13:52 Hayadh

Lots of these arrive with major question marks against them, but HAYADH holds leading claims at these weights and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account for Ollie Pears. Soundslikethunder also has the form to play a big role if back on song after his layoff with cheekpieces fitted for the first time.

14:27 Good Measure

Both Mattice and Rebel Love have the form to play a part if at their best and Roshambo is well in the mix too on the back of her encouraging Wolverhampton second. However, GOOD MEASURE comes from a family chock full of winners so is taken to go in at the first time of asking and provide William Haggas with yet another winner.

15:02 Kidwah

With the experience behind her Global Context may be able to reverse debut C&D form with Pepsi Cat but both may be fighting for minor honours behind KIDWAH. William Haggas’s filly overcame evident inexperience to win on her 2yo debut and sets a fair standard for the others to aim at.

15:37 Sparkling Red

Zebadaay should be more clued up than on his York debut and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market in relation to his stablemate Twilight Tryst. Edgar Linton has shown winning potential and is feared but SPARKLING RED made the subsequent National Stakes winner work hard at Thirsk on her debut and she looks the one to beat.

16:12 Mick McHugh

Dandy Dinmont looked a very unlikely winner at halfway here 17 days ago but he produced a very strong finish to win with something in hand. He can go well despite a 4lb rise but there are viable alternatives. Dusky Prince (second choice), who met trouble behind Dandy Dinmont in that C&D race last month, has since gone well at Salisbury and is high on the shortlist but MICK McHUGH may be the answer. His AW efforts in January were both promising and he’s been gelded since a low-key turf run last month. He moves into handicaps with a fair bit of untapped potential.

16:45 Lightening Company

A good few arrive on a career-high mark, including Stay Well, whose improvement in recent times has come for the switch to Polytrack. Pride Of America and Forest Falcon, who’s weighted to turn things round with the penalised Bollin Joan from Ripon last Thursday, are both happiest up front and a good pace would suit Baryshnikov and Turntable, who are usually ridden with patience. The vote, though, goes to LIGHTENING COMPANY, whose course win in April has been boosted since and who shapes as though he will be suited by this step up in trip having had no luck at York three weeks ago.

17:15 King’s Commander (NAP)

A case can be made for a few of these, but KING’S COMMANDER (nap) created an excellent impression when scoring at Thirsk and can be confidently expected to make a winning return on his handicap debut with this step up in trip also a big plus. Myristica didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when fifth at Haydock and is weighted to have a say, while both Jean Baptiste and Thunderclap look ready to step forward and need factoring in too.

17:45 Rocket Dancer

There’s not much to choose between ROCKET DANCER and Motarajel on revised terms from Beverley but the winner had something to spare that day and is fancied to confirm placings. The well-handicapped Dr Rio and Buford, who’s switched yards since twice underachieving in April, are two others to consider.
