(5)

Primo's Comet¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| CD

5/2

6-time C&D winner who wasn't disgraced at Ayr 10 days ago. Drops in grade and makes plenty of appeal in suitable conditions.

Form: 532354

(11)

Aconcagua Mountain^b²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 59| D

7/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 5/1, shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton and latest effort at Catterick is easily excused.

Form: 0011-58

(8)

Show Compassion^b1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Dods| OR: 55

9/1

Below form last 2 starts and, while she's becoming well treated, she's hard to support with any great confidence.

Form: 620469

(4)

Sixcor^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Winn⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 55| D

10/1

Mark is becoming increasingly appealing and there have been better signs the last twice, so could get involved if things drop right.

Form: 04-6835

(10)

Al Najada^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 59

50/1

Only fifth at Windsor last time but still quite unexposed and blinkers could perk him up, so not completely dismissed.

Form: 8-67595

(7)

Latin Five¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 53| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 742562

(9)

Cuban Rock⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56

6/1

Slipping in the weights without any obvious indication that he's about to take advantage. Only sixth at Doncaster last time.

Form: 7-00446

(3)

Jazzagal¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| D

18/1

Won a nursery last year. Too free at Thirsk on return and likely to better that for stable in good form.

Form: 66517-8

(1)

The Grey Lass^t,v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 47| D

22/1

Struggling for form lately and stall 1 isn't usually favourable on this straight track, so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 16-6340

(2)

Mrs Bagerran²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: William Pyle⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 47

6/1

Long-standing maiden who returned to form when second at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Not sure to back that up, however.

Form: 0-38772

(6)

Koropick^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 45

33/1

Doesn't seem to retain much ability.

Form: 26009-9

Forecasts

Primo's Comet (5/2), Latin Five (9/2), Mrs Bagerran (6/1), Cuban Rock (6/1), Aconcagua Mountain (7/1), Show Compassion (9/1), Sixcor (10/1), Jazzagal (18/1), The Grey Lass (22/1), Koropick (33/1), Al Najada (50/1)

PRIMO'S COMET took a step in the right direction last time and has an excellent track record, so he gets the nod down in grade. Latin Five is an obvious danger and Aconcagua Mountain is worthy of consideration on the back of an excusable run.
