Profit Refused⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 87| BF

9/2

Has made a strong start for Ollie Sangster, winning 7f handicaps at Wetherby and Chester prior to losing little in defeat when second of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 11/4) 41 days ago, only denied by a game rival. Likely to go well again.

Form: 05-1312

Diamondonthehill^p⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 85

11/1

Has been ultra consistent for this yard in recent months prior to running a lesser race upped in grade when thirteenth of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good) 8 days ago. Ought to be more competitive eased slightly in grade.

Thunder Blue^b1,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: J A Osborne| OR: 83| D

11/1

Winner of a Racing League handicap at Wolverhampton off 2 lb higher last summer but failed to get competitive when dropped back to this trip latest, finishing seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on and has a bit to prove now.

Form: 56-6587

Bob Mali⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: C Hills| OR: 87| D

14/1

Successful on 3 of his 4 starts as a juvenile for Ollie Sangster but hasn't built on promising start for new yard, latest twelfth of 14 in handicap (9/1) at Goodwood (7f, good) 75 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can get back on track following a break.

Form: 118-240

(13)

King Of Light⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 87

28/1

Useful dual 5f scorer at 2 yrs but below form this season, including on final start for Karl Burke (since sold for 70,000 gns) when nineteenth of 24 in the Palace of Holyroodhouse handicap at Royal Ascot (5f, firm) 48 days ago. Unexposed over this longer trip on stable debut. Not dismissed.

Form: 417-780

(8)

Addison Grey¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: C G Cox| OR: 87| D

4/1

Made an impressive winning debut at Southwell (AW) last November. Disappointed at Doncaster on return prior to getting back on track when winning a 4-runner novice at Salisbury (6f, good) 12 days ago. This is much more competitive but he remains open to improvement now handicapping.

Form: 1-71

(5)

Roberto Caro³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: A Keatley| OR: 82| D

15/2

3-time winner as a juvenile (latest off this mark) and has been shaping well in handicaps since his reappearance this season, finishing a close fourth at York having not been ideally placed prior to meeting interference when fifth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 36 days ago. Remains of interest.

Form: 100-845

(4)

Northcliff^v²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: T Faulkner| OR: 82| D

11/1

Completed a hat-trick on debut for current connections at Ascot in May and has been consistent thereafter, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Ascot (6f, firm) 27 days ago. Should give his running again.

Form: 111643

Juan Les Pins¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| D

5/1

On a long losing but continues to shape well from a handy mark, not ideally placed when fifth of 22 in handicap at York (6f, good, 13/2) 13 days ago. Well handicapped if things fall right.

Form: 806535

(3)

Northern Spirit^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 80| BF| D

14/1

Latest win at Beverley in April and got back on track when a creditable third of 22 in handicap at York (6f, good, 10/3) 13 days ago. May fall short upped in grade.

Form: 4-16953

(10)

Tiger Tulip¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: H Main| OR: 78| D

9/1

Recorded all-the-way 6f wins at Windsor (good) and Newbury (good to firm) and ran well in pursuit of the hat-trick faced with softer ground when creditable second of 11 in a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Should continue to give a good account.

Form: 080112

Count D'Orsay^p²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

66/1

Had had excuses this season, not helped by an unhelpful draw when sixth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Chester (5.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Mark is falling but may be seen to better effect under more testing conditions.

Form: 1-05766

(7)

Treacherous¹²

Age: 11| Weight: 8-12| J: Finley Marsh| T: E De Giles| OR: 73| D

28/1

Veteran managed to hit the target twice in 2024 and got back on track returned to the minimum trip when respectable sixth of 19 in handicap (33/1) at York (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago, doing as much as he could from off the pace. Steps back up in trip/grade but is capable of holding his own.

Form: 235086

Montezuma²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 72

16/1

Ex-Charlie Appleby gelding stepped forward from his debut for current connections when third of 7 on handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago, unlucky not to finish up with the first 2 having been hampered. Low mileage and remains open to improvement.

Form: 55-73

Forecasts

Addison Grey (4/1), Profit Refused (9/2), Juan Les Pins (5/1), Roberto Caro (15/2), Tiger Tulip (9/1), Northcliff (11/1), Diamondonthehill (11/1), Thunder Blue (11/1), Northern Spirit (14/1), Bob Mali (14/1), Montezuma (16/1), King Of Light (28/1), Treacherous (28/1), Count D'Orsay (66/1)

This could set up nicely for JUAN LES PINS who remains dangerously well-handicapped. He's take to end his losing run at the expense of Robeto Caro who has also been shaping well in handicaps of late and will be suited by the prospect of a strongly-run race here, while Montezuma is low mileage for a sprinter and could be open to improvement having caught the eye when an unlucky third at Hamilton last month.
