Hathlool^h⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 75

13/2

3-time winner on AW for this yard who confirmed more positive signs to make breakthrough on turf at Leicester (8.2f) 8 days ago, suited by strong gallop to aim at. No surprise to see him go well again under a penalty.

Brazen Bolt⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 75| D

7/2

Admirable sort who is enjoying another productive campaign, adding to his tally in cosy fashion at Ayr (7.2f) on Monday. No surprise to see him out under a penalty and well worth considering given he's thriving.

Gabrial The Wire¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Connor Murtagh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 78| BF| CD

15/2

C&D winner who capitalised on reduced mark to score at Doncaster (7f, heavy) in October. Has shaped better than bare result on each of his last 2 starts at Chester from sliding mark and he's one to keep an eye on.

Form: 71-6956

Roundhay Park¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 76| C| D

28/1

7-y-o who tasted success in handicaps at Doncaster/Chester (at up to 7f) last season. Hasn't quite scaled same heights this time around, weakening out of things when thirteenth of 20 over 6f here 13 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 876860

Liamarty Dreams¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

6/1

Returned to form when fourth in a C&D handicap in May and stepped up on that subsequently, making it 2 wins from last 4 starts from the front at Chester (7.5f) 2 weeks ago. 5 lb higher now but expected to go well again in present groove.

Form: 041721

Danzan^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

11/2

Without a win for over 4 years but he's consistent, turning in best effort of the campaign from career-low mark when third in 20-runner 6f handicap here 2 weeks ago. Live each-way player back up at 7f.

Form: 404453

Eeetee¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn⁽⁷⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73

14/1

Ex-French gelding who ran best race for present yard when runner-up in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Chester (7.5f) 2 weeks ago, short of room final 1f but staying on. One to be interested in on the back of that.

Form: 55-2772

It Just Takes Time²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Russell| T: M Walford| OR: 67| D

9/1

Ended last season with back-to-back 6f victories at Leicester/Redcar. Low-key start to present campaign but very much back to form when running out a determined winner at Thirsk (7f) 23 days ago. Only 2 lb higher now but this tougher.

Form: 1-40791

(7)

Testing Faith^h²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Sanderson| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

50/1

Time Test gelding. Runner-up on 3 of his 5 starts, producing best effort yet (in first-time hood) when runner-up in a Chester novice (7.5f) 4 weeks ago. Needs to step up again on that in all likelihood now handicapping.

Form: 228-52

(3)

Ebury²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 65| BF

6/1

Best effort for some time when second over further here 12 months ago. Is now operating 19 lb below that mark and not without encouragement on 2 of his 3 starts at up to 1m in recent weeks. Not dismissed out of hand for all losing run is off-putting.

Form: 060-456

Miss Britain¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 68

12/1

Saw off a dual subsequent winner when opening her account at Ripon (6f) in May and back to that sort of form when runner-up at Carlisle (5.8f) 2 weeks ago, headed well inside final 1f. Steps up in trip now.

Forecasts

Brazen Bolt (7/2), Danzan (11/2), Ebury (6/1), Liamarty Dreams (6/1), Hathlool (13/2), Gabrial The Wire (15/2), It Just Takes Time (9/1), Miss Britain (12/1), Eeetee (14/1), Roundhay Park (28/1), Testing Faith (50/1)

Plenty in with a shout including EEETEE, who dropped the hint he's coming to hand for David O'Meara when runner-up at Chester (7.5f) 2 weeks ago, that despite not getting a clear shot at things late on and, with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb, he could be ready to strike. Gabrial The Wire is bubbling under nicely and is feared, along with last-time-out winners Hathlool and Brazen Bolt.
