Classy Dame⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 65| BF| D

Bit Of A Quirke^v⁶^{(ex 4)}

10/1

Six-time C&D winner who got his had back in front in a small field at Leicester last week. Not obviously well treated under a 4 lb penalty but his good course record affords him plenty of respect.

Form: 8-42751

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 60| BF| C| D

Form: 00-4119

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58| C| D

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Mr Matthew Ennis| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 52

9/2

One win from 29 Flat runs. Twenty three runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 6 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 564225

Highlight Reel¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 49| CD

9/1

Unreliable type. C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in June. Bit below form seventh of 12 in C&D handicap (good to firm, 5/1) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 855157

(6)

L'Es Fremantle³²

Age: 11| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss K Adams⁽⁷⁾| T: M C Chapman| OR: 45

200/1

Untrustworthy individual with a 0-33 record on the Flat. 150/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 5000/70-

(10)

Karratha²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Mr Cole Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 52

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered first time, first run since leaving Ken Condon when eighth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Pontefract (12f, good) 29 days ago. Headgear off this time.

Form: 000-8

Forecasts

Irv (10/3), Classy Dame (4/1), Dandy's Angel (9/2), Rocket Dancer (5/1), Sameem (7/1), Highlight Reel (9/1), Bit Of A Quirke (10/1), Gulf Of Poets (40/1), Karratha (66/1), L'Es Fremantle (200/1)

IRV has offered enough in recent starts to think there's a race in him from a mark in the mid-50s and this might be the day his losing run ends. Classy Dame will be a threat if back to the level of her penultimate Newbury second, while Bit of A Quirke's good C&D record earns him a place on the shortlist.
