Lechro^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Molly Landau| T: J Candlish| OR: 59

6/1

6/1 and visored for 1st time, much improved when winning 10-runner handicap at Beverley (12.1f, soft) 22 days ago, forging clear. Shortlist material.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: P Hanlon| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 58

18/1

50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Flying Moon³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: Jack Nicholls| T: R M Smith| OR: 54| D

10/3

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, soft) 39 days ago, fading late. Worth chancing from a lenient mark.

Owens Lad^b,t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Paul Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 52

7/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 34 days ago. Should give another good account but doesn't have a great strike rate.

Form: 419042

Chief Craftsman^p¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Thomas Easterby| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

5/1

Creditable second of 7 in handicap (13/8) at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago, running on. Solid claims.

Milltown Lily^t¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Mr Jack Lander| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 45

7/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good to firm, 6/1) 12 days ago. Unlikely to feature.

Forecasts

Flying Moon (10/3), Owens Lad (7/2), Aighear (5/1), Chief Craftsman (5/1), Lechro (6/1), Milltown Lily (7/1), Super Stars (10/1), Sefton Warrior (18/1), Ebony Maw (25/1)

LECHRO took a marked step up in a first-time visor when landing a Beverley handicap in convincing style and, despite the handicapper having a big say, she's worth a chance to follow up at the possible expense of Flying Moon. Aighear arrives in good order and is also expected to be on the premises.
