Lightsome^v1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Page Fuller⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 54

8/1

Still a maiden after 16 starts but has run okay in two runs for this yard and she's well handicapped on bits and pieces of old form. Dropped another 2lb now and despite her being beaten as favourite last time out, she makes some appeal here,

Form: 940988

Pushkin Museum¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: P Morris| OR: 54

11/4

All wins have come over the minimum trip but fared well at Newcastle last time out when finishing third of 13 and he is 20lb below his last winning mark so obviously well treated on best from and he has the services of the top amateur in the race.

Tribesman^b,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Becky Smith⁽³⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 53

10/1

One win from 23 starts but not won since his debut. Did place at this course last time out and probably better over this distance so he's not one to put a line through.

Oor Jock^b¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr L McGuinness| T: A McGuinness| OR: 53

2/1

Irish raider who won well here two starts back but had not scored in previous 54 efforts and started a new losing run last time out at Dundalk. There's a suspicion this track suits him better than the AW track in Ireland but he's clearly a tricky customer and his amateur jockey will need to time his run to perfection if he's to get his head back in front on his 100th start.

Mr Chuckles^p³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Mr J J O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 50

4/1

Turned a corner since joining this yard with two runner-up efforts and a third last time out. Very well handicapped on his old form so another bold show anticipated here if he is in the same mood.

Fossa³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Miss Becky Brisbourne⁽³⁾| T: W M Brisbourne| OR: 47

7/1

Losing run stretches back to 2013 and while he recorded two placed efforts here at the start of the month, he disappointed again last time and he's not one to rely on.

Form: 685935

Louis Vee¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Brodie Hampson| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 46

25/1

Seven-time winner who won off an 11lb higher mark at Chelmsford last year but his inconsistency is a cause for concern. Has won over C&D but he's tough to catch right.

Form: 759833

Gypsy Rider²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-5| J: Mr C A Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: H Tett| OR: 45

66/1

Returned after a short break with an uninspiring run last time and not managed to place in last eight starts so he looks opposable for a rider yet to have a winner.

Form: 80-0651

The jockey booking of Simon Walker on PUSHKIN MUSEUM is eye-catching and the gelding ran well last time out so he's taken to score from 20lb below his last winning mark. It's still early day for Lightsome with regards to her career with this yard and she didn't go off without market support last time so she's likely to prove better than what she showed at Newcastle last week. Ocotillo is another who has improved for a switch of yard and his consistent nature gives him a squeak here. 1. Pushkin Museum 2. Lightsome 3. Ocotillo
