Great Blasket^b³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 73| D

9/4

4-time winner for connections last year but has been out of sorts this season. Handicapper has given him a chance and not ruled out if he can rediscover some form back down in class.

Form: 386-070

Onslow Gardens¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 67

9/1

Maiden was ridden too aggressively when last of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (8.1f) in February, finished weakly. Has since left the Richard Hannon yard. Remains to be seen if he can bounce back on first start for new connections.

Form: 347-438

Al Mudhaffar^v⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hector Crouch| T: C Fellowes| OR: 67| D

4/1

Dundalk winner for Joseph O'Brien last year but yet to fire in 4 starts for his new handler, though may have needed the run latest when sixteenth of 21 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good) 78 days ago. Could be worth another chance in a first time visor.

Form: 40906-0

Diddy Man¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: T Faulkner| OR: 65| D

5/2

In good heart since joining new connections, latest win at Wolverhampton in April and backed that up when finishing a respectable third of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 15/2) 15 days ago. Solid claims in current form.

Form: 80-4413

Flatley^p⁴⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 64

14/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Amiss on return to turf when reportedly bled, finished last of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 48 days ago. Has something to find back down in trip.

Form: 00-8169

Romanovich^b¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: William Carson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 62| C| D

11/2

Now a 3-time C&D winner following a career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (7.1f, good to firm, 11/1) 17 days ago, making all having been able to bag the favoured stand rail. Up 4 lb but should give another good account.

Form: 2-57271

Forecasts

Great Blasket (9/4), Diddy Man (5/2), Al Mudhaffar (4/1), Romanovich (11/2), Onslow Gardens (9/1), Flatley (14/1)

DIDDY MAN has been in fine form since joining the Thomas Faulkner team and he can make it 2 wins in 5 starts for new connections. 3-time C&D winner Romanovich could prove a danger if he's able to repeat similar tactics as when winning here last month, while Great Blansket could be interesting if rediscovering some form back down in class.
