Fieldsman¹⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 63| CD

16/1

C&D winner. 9/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 04-5458

(5)

Split Elevens^b¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss C Butler⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 62| D

8/1

Unreliable individual. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago, slowly away. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 34-5316

(8)

Biplane^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 62| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7.1f) 25 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark and couldn't rule out with Simon Walker doing the steering.

Form: 69-3355

(7)

Jems Bond^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr E Cagney| T: A D Brown| OR: 61

8/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and expected to be bang there once again.

Form: 0-12721

(2)

Streetscape²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Miss Alice Keighley⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 59

7/2

Promising individual. 16/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. May well do better and very much of interest off the same mark here.

Form: 065-3

(1)

Inclement Weather^t³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Poppy Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 57

9/2

Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 31 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not taken lightly.

Form: 9432-33

(3)

Ebury⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Mr Frederick Tett| T: S Dixon| OR: 54| D

10/3

Thirty-four runs since last win in 2019. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 5 days ago. Lurking on a good mark and certainly not without each-way hope.

Form: 355-026

(4)

Taqwaa^p,t¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-13| J: Miss Ellie Mayo⁽⁷⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 46| D

150/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2015. 150/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 86/0-950

(6)

Barrister Blaster¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Mr Kevin Skelton⁽⁵⁾| T: M Weatherer| OR: 45

40/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 122 days and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 697390-

Forecasts

Ebury (10/3), Streetscape (7/2), Biplane (7/2), Inclement Weather (9/2), Split Elevens (8/1), Jems Bond (8/1), Fieldsman (16/1), Barrister Blaster (40/1), Taqwaa (150/1)

The one who appeals most is STREETSCAPE, who made a highly encouraging handicap debut following 6 months off at Newcastle where he fared best of those that were ridden up with the pace. There should be better to come from this lightly-raced and well-bred 4-y-o. Jems Bond is largely consistent and arrives here on the back of a career-best display, so he has to be feared. Inclement Weather has been knocking on the door and should go well, while Biplane also needs a second look under Simon Walker.
