Natural Force²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 84

11/5

Won on debut at Ascot in May 2023. Third of 5 in novice at Ripon (4/1) on return 25 days ago, slowly into stride but made headway before final furlong, better for run. First try at 6f and on AW surface now and can improve.

Form: 1/3

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Haslam

40/1

Sixth of 7 in novice at Doncaster (66/1) 27 days ago, making brief headway before effort flattened out.

Shamacid¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: S Woods

5/6

Much improved when second of 9 in 6f maiden at Southwell (4/1) 12 days ago, coping well with the drop back in trip and pulling clear of the remainder. Won't need much more to win a similar event.

Kath's Tipple¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: Mrs A Duffield

Unimpressive on debut and showed little more when sixth of 9 in novice at Doncaster (100/1) 13 days ago.

Form: 56

Komorkis⁴³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: R A FaheyWS

7/2

Third of 7 in 6f maiden at Hamilton (9/4 favourite) but lacked sharpness, then disappointed when fifth of 6 in 6f novice at Pontefract (7/2) 432 days ago. Connections keep the faith and she's back from long absence/wind surgery.

Form: 35-

Wee Nan²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Barry McHugh| T: A D Brown

80/1

Last of 6 in novice at Carlisle (25/1) 25 days ago, slowly into stride and never competitive.

Forecasts

Shamacid (5/6), Natural Force (11/5), Komorkis (7/2), Judicature (12/1), Harry Whodeanie (40/1), Kath's Tipple (50/1), Wee Nan (80/1), Hello Summertime (150/1), Yan Tahn Tethera (200/1)

NATURAL FORCE, a debut winner at Ascot before a lengthy absence, shaped promisingly when third at Ripon and should have more to offer. He gets the vote over Shamacid, who ran a cracker at Southwell, and the returning Komorkis.
