1st (3)  (14/1 -17%)Snazzy Jazzy |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Snazzy Jazzy 14/1, Useful sprint handicapper who was set some stiff tasks last year but never figured on return in class 2 conditions' event at Haydock (6f) 26 days ago, albeit on the back of 7 months off. Will hold more chance in handicaps at least from sliding mark. | |||
2nd (2)  (5.5/1 -10%)Air Raid |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Air Raid 5.5/1, 3-time C&D winner who ran creditably returning from 6 months off when third of 10 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good) 45 days ago, keeping on. Eased back down to last winning and he's worth considering, particularly on ground softer than good. | |||
3rd (8)  (8/1 +33%)Hyperfocus |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hyperfocus 8/1, Ran only twice in 2021, yet proved he still has plenty to offer this spring, reeled in only late on over C&D in May. Not disgraced eighth of 21 in a stronger race at York since but he's eligible for weaker races than this. | |||
4th (5)  (7.5/1 +17%)Strike Red |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Strike Red 7.5/1, Bagged a C&D handicap last summer and tasted success twice thereafter in 6f handicaps on AW. Caught the eye on return at Newmarket in April but slow starts at Newmarket/York haven't helped since. Return to this stiffer track needs to have positive effect. | |||
5th (9)  (10/1 +55%)Call Me Ginger |
10/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Call Me Ginger 10/1, In cracking form early last autumn, completing a hat-trick when seeing off 21 rivals to take Bronze Cup at Ayr. Yet to hit top form in handful of starts this campaign but another who is steadily easing in the weights for when things do click. | |||
6th (10)  (10/1 +0%)Tipperary Tiger |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Tipperary Tiger 10/1, Readily landed Leicester claimer (7f, heavy) in October and continued good work on AW thereafter, successful twice over 6f at Southwell. Creditable second over C&D 8 days ago but this is a tougher ask back up in class. Eng 6.35 Ripon Wednesday. | |||
7th (1)  (14/1 -75%)Significantly |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Significantly 14/1, Won back-to-back Ascot handicaps over 5f last summer prior to career-best effort when fourth in a Group 3 at Newbury. Gelded, shaped as if needing run on return from 7 months off at that venue in April and better effort expected now on back of a wind op. | |||
8th (6)  (28/1 -100%)Cold Stare |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cold Stare 28/1, Goes particularly well with cut in the ground, going in again from this mark at Ayr (6f, soft) in October. Bubbling under nicely in 6/7f handicaps in recent months but forecast conditions could ideally be softer. | |||
9th (4)  (4.5/1 +10%)Rathbone |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rathbone 4.5/1, Capitalised on falling mark at Doncaster (6f) in April and turned in another solid effort at Thirsk (6f) when runner-up at that venue 3 weeks ago, running on. Just touched off from 1 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago and he's a big player in refitted blinkers. | |||
10th (7)  (2.75/1 +21%)I'm A Gambler |
2.75/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) I'm A Gambler 2.75/1, 3-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 5 days ago, coming home strongly off a sound pace. Possibilities with return to 6f holding no fears and he's the sole 3-y-o in this field. |

1.88/1(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Havana Party 1.88/1, Course winner. 9/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 7 in handicap at this course (8.3f, good) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Not certain to back that up. | |||
2nd (4)  (16/1 -357%)Bashful |
16/1(-357%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bashful 16/1, Fairly useful form for Andrew Balding on the Flat but didn't come up to expectations over hurdles for Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero. Picked up by a shrewd yard and return to this discipline will suit. | |||
3rd (1)  (4/1 +33%)Alpha Cru |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Alpha Cru 4/1, Course winner. 8/1, last of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 12 days ago. | |||

2.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Poet's Dawn 2.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventh of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good) 31 days ago. Down the weights and threatening a return to form, so boasts strong claims. | |||
5th (2)  (22/1 -10%)Gordonstoun |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gordonstoun 22/1, Last of 15 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, soft, 13/2). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Paul & Oliver Cole. Others make more appeal. | |||

10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Carey Street 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. 12/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago. Not discounted. | |||

7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Will He Dance 7.5/1, 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 12 days ago. One for the shortlist. | |||

3.33/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Aighear 3.33/1, Runner-up on debut in Musselburgh bumper. Yet to match that form in three runs on Flat, though she had inadequate test when eighth of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (6.9f, soft) 17 days ago, Significantly up in trip for her handicap debut and no surprise to see her take a big step forward. | |||
6th (7)  (50/1 -127%)Toutatis |

33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lizzie Loch 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, below-par sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 12 days ago, so others make more appeal. | |||
9th (4)  (66/1 -164%)Rita R |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rita R 66/1, Respectable seventh of 12 to Haven Lady in handicap (50/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and more is needed. |
