Sustained¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 72| BF

9/1

7/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) on reappearance 13 days ago, leading until 1f out. The step up to 1m isn't certain to suit but he likely has a race in him from this sort of mark.

Form: 55535-2

Siam Fox^t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: K Frost| OR: 72| CD

11/1

C&D winner. Respectable return from 5 months off when fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to firm, 16/1) 15 days ago. Should be sharper now and enters calculations.,

Form: 34458-5

Intercessor²⁴⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Poppy Scott⁽⁷⁾| T: D Wingrove| OR: 72| CD

66/1

C&D winner. Added to tally at Brighton last spring but below par when last seen at the end of last summer. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole. The betting should guide.

Havana Prince³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 71| D

9/2

Three wins last year and went in again at Redcar (7f, good) in April. Creditable third of 6 off this mark at Ripon (1m, good to soft) on Thursday. Player if coping with the quick turnaround.

Form: 41-5013

(12)

Phone Tag⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 71| D

9/1

Back to winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 48 days ago. Should remain very competitive after only a 2 lb nudge.

Form: 32-1501

(3)

Cliffcake²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: S R Bowring| OR: 70| CD

33/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February but below par since, including back on turf at Leicester (1m, firm) 22 days ago.

Form: 7-21577

(7)

Kracking^h,t²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 70| D

28/1

Unreliable type. Latest win at Brighton (1m) in April but below par twice since and remains 6 lb above that winning mark.

Form: 643195

(10)

Charencey⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 66

10/3

Multiple winner at up to 7f who caught the eye when midfield in 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. Absent since not being seen to best effect at Southwell later that month and he's down to a handy mark when everything clicks.

Form: 309-558

(8)

Drumstick^h1¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: J Gallagher| OR: 66

11/1

Maiden. Ran up to best when third of 10 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (1m) in April but pulled too hard when last of 13 in apprentice race at Newbury last month. A hood is fitted on the back of that. Claims on the Kempton form.

Form: 543-930

(4)

Dream Pirate^b⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ray Dawson| T: T Kent| OR: 66| CD

11/2

C&D winner. 9/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) on reappearance. Entes the reckoning for an in-form stable.

Form: 06135-6

(6)

Power Of Zeus^v1⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: H Bethell| OR: 65

16/1

Failed to progress as a 3-y-o for Brian Ellison and no upturn in 2 starts for present yard, last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 86 days ago. Visored for 1st time but he has plenty to prove.

Form: 5/470-07

(13)

Diddy Man³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 65| D

15/2

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 33 days ago. Raised 7 lb but could easily have more to offer for a stable he's only recently joined.

Form: 680-441

(11)

Rising Force⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jack Callan⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 61| D

12/1

6/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in April. Had a few next-time-out winners behind him on that occasion so a 6 lb rise looks fair enough.

Form: 427231

Forecasts

Charencey (10/3), Havana Prince (9/2), Dream Pirate (11/2), Diddy Man (15/2), Sustained (9/1), Phone Tag (9/1), Siam Fox (11/1), Drumstick (11/1), Rising Force (12/1), Power Of Zeus (16/1), Kracking (28/1), Cliffcake (33/1), Intercessor (66/1)

A competitive finale. DIDDY MAN has quickly found form for his new yard and might be able to cope with a 7 lb rise having scored off a higher mark in the past. Dream Pirate could come on for his reappearance and is second choice with his stable among the winners. Havana Prince and Sustained also make the shortlist.
