Beltane¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| CD

4/1

C&D winner from 5 lb higher mark 11 months ago and best effort since the turn of the year when third returned to this C&D 3 weeks ago. Well treated if he can build on that now.

Form: 67-9563

War Chant²⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 71| D

9/1

Much improved when rattling off quick-fire hat-trick in handicaps at around 1m last summer. Well below form final 2 starts and market may prove a good guide as to expectations returning from 8 months off.

Form: 511170-

(8)

Lenny's Spirit^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71| D

17/2

7/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to soft) 19 days ago, not having the room to fully open up in the final 2f. Slow starts have crept in of late however, and that does need monitoring.

Form: 1176-94

(5)

Poet's Dawn²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Alexander Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| CD

14/1

4-time C&D winner who ended last season with sound in-the-frame efforts at York/Newmarket. Feasible to think he needed the run back from 6 months off at Ripon (1m, heavy) 26 days ago and handy draw to operate from here.

Form: 51042-6

(12)

Soames Forsyte^p³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| BF| D

12/1

Ninth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 9/2) 35 days ago, short of room over 2f out and not quicken. Remains 2 lb above last winning mark returned to turf.

Form: 325249

(11)

King Of York^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 68

14/1

Latest win at Southwell (7f) in March. 20/1, seventh of 11 in handicap back at that venue (7.1f) 16 days ago, very slowly away. Others appeal more back on turf.

Form: 231467

(13)

Coolree^b²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66| BF| D

12/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/4) 21 days ago, challenged under 2f out and one paced. May need further assistance from the handicapper before becoming of significant interest.

Form: 540253

(6)

Strangerontheshore^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7.4f, good) 8 days ago, keeping on. That should have put him spot on for this and he's an each-way player.

Form: 57351-4

(1)

Young Fire^v¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 65| D

9/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Thirsk (8f, soft) 10 days ago, never nearer. Visor back on and he's worth a second look from a handy draw/career-low mark.

Form: 65-9974

(4)

Rievaulx Raver^p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 64| D

50/1

Last of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Thirsk (8f, soft) 10 days ago. Usual cheekpieces back on but yard look to hold much stronger claims with She's Got Bottle.

Form: 67000-0

(9)

Mickey Mongoose⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: Olly Williams| OR: 62| D

40/1

Latest win at Southwell in March. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (16/1) back at that venue (11.1f) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 090-710

(17)

Tasever^p³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

20/1

Maiden who went close to bucking that trend on a couple of occasions last term, including at Pontefract (1m) in October. Well beaten after 5 months off at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 5 weeks ago though, and he'll need to leave that in his wake. Widest draw to overcome.

Form: 97257-0

(15)

Langton Wold¹⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 61

15/2

Largely ran with credit in defeat on the level last term and matched previous best (fair form) when successful over hurdles at Sedgefield (16.8f) in December. Respectable fourth when last seen in that sphere in February and not out of things returned to the level.

Form: 59/6337-

Whatwouldyouknow⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 58| C| D

80/1

Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in November but out of sorts when last seen on AW earlier this year, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) in February.

Form: 149-807

(3)

The Muffin Man²⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Aiden Brookes⁽⁵⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 46

125/1

13/2, sixth of 9 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good). Off 8 months. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Jessica Macey. Plenty to find on form.

Forecasts

She's Got Bottle (3/1), Beltane (4/1), Young Fire (9/2), Strangerontheshore (13/2), Langton Wold (15/2), Lenny's Spirit (17/2), War Chant (9/1), Coolree (12/1), Soames Forsyte (12/1), Poet's Dawn (14/1), King Of York (14/1), Tasever (20/1), Vondelpark (33/1), Mickey Mongoose (40/1), Rievaulx Raver (50/1), Whatwouldyouknow (80/1), The Muffin Man (125/1)

YOUNG FIRE ran well having been caught wider than ideal when fourth at Thirsk 10 days ago and, lurking on a very dangerous mark, he could well be worth chancing in the hope he gets the gaps with his usual visor refitted. Beltane is another on a handy mark and feared along with the thriving She's Got Bottle who steps back up in class in pursuit of the hat-trick. Lennys Spirit is also in the mix.
