Papa Don't Preach^b⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Joe Leavy| T: K Frost| OR: 58| D

11/8

9/4 and blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 5 days ago, slowly away. 5 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose here.

Form: 463581

(4)

Azucena¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 62| D

9/1

Won 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 17/2) 13 days ago, comfortably. Up 6 lb and, moreover, her hit-and-miss profile is cause for concern.

Form: 8-37071

(6)

Lady Nunthorpe^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 61

6/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 18/1) 14 days ago. Wouldn't be without an each-way chance if able to build on that.

Form: 355-883

(3)

Soul Singer¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Amie Waugh| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| D

7/1

Winner at Musselburgh in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Went close over 6f here on sole previous visit during the spring but minor place money is the most likely scenario.

Form: 552014

Rogue De Vega^h³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: A Brittain| OR: 59| D

5/1

Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 3 days ago, left poorly placed. Went close at Newcastle 3 starts back and a reproduction of that form would give him a serious chance.

Al Najada^h1⁴⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 58

80/1

Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good) when last seen 16 months ago. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke and sports a first-time hood.

Form: 675950-

Eeh Bah Gum¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: O McSweeney| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| D

20/1

16/1, fifth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 15 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but it's a big 'if'.

Form: 590575

(9)

Vadamiah^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Mark Winn| T: P T Midgley| OR: 57| D

22/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and needs to raise her game.

Form: 509564

(8)

Street Life^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: P Morris| OR: 49| CD

11/1

Three-time C&D winner. 4 lengths seventh of 9 to Azucena in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/1) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on and he looks vulnerable.

Form: 223927

Forecasts

Papa Don't Preach (11/8), Rogue De Vega (5/1), Lady Nunthorpe (6/1), Soul Singer (7/1), Azucena (9/1), Street Life (11/1), Eeh Bah Gum (20/1), Vadamiah (22/1), Al Najada (80/1)

PAPA DON'T PREACH did the job well when resuming winning ways at Chelmsford on Saturday and he looks more than capable of shrugging off a penalty in this company. Lady Nunthorpe could be the one to follow him home if able to back up her latest effort, while Rogue de Vega needs to bounce back but he will certainly have a chance if able to do so.
