He's Our Star^b¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: A W Carroll| OR: 41| CD

28/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm, 80/1) 17 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on but has work to do on these terms.

Headshot¹⁰⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Molly Gunn⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| D

22/1

Modest gelding. Latest win at Southwell in March. Bit below form sixth of 11 in minor event (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 109 days but he represents yard with superb Brighton record.

Form: 53-4516

(4)

Letter Of The Law^b²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 47| CD

9/1

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Chepstow (8.1f, good) 22 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: 0-52427

River Wharfe^p¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| C

8/1

Modest gelding. 7/2, won 5-runner handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Didn't look an easy ride but he's fit and in form.

Form: 470351

Top Button^h,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 49

10/3

6/1, good second of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, finishing well. Unexposed on turf so he's on the shortlist back up in trip.

Form: 769672

(6)

Clear Justice^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G & J Moore| OR: 48| C

6/4

Modest gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 10/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 626-871

They¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: G Boughey| OR: 47

4/1

Modest filly. 7/2, respectable fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations given she's unexposed compared to a few of these.

Form: 688-034

Forecasts

Clear Justice (6/4), Top Button (10/3), They (4/1), River Wharfe (8/1), Milvus (8/1), Letter Of The Law (9/1), Headshot (22/1), He's Our Star (28/1)

TOP BUTTON hasn't had much exposure on turf and having stuck to his task pretty well over 7f at Leicester last time, is just about the most persuasive option upped slightly in trip. Clear Justice and They head the opposition.
