Mariee³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80

2/1

Slightly disappointing when beaten favourite at Chelmsford last time over 1m, but she may have found that trip a little bit too sharp, and she is entitled to do better now going over further off the same mark.

Form: 2-32253

Save The Bees¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Neil Farley| T: D Carroll| OR: 80

11/1

Slightly inconsistent type but has shown his ability over this trip before. Only 2lb above his most recent winning mark now, likely to be on his preferred ground and can't be discounted.

Form: 610-077

Sunglider¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76

7/2

Beaten favourite at Wolverhampton over further last time out and steps back in trip now. Has been running well in most of his recent ways and can't be discounted.

Form: 33157-1

Glance My Way²⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

12/1

Having his first run for a new trainer and as a gelding, having been off since September. Entitled to need this run after that lay-off, and he may find the ground a bit too quick given his only career victory to date has come on soft.

Form: 26170-8

Kingthistle²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: R Menzies| OR: 73

3/1

Put in his first poor performance for a while at Haydock on Saturday over a similar trip to this, and this has the potential to be a better race, but he can't be discounted on his recent form if able to bounce back.

Form: 1-13136

(4)

Indian Chief²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: D Fentiman| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 71

18/1

Back-to-back winner last summer and returns to the second of those two winning handicap marks, but on recent evidence it seems to be more than just his rating which is stopping him from getting competitive, and something more will be needed here.

Form: 87087-7

(8)

King Of The Celts²⁴⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

9/1

C&D winner last May but hasn't achieved much since, and has remained on a similar mark throughout. Seems as if the handicapper may have his measure by now.

Form: 616467-

Tin Pan Alley⁵⁸⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 67

20/1

Returns to the track for the first time since September 2015, having put in only below-par efforts prior to that absence. More than entitled to need this run after such a long time off.

Forecasts

Mariee (2/1), Kingthistle (3/1), Sunglider (7/2), Theos Lolly (7/1), King Of The Celts (9/1), Muqarred (10/1), Cornborough (10/1), Save The Bees (11/1), Glance My Way (12/1), Eez Eh (12/1), Brandon Castle (14/1), Indian Chief (18/1), Tin Pan Alley (20/1)

MARIEE was slightly disappointing last time out over shorter than this, but it seems likely that this trip will be what she wants from now on and given she's relatively lightly-raced and with a progressive profile it's perfectly possible that she could improve to take this. She is the selection ahead of Kingthistle, who was consistent ahead of a below-par run at Haydock on Saturday, while Cornborough could also go well now racing over a more suitable distance on the Flat.
