Roaring Ralph^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: S D Bowen⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 67| D

11/1

Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 8/1) 17 days ago, that despite not being seen to very best effect. Is now operating 6 lb below last winning mark and he's not one to write off.

Form: 69-7374

(14)

King's Crown^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Dods| OR: 66

11/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. 7/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 17 days ago. Mark has eased a little more if he can put it all together. Yard also saddle Roaring Ralph.

Form: 4-92565

(7)

Masterclass^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Elle-May Croot⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 66

33/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (7f, good) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. All 3 career victories have come at 6f, however.

Buckshaw Village³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 65| BF| D

15/2

One win from 27 Flat runs. 7/2, found run of in-the-frame efforts coming to a halt when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 34 days ago. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little.

Form: 0-24246

(12)

Saisons D'Or²⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 65| D

18/1

Latest win at Catterick in May. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 223146

Biplane^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 64| D

7/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 10/1) 15 days ago, finishing well and looking unlucky not to win. More exposed than most but she's clearly back on a mark she can be very competitive from.

Form: 056024

Ratafia⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Herrington| OR: 62| BF| D

12/1

Took another step forward when seeing off 8 rivals on reappearance at Newcastle (7f) in March. Proved to be disappointing when finishing ninth in a C&D handicap a month later but given a break since and no surprise to see a better showing.

Form: 2112-19

(9)

Create^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 60

12/1

Very good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 22/1) 15 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently having eased in weights and drop back into class 6 company a plus.

Form: 0-80853

(13)

Highland Olly¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when second of 11 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago, coming from much further back than the winner. That unlikely to prove his limit and respected back up at 7f.

Form: 83352

(5)

Moakadd⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cameron Noble| T: R Varian| OR: 64

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 7/1, third of 4 in novice at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 51 days ago, plugging on whilst carrying his head high. Switch to handicaps in his favour now having been gelded and he needs respecting for leading yard.

Form: 573

(6)

The Real McKay¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Murtagh| T: I Furtado| OR: 64

25/1

Magna Grecia filly who improved further when opening her account in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) in March. Feasible to think she can do better still now making turf debut.

Form: 844-21

(10)

Juryman¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J Coward| OR: 54| CD

20/1

Unreliable individual whose sole success to date came over this C&D. However, yet to scale same heights for new yard, only seventh of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 8/1) 15 days ago, weakening final 1f. Best watched.

Form: 08-7607

(11)

Profiteer¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57| BF| D

8/1

Winner at Thirsk in June. 6/4, good second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 10 days ago, headed approaching last ½f. Should give another good account of himself upped 2 lb.

Form: 68-3312

(2)

Arthur Rose⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C G Cox| OR: 54| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 8 days ago, faring best of those held up. Remains early days with her and pedigree an ongoing recommendation.

Form: 5-666

Forecasts

Moakadd (11/2), Arthur Rose (13/2), Biplane (7/1), Buckshaw Village (15/2), Profiteer (8/1), Highland Olly (17/2), Roaring Ralph (11/1), King's Crown (11/1), Create (12/1), Ratafia (12/1), Saisons D'Or (18/1), Juryman (20/1), The Real McKay (25/1), Masterclass (33/1)

Having slipped back down to her last winning mark, BIPLANE has highlighted she's ready to strike in recent starts, looking unfortunate not to add to her tally when fourth over C&D latest having met with trouble in her run. She looks a live player with Highland Olly, Moakadd and Profiteer a trio of the younger brigade others fancied to be in the mix. It's feasible also to see Ratafia bounce back returning from a break.
