@13.00
Lose
-100
Preference here goes to the Ruth Carr runner, Lord Protector. Seems a bit of a handful for the stable, having mounted on course when last seen. Always seems to be taken down early, which suggests he is quite troublesome. Plenty of forgiveness required, and hopefully a first-time hood can make the difference. If so, then I think he looks a real player here off a career-low mark. Very effective over this trip, and he holds some decent form on turf that, if transferred to the AW, makes him quite a big price.

-50
Preference here goes to the John Berry runner, Merrijig. You have to feel sorry for this horse given he received a 10lb hike for winning very comfortably at Ripon on soft last year. Ever since, he's been fighting a lofty mark, and that is now beginning to ease somewhat. Ran to form when last seen over C&D off 10st 2lb. Won at Carlisle last year carrying 10st 6lb, so he looks feasibly well treated here carrying 9st 12lb. Slightly back up in grade here, but he does like to come off the pace, so a better race may bring him on.

-50
Preference here goes to the Ivan Furtado runner, Brave Empire. Arrives with a bit to prove, but he can be forgiven for his latest effort in which conditions off a lofty weight carry was always going to be a real test of stamina. Ran to form on his penultimate run, on slower ground, when 4th out of 8 over 7f at Epsom. Didn't have much to find with Diamondonthehill, and that horse operates off 83, so Brave Empire is on a competitive mark. Switches over to the AW very well handicapped off his past form. Won a C2 handicap at Lingfield in Feb, 2024 off 94. He's 11lb lower now, and despite the age to weight concession, he could be a huge price in this company.

-50
Preference here goes to the Michael Appleby runner, Mr Lightside. Arrives with a bit to prove after a string of sub-par performances of late. Certainly can be forgiven for his latest run when prominent at Wolverhampton over 6f before finding trouble. This is a horse that has been pitched in Listed Company earlier in the year finishing just over a length behind a 101 rated, Tropical Storm. That leaves this horse very well handicapped in this grade.

Preference here goes to the Mark Usher runner, Rhyme Dust. Ready winner at Salisbury when beating the well-fancied Palio Di Siena over 6f. Took a huge leap forward in a first-time hood. Maybe has a bit to find in this company, but she's likely to be ridden up with the pace, and with a stiff finish, anything is possible. I believe this horse is way above a mark of 70, so that leaves her with an each-way shout with a majority of the field fighting for out-and-out form.

That form has been franked with the Quinn runner winning again off 72. That leaves Lumenbourg on a fair mark with the valuable 5lb claim that Archie Young brings. Career best required in a competitive race, but he's highly fancied to be right there once again.

Preference here goes to the Mark Walford runner, It Just Takes Time. Previous C&D winner that arrives with a bit to prove after a sub-par effort last time. That run can be overlooked given the competitive nature of the race, and at the weights, he had plenty of improvement to find. He did try and make the running but failed to see it out. He's now been afforded two weeks off track, which may spark him back into life. Continues to edge down the weights, and stepping back in trip and grade may bring him on.

Preference here goes to the Richard Hannon runner, Signcastle City. Can be excused for his latest effort at Goodwood when finishing way down the field. That is such a specialist track that needs a lot of luck in running. Switches back to the AW with a bit to prove over this trip, but a slower surface may help and he is back on a winning turf mark over 1m at Ripon in 2024. In good form earlier in the year. Tops RPR's by 2lb, so if he runs his race he could be the value selection based on form.

Preference here goes to the George Margarson runner, Mythical Guest. Arrives with a bit to prove after finishing way down the field at Ascot on his latest. Never got involved and was denied a clear passage. In good form prior off a higher mark. Drops back into calmer waters with top jockey Richard Kingscote entrusted. Rarely out of the frame in this grade, and given an inside draw, he could be well-positioned to end his lengthy losing run.

Preference here goes to the Eve Johnson Houghton runner, Bishop's Crown. Previous C&D winner, that was well held last time when taking a big leap into a higher grade. Won off this mark in 2024 when comfortably in front of Capote's Dream back in April. Backed that up later in the year when finishing 4th out of 12 behind Lucky Man. The form of that race can be marked up significantly given the lofty weight carry. Drops back in grade and the yard have reached for a first-time visor. Couple that with the 5lb claim that Jack Dace brings, then this could be a difference maker. Attractively weighted for a horse that likes to go forward.

