Cliffcake⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Ethan Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: S R Bowring| OR: 74| CD

8/1

Nine wins from 34 Flat runs. Stepped up on his recent run when justifying support (5/4) in 8-runner handicap at this C&D 56 days ago, well on top finish. One to consider with 7-lb claimer now on board.

Zargun³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 62

Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. Not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 38 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62| CD

11/1

Forecasts

Westmorian (7/2), One More Wave (7/2), He's An Angel (9/2), Dark Side Thunder (5/1), Cliffcake (8/1), Grenham Bay (17/2), Ignac Lamar (11/1), Jungle Charm (14/1), El Montejean (25/1), Zargun (66/1), Murbih (66/1)

Several last-time-out winners in the line-up, with preference for WESTMORIAN who scored a shade cosily at Newcastle 6 days ago and goes unpenalised for that success. Heading the list of dangers is He's An Angel, who isn't taken lightly in his bid for a 5-timer, while Jungle Charm could still have more to offer on her handicap bow.
