Tyger Bay^b,t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁵⁾| T: C Allen| OR: 77| D

7/2

Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 3/1) on Wednesday. Carries penalty but good-value claimer back on and he's clearly in good nick.

Form: 824531

(8)

Level Up^v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 72

14/1

Five wins from 21 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 15/2) 27 days ago and likely to bounce back given overall profile.

Airshow^p,h¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Four-time course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. 5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, unable to adopt his usual prominent pitch.

Form: 364126

Maharajas Express^b²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 72| C| D

9/2

11/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 21 days ago by length from Connie's Rose. 5 lb rise won't prevent a very bold-follow-up bid.

Form: 5-25721

(13)

Alafdhal⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 67| BF| D

12/1

Latest win at Pontefract in April. 4 lengths last of 5 to Tyger Bay in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 3/1) on Wednesday, slowly away. Carries penalty. Merits consideration.

Form: 823215

Silent Flame¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| D

18/1

Heavy defeat when last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 15 days ago. Probably needed that but needs to leave that effort well behind.

Form: 39856-9

(10)

Apache Star¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 67| CD

16/1

C&D winner. Last of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 5/1) 19 days ago. That was disappointing on the back of a promising reappearance at that venue.

Form: 1022-26

(6)

Connie's Rose²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: G Harris| OR: 67| C| D

11/2

Course winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. 15/2, good length second of 9 to Maharajas Express in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Should make presence felt again.

Form: 33016-2

(12)

Some Nightmare²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 67| D

11/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, 6 lengths sixth of 9 to Maharajas Express in handicap at this course (5f, heavy) 21 days ago.

Form: 3047-96

(11)

Sarah's Verse²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Harris| OR: 65| CD

15/2

Three-time C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at this course (5f, heavy, 11/8) 21 days ago by neck from Alafdhal, suited by way race developed. Retains handicap scope.

Form: 445-541

(4)

Aces Wild²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A Wintle| OR: 64| D

10/1

Really going the right way now, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Makes turf debut and he's a huge player.

Form: 0-87211

(5)

Joy Choi²³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: M S Saunders| OR: 59| D

33/1

13/2, bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm). Off 7 months. Others more persuasive.

Form: 453133-

(7)

Dynamite Katie^h¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Joey Haynes| T: G Harris| OR: 55

100/1

33/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 158 days.

Tyger Bay (7/2), Maharajas Express (9/2), Connie's Rose (11/2), Sarah's Verse (15/2), Airshow (10/1), Aces Wild (10/1), Some Nightmare (11/1), Alafdhal (12/1), Level Up (14/1), Apache Star (16/1), Silent Flame (18/1), Joy Choi (33/1), Dynamite Katie (100/1)

In the hope that ACES WILD is as effective on grass (turf debut) he's selected to continue the excellent work from the AW and complete the hat-trick. Maharajas Express and Connie's Rose filled the first two places in a 5f handicap here at the beginning of the month and both should be involved again.
