Selected odds by:
Three Flat wins last summer included one over C&D. Also successful over hurdles at Huntingdon in May but pulled up at Stratford earlier this month (found to have an irregular heartbeat).
|
Largely consistent, bouncing back from a couple of lesser runs when third over 14.5f at Chester a fortnight ago. Each-way claims if stamina holds stepping up to 2m for the first time.
|
Hurdles winner who opened his account on the Flat at Kempton (2m) a year ago and followed that with a trio of in-frame efforts. Respectable fifth of 11 in 2m handicap at Nottingham on reappearance but not at best over hurdles since.
|
Winner of sole start at 2 yrs for Andrew Balding. Has drawn a blank since but recent efforts respectable and his mark continues to edge down. Steps up significantly in trip.
|
Belatedly got off the mark in impressive fashion when scoring by 7½ lengths in 6-runner event (6/4) at Catterick (1¾m, heavy) in April. Respectable sixth of 12 at Hamilton (13f) the following month. Been off 11 weeks.
|
Typical improver from his yard who made it 3-4 in handicaps on his 13f Ayr reappearance on Monday. Escapes a penalty as that was an apprentice race. Proven at 2m. Hard to beat if coping with quick turnaround.
|
Career best when winning easily over 17f at Pontefract but that was a weak 4-runner race and she's been held from marks in the low-70s twice since.
|
Won on reappearance at Doncaster in April. Respectable in-frame efforts at Hamilton on 2 of his 3 starts since. Steps up 3f in trip here.
|
Positive start for the Jim Goldie yard, getting off the mark in clearcut fashion at Catterick (2m, good to firm) 17 days ago. Raised 6 lb for that but she is unexposed as a stayer.
|
Fair maiden. Respectable fifth of 8 at Hamilton (1½m) last month. 4 lb out of the handicap now stepping back up in trip. It's likely that wait for a first win will go on.

Forecasts
Golden Shot (8/11), Captain Kane (7/2), Baez (5/1), Mister Camacho (8/1), Yorkindness (9/1), Zimmerman (12/1), Kalamity Kitty (12/1), Sea Grey (16/1), Caldwell (18/1), Clansman (28/1), Red Force One (33/1), Yakhabar (66/1)
A race which to some degree revolves around GOLDEN SHOT, who will be tough to beat off the same mark as when scoring at Ayr on Monday if this doesn't come too quickly on him. Captain Kane got back to winning ways when stepped up to 2m at Lingfield last time and is second choice ahead of Kalamity Kitty and Baez.
