Poet's Dawn^p¹⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-2| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| C| D

10/3

Veteran 5-time course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 12/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, soft) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt in what undoubtedly rates a less demanding assignment.

Form: 226463

Pride Of Nepal^t,p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss S L Bowen| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62| D

6/1

Landed back-to-back handicaps at up to 12f last term and comes here in good order, respectable second of 7 in Ladies' Derby handicap at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should give his best again eased back down in trip.

Form: 042522

Carnival Zain^t1²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: Miss Becky Smith| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 62

9/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, last of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 27 days ago, weakening before final 1f. Potentially very well treated nowadays if a first-time tongue strap has positive effect back up in trip.

Form: 86-4899

(5)

Blue Yonder^p⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: A Watson| OR: 60| CD

13/2

Resurgent from his much-reduced mark, following up his successful jaunt to Jersey in April when edging ahead close home in 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (10f) 6 weeks ago. Handy draw to operate from and definite possibilities from 2 lb higher mark in hat-trick bid.

Form: 9-23411

(8)

Sisterandbrother³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: S A Harris| OR: 58| D

12/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in January. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm, 14/1) 35 days ago. Third from 7 lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago and booking of Simon Walker very much catches the eye here.

Form: 609556

(14)

Abu Royal^p³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Miss Ellie Mayo⁽⁵⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 58

50/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, first run since leaving Heather Main/after 10 months off when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 36 days ago, always behind. This promises to reveal more.

Form: 64570-0

(9)

Lawmans Blis^t⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Miss Stephanie Dorey⁽⁵⁾| T: I W McInnes| OR: 55

40/1

Flat/hurdles winner but not at best on 2 of his 3 starts for present stable, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 545640

(15)

Light Up Our Stars^h,t⁶⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Frederick Tett| T: S Dixon| OR: 55| BF| D

6/1

Gained reward for strong of consistent efforts when resuming winning ways at Yarmouth (1m) in May and unlucky not follow up when second of 6 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good) 66 days ago, faring best of those held up. One to consider back up in trip.

(1)

Star Start^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss C Parker⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 9/1, shaped as if back in form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Well drawn to go forward again but others look to hold stronger claims.

Form: 764764

(13)

Lord Warburton^v,t²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Rebecca Hitchen⁽⁵⁾| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 47| D

50/1

Flat/hurdles winner last season who ran creditably when third over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.6f) in June. Had heavy ground as an excuse when well-beaten in third back there 23 days ago but others make stronger appeal in any case returned to this sphere.

Form: 13958-9

(4)

Regal Glory⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Mr E Cagney| T: Roger Fell| OR: 45

4/1

One win from 28 Flat runs. 15/2, creditable third of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, good to firm) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Laura Mongan and worth noting if the market spoke in her favour.

Form: 496303

(17)

Sun Festival^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Miss Sophie Dobson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 45| D

40/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, below form eighth of 13 in minor event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 43 days ago, weakening 2f out. Needs to leave that well behind and draw makes things no easier.

Form: 285498

(16)

Victoria Legend^p⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Mrs Camilla Parsonage⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

200/1

80/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (12.1f, good to firm) 85 days ago, losing place soon after halfway. Easy enough to look elsewhere back from a break.

Form: 008-767

(12)

Rajawail^t,p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Mr Luke Connolly⁽⁷⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 45

200/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Last of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 80/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others much more persuasive.

Forecasts

Poet's Dawn (10/3), Regal Glory (4/1), Apodictique (5/1), Pride Of Nepal (6/1), Light Up Our Stars (6/1), Blue Yonder (13/2), Star Start (7/1), Carnival Zain (9/1), Sisterandbrother (12/1), Highwaygrey (12/1), Lawmans Blis (40/1), Sun Festival (40/1), Lord Warburton (50/1), Abu Royal (50/1), Rajawail (200/1), Victoria Legend (200/1)

BLUE YONDER is holding it together better than has often been the case, showing a good attitude to back up his successful jaunt to Jersey at Chepstow 6 weeks ago. He can make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick from a 2 lb higher mark, with Apodictique, Light Up Our Stars and Poet's Dawn a trio of others to consider. Pride of Nepal and Sisterandbrother also command a second look in what rates a highly competitive opener.