Preference here goes to the Jennie Candish runner, Narmar. Ran to form despite finishing mid-division at Chester when upped in trip on his latest. In good form prior when finishing a close third behind the now 87 rated, Brave Zulu. That leaves this Candish gelding very well handicapped over a mile off 76. Remains to be seen if he is a bona fide 1m2f horse, but a faster surface may bring him into contention off an even gallop.

Preference here goes to the Ian Williams runner, Night On Earth. Previous C&D winner that ran out an unlucky loser when just touched off by, Spring Is Sprung at Haydock on Sunday. Goes again off an unchanged mark and once again very attractively weighted for a horse that likes to make it. Does have to back it up after a quick turnaround, but he's an uncomplicated sort that may be hard to pass from a good draw. Looks the stand-out on the figures, so if he runs his race, he may just have too much in hand.

Preference here goes to the Michael & David Easterby runner, Casilli. Three-time C&D winner that's failed to make a telling impression over 1m2f, as an eight-year-old. As a consequence, this mare has fallen 7lb in the ratings from when last seen over these conditions back in May. On that day, she finished 3rd out of 12 behind Coolree, with a 1lb to find on level terms, and that horse operates off 64. That leaves Casilli very well handicapped off 58.

Held in rear off a steady start and failed to make an impression thereafter. In good form prior, finishing 3rd in the Nunthorpe. Ran to form at Redcar on his seasonal reappearance off a 2lb higher mark. The form of that race has worked out well, with the 2nd and 3rd placed runners having won again since. Wide draw to contend with, but the pace forecast looks strong and a stiff 5f off an attractive weight carry looks favorable.

Returned to form when sent up in trip, at Chepstow. Made late gains from off the pace and she was just touched off by Spirit Of The Bay. Likely to be held again, and if given a significant pace to aim at, she could easily back up her latest run despite a lofty weight carry. Remains well treated on past form over these conditions. Top jockey entrusted in David Probert.

Preference here goes to the George Baker runner, Kitaro Kich. Not seen to best effect when last seen at Chelmsford when sent up in trip. Being held up off a slow pace was far from ideal. Hopefully, from stall 6, we see a more forward approach and ridden closer to the pace. Strike off his latest effort, his form figures on the AW since January read as follows: 1-3-1-1-2-1-2. That record varies from 7f-1m. Ran a career best in March at Chelmsford off only a 2lb higher mark. Looks a big price over these conditions. Trainer/jockey combo in-form.

Preference here goes to the John & Sean Quinn runner, Red Mirage. Arrives with a well-established profile having won four out of his nine starts on the AW. Uncomplicated sort that can win over a varying degree of pace. Untroubled at Doncaster last time when just doing what he needed to do when stalking the pace. Looks chucked in off old form despite a 3lb hike. Remains well handicapped off past exploits and Oisin Murphy is 1-1. Attractively weighted for a horse that could be far above his current mark back over these conditions.

Preference here goes to the Jonathan Portman runner, Mrembo. Ran to form at Sandown when vying to make all off a steady pace. Well backed that day, but found the favorite too good in Kings Castle. That horse is now operating 8lb above this handicap, so the form should transfer well here in a thinner race. Cosy winner at Bath in May off a 4lb lower mark. Disappointing at Newbury when upped in trip. Likes to make it, and the return of Trevor Whelan holds appeal with the jockey holding form figures of 2-3-1 this year. Back down in grade.

The form doesn't look that compelling, but she showcased a good attitude to win with ease. Backed that up on her latest start when an unlucky loser behind Gregorino. There may be more to come off what remains a competitive mark. The lofty weight allocation remains a slight concern. This may end up being a crawl and that may bring her into contention. Trainer/jockey combo in form.

Preference here goes to the Richard Fahey runner, Ziggy's Condor. Modest gelding that's been hit and miss this year. The key to this horse is just catching him on a going day. Clearly a talented horse that rose to a mark of 87 in 2024. That was after posting a career best at York when just touched off by Diligent Resdev. In good form prior to his Southwell run off a 3lb higher mark at Musselburgh. Drop back to 6f holds appeal and he's on a dangerous mark if putting it all together.

That looked a much deeper race than this and a return to a slicker surface should suit. Drops back to a more favorable trip and he looks well treated over these conditions. Likely to be prominent and he seems to be on a competitive mark going off past form. Trainer/jockey combo in-form.

Preference here goes to the James Horton runner, Angel Of Rain. Not seen to best effect at Ascot when sent up in grade. Handed a more prominent ride that day, that ultimately didn't work out. I would be surprised if they didn't switch back tactically and give her a more patient approach. Looks well handicapped on her penultimate run when faring better than the bare result over 7f at Doncaster. Only 5lb separate the field on RPR's so this could be a fairly close run affair. The harder they go, the better her chances if ridden chilly.

