Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 67

14/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Not discredited when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago, though very slowly away and went in snatches. Blinkers/hood now reached for.

Dougies Dream^p²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 66| CD

6/1

With cheekpieces reapplied, back to near his best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago. Merits consideration in his current form.

Panama City²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mathers| T: I W McInnes| OR: 65

100/1

Has finished well held both starts this season, last of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 33/1) 22 days ago. Best watched on first run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby.

Le Reveur^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 65| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 11/2, failed to confirm his previous effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, good) 27 days ago. However, he's capable of getting involved as he drops in grade.

Form: 67-4724

(4)

Lunar Space¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65

9/1

Sixteen runs since his only win back in 2021. 33/1, ran better than for a while when sixth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Needs to be able to back up his latest effort.

Form: 000-006

(8)

Blame The Farrier¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 62

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 18/1, not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Has work to do.

Form: 88636

Victoria Falls^v¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Palmer| OR: 60

16/1

Rare below-par effort when fifth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago. No surprise to see her leave her latest run behind.

Hostelry^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 57| D

15/2

Successful at Ayr in May and has been holding her form well since, in first-time cheekpieces when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (firm) 20 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more.

Form: 213233

(11)

Lockdown Lass⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: G Hanmer| OR: 52| CD

7/4

Back up in trip, recorded her second win of the month when landing 11-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (soft) 5 days ago. Carries penalty but she can complete the hat-trick with conditions to suit.

Form: 335011

(6)

Josiebond^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 56| D

18/1

Won at Beverley in June and has made the frame both starts since, fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (1m, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Can give her running again.

Temper Trap²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| D

10/1

Wasn't able to build on his previous effort when tenth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm, 11/1) 22 days ago, though raced closer to pace than ideal. Others more persuasive.

Form: 067050

(2)

Distinction^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Mackie| OR: 50

10/1

Twenty-eight runs since his sole success back in 2021. However, he's been proving consistent this year, third of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (9f, good to soft, 9/2) 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Lockdown Lass (7/4), Dougies Dream (6/1), Hostelry (15/2), Le Reveur (15/2), Lunar Space (9/1), Temper Trap (10/1), Distinction (10/1), Rory (14/1), Gypsy Whisper (14/1), Victoria Falls (16/1), Billy McGarry (16/1), Josiebond (18/1), Blame The Farrier (80/1), Panama City (100/1)

LOCKDOWN LASS made it back-to-back wins when scoring over C&D 5 days ago and, with conditions to suit, she can defy a penalty in her current mood. Hostelry also arrives in good form and is a likely contender, while Dougies Dream won here on his latest outing and completes the shortlist.
