Wichahpi^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 64| CD

4/1

C&D winner who has dipped below last winning mark and took a step back in right direction when sixth of 14 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Underfoot conditions will hold no fears and she's one to bear in mind returned to sprinting.

Form: 527-056

Havana Rum²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64| BF| D

11/4

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 7/4, respectable second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 22 days ago. Another who arrives on a handy mark and no surprise to see him thereabouts again.

Form: 884322

(5)

Belsito^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 63| CD

13/2

C&D winner off 1 lb lower last year who hasn't been disgraced in recent starts, settling better than on her penultimate start but lacking a change of gear when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 22 days ago. Conditions will hold no fears and he's an each-way player.

Form: 722-044

Annie Edson Taylor¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 61

20/1

Won a maiden at Bath over 5f last September (final start for Kevin Thomas Coleman). Exploits mixed since returning for new yard, again running some way below her best when last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago. Has something to prove at present.

Form: 21-0570

Mattice^p⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: I W McInnes| OR: 59| D

28/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 41 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Mark has eased further ahead of this at least and conditions will hold no fears.

Form: 832-008

City Of Strangers⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee| T: I Furtado| OR: 63| D

16/1

Much improved on handicap debut when making all at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in April. However, disconcerting she's gone the wrong way from that in trio of starts since, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f) 49 days ago. Takes on her elders for the first time here but conditions are an unknown.

Form: 5-61468

(13)

Agnes Grey^b⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 56| CD

18/1

Fitting of blinkers/return to softer ground seemingly the catalysts when opening her account over C&D last summer. Not in same form next 3 starts but entitled to strip fitter for first start for 6 months when eighth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 73 days ago.

Form: 91866-8

(9)

Blue Seeker^t¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 61

33/1

7f winner during the winter who was consistent in defeat on all-weather earlier this year for Simon & Ed Crisford. Not yet recaptured best form in pair of starts for new stable though and ground this soft possibly not ideal.

Form: 633359

(12)

Dream Deal^t⁴¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| D

5/1

Sole win from 24 starts came at Catterick (6f) in summer 2023 but he comes here in good heart, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (6f, good) 41 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark if building on that here.

Form: 730-264

(1)

Larchill Lass²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 61| C

12/1

It's now thirteen runs since last win in 2024 and she comes here having run below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm, 4/1) 23 days ago, losing ground start and making no impression.

Form: 652047

(7)

Mister Sky Blue^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 59| D

17/2

Winner at Hamilton in May. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago, no extra final 50 yds. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not discounted for each-way purposes.

Form: 5-31574

(4)

Memphisatmidnight²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 57

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, failed to improve when seventh of 14 on handicap debut at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Remains early days but he needs to pull out more if he's to break his duck here.

Form: 6447

Sporting Life³⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 53WS

22/1

Son of Sergei Prokofiev who showed promise on first of his 3 starts in maiden/novice contests at up to 6f last summer. Feasible to think he could do better now handicapping on return/following wind surgery (also gelded) and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively.

Form: 768-

Forecasts

Havana Rum (11/4), Wichahpi (4/1), Dream Deal (5/1), Belsito (13/2), Mister Sky Blue (17/2), Larchill Lass (12/1), City Of Strangers (16/1), Agnes Grey (18/1), Annie Edson Taylor (20/1), Sporting Life (22/1), Mattice (28/1), Memphisatmidnight (33/1), Blue Seeker (33/1)

Successful from a 2 lb higher mark over C&D last summer, WICHAHPI ran her best race of the present campaign when finishing sixth in a Catterick handicap 4 weeks ago. A return to sprinting will hold no fears in a race that is likely to test stamina to the full under these conditions and she's of interest in an open-looking handicap. Havana Rum has been shaping up well and rates an obvious threat, ahead of Dream Deal. Sporting Life is one to note in the market on return/handicap debut.
