Liamarty Dreams¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

10/1

Quickly back on the up this season and displayed a determined attitude to add to his tally at Musselburgh (7f) earlier this month. Far from disgraced when midfield in 13-runner York handicap (7f) 11 days ago and no surprise to see him go well again for last year's winning yard.

Form: 5-0D416

(4)

The Cookstown Cafu¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

6/1

Ended 2022 in fine form and picked up where he left off with a pair of victories at Redcar and Pontefract. Hard to knock his efforts in defeat since, close-up fourth under change of tactics at Beverley (7.4f) 17 days ago. Respected with any easing of the ground holding no fears.

Form: 12-1124

(7)

United Front¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 84| D

11/1

Finished runner-up to an unexposed sort at Yarmouth 2 starts back and capitalised on his much lower turf mark at Beverley (7.4f) 18 days ago, weaving through to lead close home. Rider's claim off-sets subsequent weight rise and good pace to aim at here will suit.

Form: 843521

(2)

Pillar Of Hope³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

9/2

Low-mileage 5-y-o who stepped up on his reappearance run when getting on top close home at Beverley (8.5f) in April. Similar form when fourth from 2 lb higher mark in Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (10f) 4 weeks ago and cannot be discounted.

Form: 700-514

(5)

Golden Sands^p,h²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| D

22/1

Front runner who opened account for this yard at Kempton (1m) in February. Lightly raced since and bagged first win on turf granted an uncontested lead at Beverley (8.5f) 4 weeks ago. 6 lb higher mark demands more in this deeper affair.

Form: 310431

(3)

Shaladar^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 81| D

18/1

3-time winner at around 1m during a steadily progressive 3-y-o campaign and returned with good second from career-high mark at Redcar (1m, heavy) in April. Good fifth at Hamilton next time but not at best when sixth to Golden Sands at Beverley (8.5f) 4 weeks ago.

Form: 012-256

(11)

Mostawaa¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Main| OR: 80| D

15/2

Capitalised on much-reduced mark at Brighton (1m) last month and built on that under a well-judged ride to follow up from the front under Hollie Doyle at York (8.8f) 11 days ago. Only 3 lb higher now and entitled to go well again in hat-trick bid.

Form: 77-6311

(1)

Painters Palette^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 80

17/2

Excellent start for new yard when landing pair of Wolverhampton handicaps in the spring. Shaped better than bare result at Ripon next time and quickly back to best when chasing home Garden Oasis at Ayr (1m) 15 days ago. Intriguing contender and any rain will suit.

Form: 23-1162

(6)

Mossbawn⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: N Mechie| OR: 79

66/1

Progressive at 4 but didn't build on a good reappearance run in just 4 outings last season. Easy to back and offered little returning for new yard/on back of 8 months off at York (7f) in May. Others make much more appeal.

Form: 7/3040-0

(12)

Award Dancer²³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 79| BF| D

10/1

Ex-Irish gelding who has steadily improved for Grant Tuer, gaining third career success at Newcastle (1m) on penultimate start in October. Absent since finishing midfield at that venue a month later but worth noting he's gone well fresh previously.

Form: 182318-

(9)

Garden Oasis^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

25/1

Finished runner-up in a race that is working out well at Pontefract (1m) in May and duly built on that when landing 7-runner Ayr handicap (1m) 2 weeks ago, by length from Painters Palette. 3 lb higher now and he could well face a good deal of competition on the front end.

Form: 070-721

(17)

On The River¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: H Bethell| OR: 78| D

11/1

Improved model for present yard, completing quick-fire hat-trick in handicaps at around 1m at Nottingham in May. Went down only narrowly at Beverley (7.4f) on latest outing 17 days ago and this sort of mark not beyond him on that evidence.

Form: 56-1112

(16)

Vaccine^p⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 78| BF

9/1

Remains winless in handicap company but comes here in good heart, hitting the frame in pair of Pontefract handicaps (at 1m) during the spring, latterly behind The Cookstown Cafu during early May. Given a break and good showing anticipated.

Form: 0-24523

(10)

Star Zinc¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 76| D

22/1

Fairly useful handicapper who capitalised on career-low mark to shed maiden tag at Southwell (1m), a well-run event on just his second AW start suiting well. Handicapper has reacted but a good pace here will suit, as will any further easing of the ground.

Form: 456-601

(13)

Tilsitt^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: B A Curtis| T: R M Smith| OR: 76| BF| D

17/2

Successful twice either side of finishing a good fourth from a 3 lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago. Steadily back to form this term, good third in 7-runner handicap at Ayr (1m) 15 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 26-0853

Forecasts

Pillar Of Hope (9/2), The Cookstown Cafu (6/1), Mostawaa (15/2), Painters Palette (17/2), Tilsitt (17/2), Vaccine (9/1), Liamarty Dreams (10/1), Award Dancer (10/1), United Front (11/1), On The River (11/1), Bashful (12/1), Hortzadar (14/1), Shaladar (18/1), Golden Sands (22/1), Star Zinc (22/1), Garden Oasis (25/1), Mossbawn (66/1)

Unsurprisingly claims can be made for most and with that in mind a chance is taken on VACCINE. He ran well when placed in a pair of Pontefract handicaps during the spring and any further easing of the ground will hold no fears on the back of a short break. Painters Palette for Rebecca Menzies, Beverley-scorer United Front and hat-trick seeking Mostawaa head the dangers. The thriving Bashful can't be discounted either if taking up this engagement.
