Masque Of Anarchy¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Olive Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 70| CD

5/1

Solid return on AW in April and duly built on that when scoring with a bit in hand over C&D in May. Essentially found things tougher in stronger company subsequently but his mark is steadily easing again.

Form: 86-5179

Billy Roberts¹⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Stephanie Jardeback⁽⁵⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 68| C| D

18/1

Veteran course winner who scored twice last season and confirmed he still has plenty to offer when runner-up on return at Ripon (9.7f) in May. Not in same form since though, well held in Queen Mother's Cup on latest outing 16 days ago. This less demanding at least.

Form: 206-260

Unplugged²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 68| CD

13/8

Looked unlucky not to make a successful return from 5 months off here (12f) in May and gained compensation in straightforward fashion in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Haydock (11.6f) 24 days ago, winning readily. Well in the mix again from 3 lb higher mark.

Form: 4443-21

Lenny's Spirit^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Sophie Smith| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68| D

11/2

Won 3 times last year (at up to 9.5f) and quickly dispelled a lesser effort when dead-heating in amateur riders' event at Newbury (10f) 18 days ago. Yet to defy a mark this high but he's a largely consistent sort.

Form: 56-5581

El Bello²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 65

40/1

Dual 7f winner on AW for Marco Botti but ended time with that yard below form and yet to show signs of revival for present stable, weakening from 2f out when eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (1m) 4 weeks ago. Up in trip now.

Form: 7870-08

(4)

Rievaulx Raver^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 72| BF

7/1

3-y-o who came in for a good ride when dead-heating in 1m Ripon handicap on penultimate start. Not in same form back at that venue from 3 lb higher mark 11 days ago but better showing certainly not ruled out here.

Form: 353316

Sameem^p⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

6/1

Stepped up on his reappearance when ending long losing run in Ripon Ladies Derby 2 weeks ago. Similar form when runner-up in amateur riders' event at Hamilton (13f) on Thursday and not underestimated in present groove.

Form: 250-612

Dancing Gypsy^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 68| BF

16/1

Still looking for first success but ran up to best when third in a C&D handicap back in May, sticking to it well having forced a good pace. Good showing anticipated from same mark with cheekpieces now enlisted.

Form: 5-52353

(7)

Dandy's Angel¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Miss Lois Teal⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 53| D

18/1

Fallen to last winning mark and took advantage when leading late on at Beverley (10f) on penultimate start 2 starts back, well positioned. Matched that level when close up third back there 13 days ago and she rates an each-way player once more.

Form: 646313

Twoforthegutter²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Alice Stevens| T: Ian Williams| OR: 62

40/1

€155,000 2-y-o who showed more than previously when fourth in a 9-runner Nottingham novice (8.3f) on qualifying run 4 weeks ago. In good hands and capable of better now handicapping. One to monitor closely in betting for positive vibes.

Form: 9-64

Forecasts

Unplugged (13/8), Masque Of Anarchy (5/1), Lenny's Spirit (11/2), Sameem (6/1), Rievaulx Raver (7/1), Dancing Gypsy (16/1), Dandy's Angel (18/1), Billy Roberts (18/1), Twoforthegutter (40/1), El Bello (40/1)

Having looked an unlucky loser here in May, UNPLUGGED gained compensation with plenty to spare in a similar contest at Haydock 24 days ago and, with the drop back in trip holding no fears (previous C&D winner), he looks to hold sound claims from a 3 lb higher mark. Dancing Gypsy, Lenny's Spirit and Sameem head up the dangers.
