Yaaser¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J S Goldie| OR: 68| CD

C&D winner. 8/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Back to a potentially lenient mark but needs to cut the slow starts out. Engaged 4.48 here Thursday.

Leveret^v1³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

Fair maiden at 2 but no significant impact in 3 handicaps this year. A first-time visor needs to have a positive effect.

Form: 748-667

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

Fifth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm, 4/1) 24 days ago. On a favourable mark and he came good at a similar time last year. No shock to see him go well

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| C| D

Forecasts

Jewel Maker (11/2), John L Sullivan (13/2), This Years Love (7/1), Braes Of Doune (15/2), Swift Salian (8/1), Golden Valour (8/1), Game Management (8/1), Mount King (10/1), Yaaser (10/1), Medici Pass (14/1), End Zone (14/1), Sutue Alshams (16/1), Leveret (25/1)

Tim Easterby looks to hold a strong hand here, with JEWEL MAKER taken to gain reward for his recent consistency. Stablemate Mount King came good last autumn and is handicapped to win again. Lucinda Russell 3-y-o John L Sullivan has made a positive start to his career and also makes the shortlist.
