Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: Michael Keady| OR: 54| D

10/3

Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. 9/1 and visored for first time, tenth of 14 in handicap at Leicester (6f, firm) 10 days ago, doing too much too soon.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 54| D

Snow Berry^p¹²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 52| CD

8/1

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f), very slowly away. Off 129 days and while he as a good record here, he comes with risks attached.

Form: 77475-0

(9)

Masterclass^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: P T Midgley| OR: 52

8/1

Twenty-runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 19 days ago, though that run easy to excuse given he stumbled at the start.

Form: 080-756

(2)

Banana^p,t⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: S Dixon| OR: 52| D

7/2

Winner at the 48th time of asking at Bath in May. 4/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 6 days ago. That confirms she's in excellent heart.

Form: 027312

(8)

Stroxx^b⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 51| D

17/2

Three wins from 66 Flat runs. Latest win at Catterick in April. 14/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, hampered. Usual blinkers back on and he merits consideration.

Form: 921482

Dunnington Lad^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Eaves| T: P Winks| OR: 50| D

Marcus^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Egan| T: C Wallis| OR: 45

12/1

Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 16/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 19 days ago. Has good chance on back of that sound return to action.

Form: 36237-3

Gypsy Nation^p,t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: M Appleby| OR: 45

14/1

Forecasts

Antiphon (10/3), Banana (7/2), Jamie Bond (6/1), Masterclass (8/1), Snow Berry (8/1), Stroxx (17/2), Tilsworth Ony Ta (11/1), Marcus (12/1), Gypsy Nation (14/1), Dunnington Lad (28/1)

It took BANANA at eternity to get off the mark but she did it at Bath this month and last week's close second at that venue confirms she's in really good order. She looks the pick of this bunch, with Marcus and Stroxx a couple of potential threats.
