Twilight Secret¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 68| D

17/2

Ninth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D (good) 18 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form, but recent efforts hardly point to an imminent revival.

Form: 360809

Mutanaaseq^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65| D

11/4

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, again ran below form when fifth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark and should make more of a splash back in Class 5 company.

Form: 745405

Dandy Spirit^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 62

7/1

Fairly useful for Kieran Patrick Cotter but is yet to fire since joining this yard. Down another 4 lb but hard to fancy on recent evidence.

Form: 324-990

(3)

Buniann²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P Hanagan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 62

3/1

All 5 career wins at Newcastle. 8/1, ran better than for a while when second of 11 in handicap there (5f) 3 weeks ago, nearest finish. Yard also runs Mr Orange.

Form: 979662

Mr Orange^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 50| CD

15/8

7-time C&D winner. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good) 18 days ago. Mark continues to slide and he won't get many better opportunities than this nowadays. Yard also saddles Buniann.

Form: 6-94073

Forecasts

Mr Orange (15/8), Mutanaaseq (11/4), Buniann (3/1), Dandy Spirit (7/1), Twilight Secret (17/2)

MR ORANGE fared better than of late in a change of headgear when third over C&D last month, and racing in a much smaller field than he's used to competing in, Paul Midgley's charge won't get many better opportunities to add to his seven C&D wins from a career-low mark. Stablemate Buniann seems to save his best efforts for Newcastle (all 5 wins there) so Mutanaaseq shades the vote for second over him today.
