7/2
Easy winner of a novices contest over 2m at Hexham last month, makes plenty appeal on handicap debut if turning up in the same mood over this slightly longer trip.

Distant second in two-runner Haydock contest latest, faller at Catterick previously. Has to find something extra to get competitive in this.

10/1
Disappointing at Ayr last month over a significantly longer trip, remains a maiden after 18 starts at this game but has gone close on occasion and better ground should help. Holds place claims.

5/2
Another decent effort at Musselburgh last month to hit the frame off this mark, been holding his form well and should run another credible race.

9/1
Mare was a bit below her best when last seen at Perth in September and comes here with something to prove off a break.

9/4
Isn't the most consistent sort but deserves respect on Newcastle runner-up effort in February, probably doesn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Age: 10|  Weight: 10-0| J: Ross Chapman(7)| T: J C Haynes| OR:  74
12/1
Won off this mark at Hexham last June but has turned in many sub-par efforts since and doesn't strike as one to be trusted.

66/1
Weakened rapidly and pulled up on handicap debut at Hexham last month over 2m4f, form shown to date suggests this will be a struggle.

Forecasts

Toola Boola (9/4), Catchthemoonlight (5/2), Princess Mononoke (7/2), Roja Dove (9/1), Knocklayde Sno Cat (10/1), Mrs Grass (12/1), Your Turn (12/1), Ruby Vodka (66/1)

Verdict

PRINCESS MONONOKE showed improved form last time out to get off the mark in a Hexham novices' contest and a replication of that effort will likely make her hard to hold now on this handicap bow. She makes most appeal despite conceding weight in all directions. Knocklayde Sno Cat isn't ruled out if on a good day while the relatively consistent form of Catchthemoonlight entitles her to respect in this field. Toola Boola and Mrs Grass have the ability to get involved but they are by no means certain to display it.
  1. Princess Mononoke
  2. Catchthemoonlight
  3. Knocklayde Sno Cat
