Ravenscraig Castle^p³³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65| D

15/2

Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, good to firm, 5/1) 33 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Needs a couple of these to falter.

2/1

Back from 10 months off when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) on yard debut 8 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds solid claims.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 63

12/1

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Desert Of The Sea⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: E Bethell| OR: 60

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden who posted improved form when third of 10 on handicap debut at Pontefract (10f, good, 9/2) 9 days ago. May have more to offer yet.

Form: 68-03

(2)

Ayr Poet⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-3| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| C

18/1

Course winner. Creditable eighth of 13 in handicap (13/2) at this course (8.3f, good to firm) 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 50-4238

Redondo¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: D Bourke| OR: 59| C

8/1

Course winner who only narrowly failed to make a successful return in Carlisle handicap (11.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 2 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 40060-2

Forecasts

Paper Doll (2/1), Desert Of The Sea (6/1), Ana Emaraaty (13/2), Ravenscraig Castle (15/2), Redondo (8/1), Kalikapour (10/1), Naturalia (12/1), Straya (14/1), Jaminoz (18/1), Ayr Poet (18/1), Toronto Raptor (28/1)

PAPER DOLL made an encouraging start for her new yard at Catterick last week and is entitled to build on that. She gets the nod in the finale. Desert of The Sea and Redondo head the list of dangers.
