Clear Angel³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Gina Mangan| T: S Corbett| OR: 68| C

9/2

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good, 7/2) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Now below last winning mark and worth a second look.

Form: 050-855

(1)

Alazwar^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 68| D

25/1

Latest win at Newbury in June. Last of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 14/1) 7 days ago. Could have a part to play if able to bounce back.

Form: 956-210

(3)

Milteye¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Hannah Dring⁽⁵⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 67| BF

4/1

3/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration.

Form: 87-2332

Keady Town³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Paula Muir| T: F P Murtagh| OR: 67

125/1

Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 13 in handicap (200/1) at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Catton Lady¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66| C

5/1

Won 9-runner handicap at this course (7.8f, good to soft, 11/4) 19 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and she's high on the shortlist. Yard also saddles Contrast.

Form: 355-081

(4)

Contrast²⁴⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Serena Brotherton| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66| CD

40/1

C&D winner. 12/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy), suited by way race developed. Off 8 months and this 11-y-o is vulnerable looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 0/21652-

(11)

Distinction^v¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Amie Waugh| T: J Mackie| OR: 65| D

22/1

Latest win at Pontefract in June. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: 367214

(8)

Tee Aitch Aye⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jay Mackay⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 65

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip and worth considering now back on turf.

Form: 44636

(5)

Poet's Dawn^p⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-13| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap at York (10.2f, good, 33/1) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Not discounted.

Form: 432264

(9)

Anjo Bonita²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Faye McManoman| T: Sara Ender| OR: 65| D

25/1

Fourteenth of 20 in handicap at York (10.2f, good to firm, 50/1) 22 days ago and she looks set for another struggle.

Form: 09-8550

(2)

Bellasio¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 64| C

6/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (2/1) at this course (7.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from delivering another bold show.

Form: 68-5221

Forecasts

Milteye (4/1), Clear Angel (9/2), Catton Lady (5/1), Bellasio (6/1), Poet's Dawn (13/2), Tee Aitch Aye (17/2), Izzari (12/1), Destinado (18/1), Distinction (22/1), Anjo Bonita (25/1), Alazwar (25/1), Newtown Duke (28/1), Contrast (40/1), She's Got Bottle (40/1), Keady Town (125/1)

CATTON LADY and Bellasio both won divisions of the same handicap over a mile here last month and are taken to fight out the finish. The latter still has low mileage and is not passed over lightly, but Catton Lady remains on a workable mark up 3 lb and she is preferred. Milteye has been knocking on the door this season and he is third choice, while Tee Aitch Aye is also worthy of consideration.
