Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: D Brooke| OR: 53| D

7/2

Modest gelding nowadays. 12/1, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 9 days ago in comfortable fashion. Shortlist material.

16/1

Modest gelding. Course winner. Again ran poorly when last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/1). Off 107 days. Back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: M Wigham| OR: 50| D

10/1

Thirty one runs since last win in 2018. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 25/1). Off 142 days. Chance on old form but recent efforts have been uninspiring.

Suntory Star^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Faye McManoman| T: Sara Ender| OR: 49

50/1

Modest mare. 150/1, returned to form from out of blue on second start for this yard when third of 13 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good) 12 days ago. Can give another good account.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 49| C| D

4/1

Modest gelding. Course winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly.

Form: 548922

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 49| CD

3/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Runner-up twice at Yarmouth before shaping as if still in good heart when fifth of 12 in minor event (9/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago. Respected.

Forecasts

Wrath Of Hector (3/1), Flavius Titus (7/2), Thegreatestshowman (4/1), Red Walls (5/1), Deputise (10/1), Aclaim To Fame (10/1), Gypsy Nation (14/1), Blackcurrent (16/1), Suntory Star (50/1), Sir Arthur's Boy (100/1)

FLAVIUS TITUS produced his best effort for a while to score in similar company at Thirsk last week and he looks capable of following up, with the in-form pair Thegreatestshowman and Wrath of Hector topping the list of threats.
