7/1

C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 28/1) 10 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and capable of a bold show off this reduced mark, if in the mood.

Barnsnape Boy^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joe Leavy| T: J R Boyle| OR: 56| CD

6/1

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D (good) 15 days ago, readily. Up 8 lb, but he's clearly in top form and another bold show could be on the way.

Form: 059511

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: M Murphy| OR: 50| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Michael Keady when eighth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at this course (6f, good) 14 days ago. Opposable.

Apple's Angel^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jack Doughty| T: S Dow| OR: 51| D

22/1

Latest win at Lingfield in June. 13/2, sixth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f) 16 days ago. 0-6 on turf and she's probably worth taking on.

Dreambird Dolly¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: J Gallagher| OR: 46

10/1

11/1, respectable 4 lengths third of 8 to Barnsnape Boy in handicap at this C&D (good) 15 days ago. Now 9 lb better off with that rival and she should be in the mix.

Forecasts

Call Time (11/8), Secret Handsheikh (9/2), Unico (5/1), Antiphon (6/1), Barnsnape Boy (6/1), Jacquelina (7/1), Dreambird Dolly (10/1), Apple's Angel (22/1), Rogue Endeavour (25/1)

Though 2025 hasn't been particularly kind to JACQUELINA to this point, she has been given a real chance by the handicapper and is worth chancing here with a first-time tongue strap enlisted. The hat-trick seeking Barnsnape Boy has to be feared in current form, while Dreambird Dolly, who was third to Jim Boyle's charge over C&D recently and renews rivalry on appreciably better terms, also enters calculations. Call Time and Secret Handsheikh will both have claims, too, if going to post.
