Big Bard^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Anna Gibson⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65| D

4/1

Won back to back over 6f at Windsor (heavy) and Brighton (good) in the spring. Not seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in an amateur riders' event last time and treated as if still in form.

Form: 6-62115

(8)

Bayraat³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Billy Garritty| T: T P Tate| OR: 64| CD

11/2

Started his career in bumpers but has ended up a sprinter, finally getting off the mark in an 8-runner event over C&D last month. A 2 lb nudge is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing.

Form: 40-4821

(7)

Dandys Derriere^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 59| D

6/1

Back to form to take advantage of his reduced mark in a 6f handicap at Thirsk (good to firm) 13 days ago. Raised 5 lb for that but he is unexposed as a sprinter.

Form: 3-65061

(6)

Rhythmic Acclaim²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: P J McBride| OR: 64

4/1

Runner-up over 6f at Chelmsford and Brighton on both handicap starts. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 56-7422

(4)

Higher Law¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: K Frost| OR: 63

15/2

Made an encouraging start for his new yard when fifth of 13 in 6f Doncaster handicap 18 days ago, beaten by under a length despite meeting trouble on a couple of occasions. Good shout.

Form: 34-685

(1)

Marwari¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58| D

33/1

Three AW wins at Southwell last year. Creditable second of 13 there in February but absent since a lesser run at Newcastle in March. Yet to win on turf.

Form: 525-620

(5)

Mostallim^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| D

10/1

Third is the closest he's got in his 7 starts this year and he was never involved at Pontefract last time. Others are more obvious.

Form: 977430

(3)

Enderman^v¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 55| BF| D

3/1

One win from 32 Flat runs. Visored first time (retained), creditable third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago, better placed than most.

Form: 277243

Forecasts

Enderman (3/1), Big Bard (4/1), Rhythmic Acclaim (4/1), Bayraat (11/2), Dandys Derriere (6/1), Higher Law (15/2), Mostallim (10/1), Brother Sebastian (20/1), Marwari (33/1)

HIGHER LAW may well have won at Doncaster with a smoother passage and is worth a chance to build on that promising first run for his new stable. Bayraat, a C&D winner last month, and Big Bard head the dangers.
