Jewel Maker²²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

6/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 33/1) 22 days ago, finding little. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 262-788

Beltane^p1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhys Elliott| T: M Walford| OR: 61| BF| C| D

2/1

Course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 5/2) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go close to ending that long losing run here.

Form: 523-723

(6)

Circles^b,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: C Horgan| T: A McCann| OR: 61

11/2

Latest win at Dundalk in March. Better than result when tenth of 14 in handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good, 50/1) 9 days ago, repeatedly meeting trouble from 2f out. Merits consideration.

Form: 478160

Laudable^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁵⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 59| C

18/1

Landed a hat-trick last summer (first leg coming here) but form tailed off towards the end of the season and not much encouragement could be taken from his return here earlier in the month. Bit to prove back at 1m.

Form: 22287-7

(8)

Mass Consumption^v⁴³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Shay Farmer⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 55| BF

16/1

In frame twice at Newcastle in early-2024 but makes return from 14-month absence over a trip well short of his optimum.

Form: 75/9436-

(3)

Penelope's Sister⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 51

11/4

Caught eye when third of 8 in handicap here (1¼m, good) but failed to build on that effort when down the field at Catterick last week. Drop back in trip not certain to suit.

Form: 6123-37

(1)

On The Bubble¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 44| D

6/1

One of better effots when third of 6 in handicap (25/1) at Musselburgh (9f, good) 19 days ago. Place claims again if able to replicate that in another thin affair.

Form: 00-0483

Forecasts

Beltane (2/1), Penelope's Sister (11/4), Circles (11/2), Jewel Maker (6/1), On The Bubble (6/1), Cisco Disco (12/1), Mass Consumption (16/1), Laudable (18/1)

BELTANE is some time without a win but seems to have landed on a good opportunity here and Mark Walford's six-year-old is taken to build on his good recent effort at Nottingham. Irish raider Circles shaped as if still in good form when getting a luckless run at Roscommon last time and can pose the biggest threat, with On The Bubble taken to complete the 1-2-3.
