Kisiyra 363 days

J: Tom Kiely Marshall

T: David Thompson

Form: 055/4-

OR: 72

W: 9st 9lb

Age: 5 yo Filly

Form

Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-8; not beaten far when fourth of six at 66-1 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last June on her stable debut and sole outing of the season, but she's back from another absence today and it may be best to look elsewhere; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Clansman 36 days

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Liam Bailey

Form: 321331 D

OR: 71

W: 9st 8lb

Age: 8 yo Gelding

Form

Two AW wins from the front this spring (1m4f/2m), the latest at Southwell in April when last seen; he's a six-time winner on turf, with all those coming on soft/heavy going; claims enhanced if slow ground prevails.

Sure And Stedfast 18 days

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Ewan Whillans

Form: 182-03

OR: 67

W: 9st 4lb

Age: 4 yo Gelding

Form

Returned to form when third here (1m3f, good) last month on second run of the season; also effective on soft ground; could play a leading role if seeing out this longer trip, and there can be optimism on that score.

Jujubella 15 days

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Form: 776-09

OR: 67

W: 9st 4lb

Age: 5 yo Filly

Form

Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off.

Perseus Way 258 days

J: Rowan Scott

T: Tristan Davidson

Form: 94154- CD

OR: 64

W: 9st 1lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

Won over C&D (good to soft) last September and he's just 1lb higher today; won over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, soft) last month on his second start for this yard and there's lots to like about his claims.

Gallus Norman 14 days

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Form: 785-21

OR: 62

W: 8st 13lb

Age: 7 yo Gelding

Form

Improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in April and easily made all back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago; he enjoyed the run of the race last time but a 6lb rise isn't harsh in view of this unexposed 7yo's dominance; has to be respected.

Glasses Up 14 days

J: Warren Fentiman

T: R Mike Smith

Form: 80-535 D

OR: 58

W: 8st 9lb

Age: 11 yo Gelding

Form

11yo who was a close third over 1m1f at Ayr two starts ago and is versatile trip-wise; however, Ayr brings out the best in him and he was well beaten at Musselburgh last time; 0-4 here, with last visit coming last June.

Annandale 107 days

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Jim Goldie

Form: -53862 D

OR: 56

W: 8st 7lb

Age: 8 yo Gelding

Form

Five-time turf winner who went close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in February when last seen; not discounted but it's possible this 8yo will improve for this first run since; question mark about slow ground nowadays.

Betting Forecast

12/1 Kisiyra, 5/1 Clansman, 4/1 Sure And Stedfast, 12/1 Jujubella, 7/2 Perseus Way, 9/4 Gallus Norman, 25/1 Glasses Up, 10/1 Annandale

Verdict

Last month’s hurdle winner PERSEUS WAY (nap) scored over C&D last September and can make a winning return to the Flat. The very lightly raced 7yo Gallus Norman easily made all at Musselburgh a fortnight ago and could be the chief threat ahead of Sure And Stedfast. The slower the ground the better for Clansman.[Ben Hutton]
