Unico³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Davies| T: C Gordon| OR: 60| D

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Good second of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good, 14/1) 31 days ago. Very much one to consider on the back of that display.

Form: 326-952

(7)

So Grateful⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 59| D

16/1

Latest win at Thirsk in May. 18/5, ninth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. Best to overlook that and he has each-way claims here.

Form: 214919

(17)

Crocodile Power³⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 59| D

18/1

Second of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Catterick (6f, good) 38 days ago. Solid claims off the same mark.

Form: 15-0002

(8)

Jump The Gun^p¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: I Jardine| OR: 57| C| D

5/1

Unreliable type. Course winner. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 555266

Cuban Storm^b¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 57

14/1

12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. Now 1 lb lower and he could have a part to play returned to turf.

Form: 109-063

(14)

Mighty Power¹⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: L Williamson| OR: 55| D

100/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 25/1). Off 107 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Form: 8798-97

(15)

Dorothy May²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs to find a jolt of improvement from somewhere.

Form: 7640

(16)

Back Tomorrow²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 52| D

25/1

Three wins from 10 runs this year. 33/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Not without each-way hope in an open-looking race.

Form: 393356

(13)

Fallen Soldier⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 58

25/1

Form: 343898

(5)

South Road¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 57

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 45-596

(3)

Superior Council^b,t¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Greg Fairley| T: I Jardine| OR: 50| BF| D

4/1

Winner at Hamilton in June. Respectable second of 9 in minor event at this course (7.2f, good to firm, 7/4) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly.

Form: 348-612

(6)

Brave Bob¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 54

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good 1¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Baby Rover in handicap at Redcar (6f, firm, 10/1) 16 days ago, running on. Looks on a good mark and one to consider.

Form: 0-604

Summerstorms Dream¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and sizeable step forward needed now handicapping.

Form: 679

Baby Rover¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: K Scott| OR: 50| D

17/2

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (10/1) at Redcar (6f, firm) 16 days ago, better placed than most. This is tougher.

Forecasts

Due Respect (5/2), Superior Council (4/1), Jump The Gun (5/1), Brave Bob (7/1), Baby Rover (17/2), Unico (9/1), Gesundheit (12/1), Cuban Storm (14/1), So Grateful (16/1), Crocodile Power (18/1), Back Tomorrow (25/1), Fallen Soldier (25/1), Summerstorms Dream (33/1), South Road (40/1), Heritor (66/1), Dorothy May (66/1), Mighty Power (100/1)

BRAVE BOB needs to raise his game, but that's entirely possible following just four starts and he shades preference ahead of Crocodile Power and Superior Council, both of whom put in solid shifts when runner-up on their latest appearances. The selection wasn't seen to best effect when fourth in the 11-runner Redcar contest won by the re-opposing Baby Rover last month and is now 4 lb better off with that rival. He should have more to offer given his low mileage.
