Fifty Sent²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 62| D

9/2

Good start for new yard on Newcastle's Tapeta in recent months, just fending off the reopposing Tafsir when successful last time. Just as effective on turf and should remain very competitive after a 2 lb rise.

Form: 8752-31

Havana Party^b1¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: I Jardine| OR: 59| BF

7/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good 1¾ lengths fourth of 10 to the reopposing St Andrew's Castle over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago. Not the most straightforward but still merits plenty of respect in a change of headgear (first-time blinkers for usual cheekpieces).

Form: 776454

St Andrew's Castle^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| CD

9/2

First attempt at this trip when seeing off a few of today's rivals here 13 days ago but partnered by a 5 lb claimer on that occasion so he is a fair bit higher in the weights now if that is taken into account.

Form: 273671

Flying Moon¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| CD

14/1

Three-time C&D winner, including this race last year. Creditable second to reopposing stablemate Royal Countess on C&D reappearance but last of 10 in the race St Andrew's Castle won here 13 days ago.

Form: 6408-20

(7)

Coconut Bay^t1⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: T Davidson| OR: 54| D

6/1

Pulled too hard ridden from the front when last of 6 at Carlisle (11f) last Thursday but prior to that she was a creditable third to St Andrew's Castle over C&D. Has a tongue strap on for the first time.

Form: 595636

Royal Countess¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 50| CD

8/1

Third C&D success of her career when seeing off stablemate Flying Moon on her reappearance but a 4 lb rise proved enough to halt her back here since.

Form: 8807-18

(2)

Tafsir^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46

7/2

Just edged out by Fifty Sent at Newcastle before finishing behind St Andrew's Castle (and 2 more of today's rivals) over this C&D since.

Form: 40-9325

Forecasts

Havana Party (7/2), Tafsir (7/2), Fifty Sent (9/2), St Andrew's Castle (9/2), Coconut Bay (6/1), Royal Countess (8/1), Flying Moon (14/1)

This is very trappy. FIFTY SENT could have a bit more to come for new trainer Michael Dods so he is the suggestion. Havana Party was behind a couple of today's rivals here last time but it's possible he could provide the chief threat if a change of headgear gives him a bit of a lift.