Dwelt the start, but made good headway from 3f out to take full advantage of a useful claimer on board. Probably had the better of it at the weights, with the fav, Financer who certainly ran a good race. On that showing I believe a 4lb rise seems fair for the Camacho runner and a mark of 81 remains competitive at this grade.

Looked the standout runner at the weights. She's only been nudged up 1 lb. Remains on a fair mark given she was a length better than Greek Order off 97.

Preference here goes to the Jamie Osbourne runner, The Fingal Raven. Arrives off the back of a career-best at Sandown when finishing a close third behind Mudbir. That form has been franked with the Gosden colt winning at Goodwood off a 2lb higher mark. On level terms, The Fingal Raven had three lengths to find, so he looks nicely handicapped off an unchanged mark of 91. In good form this year over in Meydan over the 1m trip, finishing 2nd to a Group horse in Ruling Court in a Listed race. This is a huge step back in grade.

Got his ideal scenario coming off a strong pace to lead, Arctic Thunder. The pace forecast again looks favorable, so more of the same is expected. Another huge effort required off a lofty weight carry, and that may leave him with a bit to find, but this is a step back in grade and he may be too good for these.

Preference here goes to the Archie Watson runner, Zayer. Holds a modest profile, but he's put in a string of good runs this year that suggests he's making steady progress. Seems to have upped his game since the application of cheek-pieces - posting back-to-back career-best RPRs. The decision to step back up to 6f looks a smart move, given I do think he lacks the overall pace to be effective over 5f. Looks a very competitive race with 4lb separating the field on RPRs, so I'm happy to take a win-only stance here.

The race probably got away from him, having handed too much slack to the second. Only had a length to find, so dropping back in grade off 113 makes him a serious threat if able to carry 9st 7lb weight over a stiff test. Holds previous winning form over this trip when heading a big field at the Royal Meeting. Looks strong on the figures and highly fancied to go well.

Posted a career best at Haydock on his penultimate run off his current mark. Took full advantage of a light weight carry over a stiff track. That was a very competitive race with a clear standout winner in Piage De Havre. This doesn't look as deep of a race, so it's expected he should be right in the mix again.

On level terms, he had five lengths to find with the 100 rated Shagraan. That leaves him well handicapped off 91, and he looks nicely treated at the weights over these conditions. Holds a tendency to mount in the chute, which is far from ideal, but a high draw looks favorable, and he has fancied runners alongside that could give him a nice pull into the race.

Arrives off the back of a career-best at Ascot behind War Howl. That runner slightly had the better of it at the weights, and that probably was the difference on the day. Gets a 2lb hike, but I believe there is more to come off his revised mark of 75. Drops back in grade, and for me, this Frost runner is 3lb above this handicap. Prominent runner that may be hard to stop if handed a soft lead.

Preference here goes to the Tom Tate runner, Equiano Springs. Three-time C&D winner that arrives in poor form, but he's been at York over the last three occasions and he generally never seems to enjoy it there. As a consequence, he's dropped to a very workable mark - despite his veteran years. Finished 3rd in this race last year off a mark of 77 - behind Spring Bloom. He's also won twice over the July course off 76 & 79. He now operates off a basement mark of 69, so he looks a cracking each-way bet if a return to this track does spring him back into life.

Holds previous form over C&D when behind the hot favorite, Bernard Speirpoint in Sept 24.

Can be forgiven for his latest effort over a testing 1m 2f at Doncaster. Prominent for a long way, but having to concede plenty of weight to the top two ultimately caught him out. He was hampered too, which isn't ideal. Drops back in trip, which may see him to better effect. Wolverhampton winner in 2024 over an extended mile.

That was evident when finishing fourth behind Big Mojo at Ascot with only two lengths to find. Not seen to good effect next time when vying to conquer 7f on fast ground. Made some gains, but left with too much to do after a messy start.

Ideally wants soft ground, but he was quite effective at Hamilton in June off a 2lb higher mark over further on good. That was a competitively run race, so he does appear to thrive to a certain extent with that set-up. He had nine lengths to find with Adalo off level weights and that horse operates now off 86. That leaves this Easterby runner well handicapped off that form if putting it all together.

On that evidence, he looks to be on a fair mark if transferring that level over to the AW. Lacks experience over this trip, but conditions could be key, as he's likely to come off the pace.

