5/1

Good second of 10 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm, 13/2) 12 days ago. Travels like one who should prove at least as effective back at 7f. Gets the vote.

Danzart²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago. Back on a favourable mark and would enter the reckoning should any of the forecast rain hit (last 5 wins on softer than good).

Forecasts

Highfield Viking (10/3), Grand Citadel (4/1), Finn Ironside (5/1), Jesmond Dawn (5/1), Temper Trap (11/2), Mayo County (8/1), Mark's Choice (10/1), Original Thinker (14/1), Royal Jet (14/1), Danzart (16/1), Ahamoment (40/1)

JESMOND DAWN moves through his races as if this drop to 7f could suit and can resume winning ways back at Class 6 level. Highfield Viking has been shaping up quite well and is second choice. Temper Trap has slipped to a good mark and would be one to consider should the ground go on the soft side.
