.

Form: 415381

(2)

Meng Tian³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Finley Marsh| T: S Woods| OR: 80

11/2

Made a winning return to action at Wolverhampton in March but has failed to kick on from that in 3 subsequent starts, latest when down the field at Nottingham last month. Mark eases a shade but others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 64-1455

(4)

Liamarty Dreams⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 77

9/4

Proved better than ever when winning at Haydock in May and put behind him a slightly lesser effort at Sandown when runner-up at former track 9 days ago. Every chance of going a place better here from an unchanged mark.

Form: 604172

Kitaab^t⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Sanderson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67

7/2

Glimpses of promise in 3 minor events/maiden and he could make more of an impact now moving into handicaps. Check betting.

Form: P3-53

Herbertandflorence^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Mollie Phillips⁽³⁾| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 48

40/1

Has struggled to find his feet for this yard and makes minimal appeal from well out of the weights.

Form: 756078

Forecasts

Devasboy (11/8), Liamarty Dreams (9/4), Kitaab (7/2), Liangel Hope (7/2), Meng Tian (11/2), Herbertandflorence (40/1)

A tricky contest to unravel despite the small field but LIAMARTY DREAMS has taken his form up a notch this year so Karl Burke's charge is fancied to double his tally for the season. Devasboy and Liangel Hope are closely matched on their recent effort over C&D just over a fortnight ago and they can chase the selection home in that order.
