Castan⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 75| D

11/2

Last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy, 13/2) 47 days ago. Probably unsuited by conditions there and had a positive profile towards the end of last year, so one to consider.

Form: 32212-8

Tyke²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 75

11/1

Winner at Southwell in April. Disappointing subsequently and didn't look straightforward at Newcastle last time, so others make more appeal.

Form: 153

(9)

Cavalier Approach¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 62| D

13/2

Winner at Newcastle in May. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good) 14 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 066-612

(2)

Storm Fox³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 9/1) 30 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 43-56

(5)

Cuban Rock¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58

18/1

Fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 7/1) 14 days ago. Not discounted.

Form: 487-004

Forecasts

Storm Fox (9/4), Sparkling Red (10/3), Grandad Bob (7/2), Castan (11/2), Jungle Fever (11/2), Cavalier Approach (13/2), Tyke (11/1), Cuban Rock (18/1), Borough (25/1)

GRANDAD BOB returned with a solid showing when second at Catterick 47 days ago and he's the type to do better with few miles on the clock, so he's preferred to Cavalier Approach, with Castan expected to bounce back from a low-key reappearance on testing ground at Nottingham.
