8 yo Gelding

OR: 69

Form & Verdict
A four-time C&D winner; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in right direction with sixth of ten in 1m2f Ayr handicap 22 days ago; very much one to consider off an easing mark.

J: Amie Waugh

T: Jim Goldie

Now 2lb lower than for second of last season's two wins at favourite track Hamilton but well beaten after racing far too freely on both outings this term; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2yo season; risky.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Jim Goldie

Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Not at the top of her game this season but she's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks ago; creditable third of four at Hamilton on Thursday; three wins here include one at this trip and she warrants a good look.

Form & Verdict
A fair 8.5f winner for David Loughnane in 2025; little show first two runs for new yard but much better signs (in change of headgear) with third of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; not out of things on his first go over this trip.

J: Clifford Lee

Won at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last October in first-time cheekpieces and he's one to watch in the betting in first-time blinkers today, but he's struggled on both runs this season and a major turnaround is necessary.

J: Kieran Shoemark

Seven races last year for David Loughnane and sole win in a Wolverhampton nursery (8.6f, AW) in October in first-time cheekpieces, which were kept when never dangerous in his two starts since; latest was stable/seasonal debut (25-1) and maybe he needed that run, but others have more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Fair 1m juvenile maiden; off nine months/gelded before posting a solid fifth of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month, giving the impression he's worth a try over a longer trip; considered.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Kept on for neck second on nursery debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last September; soundly beaten at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 11 days later and he's unproven on slow ground, but he reappears having been gelded and remains one to be interested in given the Thirsk effort.

Form & Verdict
Time Test filly who advanced her form on her handicap debut when a staying-on sixth of ten in 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last month; this longer distance should suit so she merits serious consideration with better to come after just four runs.

J: Connor Beasley

She's raced three times and she showed up well before fading into fourth on her reappearance in a maiden at Newcastle (1m, AW) in April; her pedigree indicates this extra furlong will be a positive on her handicap debut and she's one to consider.

Won a Musselburgh nursery last August (1m, good); gelded before this season, but hasn't improved significantly; good second over 1m4f at Kempton when tried in blinkers (dispensed with here) in April, but not so good since.

6/1

Betting Forcast

6/1 Spanish Hustle, 5/2 Jujubella, 11/2 Ibn Altheeb, 6/1 Mr Moonshine, 100/30 Clocker, 9/2 Port Darwin

Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but Ed Bethell’s CLOCKER remains unexposed and appeals as a likely improver now her stamina is drawn out more so she gets the vote. Course specialist Spanish Hustle heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form pair Ibn Altheeb and Jujubella in this open handicap.[Peter Entwistle]