Remains well handicapped off his peak best over C&D when a close second to a very well-treated Billyjoh in 2024. That horse now operates off 92, so any repeat of that level of form should have Tyger Bay chucked in if he can shrug off a 9st 9lb weight carry. I'm more encouraged by the fact he has been afforded a 35-day break. The retainment of Joe Leavy should bring a level of consistency too.

He was pulled up on his penultimate run when losing a front shoe. His SP was 5/1 in a 0-75 contest. He drops back in grade with plenty to prove as the veteran in this field, but if he's on a going day, he could cause a big upset here. Only 5lb separate these on RP ratings, so this may be closer than the markets anticipate. Gets a useful 5lb claim that effectively drops this horse to a competitive weight carry.

Preference here goes to the J R Jenkins runner, Sir Rodneyredblood. Clearly had limitations when vying to make all when sent over C&D in April. That was on rattling ground, so he may fair better with some ease. Not as prolific as he once was and certainly better on the AW. He's been afforded some time away, so hopefully he returns fresh and he holds proven form when coming off a break. His sole turf win did come at this course, but that was in 2022, so it's not form you can throw your hat on. Despite that, this is low level stuff and RP ratings have him 5lb better than the fav off his recent best. If on a going day he could outrun his odds, and the return of Marco Ghiani holds some value.

He ran well at Newmarket last year off 82, so he's handicapped to go well off 76. Looks nicely treated at the weights, over these conditions, and a wide draw may allow him to stay trouble free. He will need some luck in running, but he's proven to be very effective when coming off the pace.

Preference here goes to the Stuart Williams runner, Kracking. Previous C&D winner that ran below form when last seen at Beverley over an extended 7f. Free-going type that likes to dictate the pace, but struggles to see out his races. Clearly, this horse would be better suited to a more patient ride - given his best top-speed figures have come when in rear. That said, Brighton does suit handy types and he's only 2lb higher than his comfortable win here in April in front of the now 71 rated, Shaw Park. This obviously looks a tougher assignment stepping up in grade, but he's 1lb better on RP ratings over the fav, so if on a going day he could figure at a price.

Preference here goes to the David O'Meara runner, Cosmos Raj. Not seen to best effect when handed a poor draw at York on his latest run. In good form prior when winning again off a mark of 77 at Ripon. Hold-up operator that ideally requires a strong pace to aim at. Hopefully, they go a good clip and that will certainly bring him into contention. Looks nicely treated at the weights over these conditions and Cian Horgan brings a handy 5lb claim.

Preference here goes to the Joe Tickle runner, Taritino. Not the most straightforward these days, and that's been evident in his last two flat starts. He was a prolific 4-year-old that notched up a hat-trick of wins on the flat in 2024. He's been highly consistent over hurdles this year, winning at Taunton off 88 in April. Stamina proven over 2m, so he probably would benefit from a more patient ride. Holds winning form over this trip off a 3lb higher mark around this time last year. He's also won off 9st 4lb when in rear at Chepstow after a slow start. He could be a huge price if tactically ridden differently.

Preference here goes to the E McNamara runner, Meehall. Ran to form at Killarney when finishing 3rd out of 11 over 2m 7f when last seen. Made the running, but eventually surrendered the lead to more accomplished horses over that distance. I thought the form looked decent having only a length to find with Jeu De Pic who has been nudged up to a mark of 97. That leaves Meehall in a good operating window if taking back to this more staying trip. Galway handicap winner in Oct last year off 95. Bit more required, but G B Noonan retains the ride bringing a handy 5lb claim. Chance if this becomes a real test of stamina.

Preference here goes to the Adrian Wintle runner, Aces Wild. Arrives in-form after posting a career best at Chester, off 68, to win by a head. The form of that race looks strong, given the top three have all run well. Off level weights, Aces Wild had only 1lb to find with the favorite, Secret Minstrel, who operates off 74. That leaves Wintle's runner well in, with Taryn Langley's 5lb claim. Ran well over C&D on his penultimate run where he just bumped into a track specialist to finish a short-distanced 2nd. Should have the right set-up here to get involved.

Preference here goes to the Ann Duffield runner, Azucena. Ran well below form when last seen at Ripon with no explanation given. Probably more effective on the AW, but she won a conditions race at Leicester off 9st 9lb on quick ground in first-time head-gear back in May. She's been afforded a 48 day break off track, and that may freshen her up. Good course jockey, Oisin Mcsweeney brings his handy 3lb claim. That drops this horse to an attractive weight for a prominent runner drawn in stall 1.
