Looking very much out of sorts of late and even in this grade others are more fancied in this.

3/1
The second runner for the yard in this who finally managed to get off the mark when winning at Newcastle in March over 5f. Followed that up with a decent run over C&D but was unsuited by the drop to 5f last time and return to 6f will suit.

Winner of a Leicester seller last year when with Richard Fahey but has run poorly in three starts for this yard all on the AW and hard to make a case for on recent form.

Winner at Hamilton last year over 6f came very much out of the blue and hasn't really shown anything since that would make you want to support her.

11/2
C&D winner who can be a little quirky and has his own way of doing things, not one to trust. Showed up well behind Duncan Of Scotland who runs in the first division of this event and may be capable of making his presence felt.

Remains a maiden but she has less convictions than many of these and has some decent form (for the grade) in turf handicaps mostly with cut. Mark looks fair enough and it won't surprise to see her take a hand.

Remains a maiden after 14 starts and despite the last two starts resulting in placings she still makes only limited appeal as she completes the trio of runners from stable.

Back from a long absence last time out and showed very little, would be hard to recommend.

Goes handicapping off a basement mark after having showed very little in maidens. Drops in trip with the cheekpieces on and not totally written off in what is a very low grade contest.

Forecasts

Polly Douglas (3/1), Sea Of Green (3/1), Lotara (9/2), Secret City (11/2), Whipphound (7/1), Cheeni (8/1), Bahamian Sunshine (8/1), Dutch Dream (16/1), Davinci Dawn (18/1), Trulove (40/1)

Verdict

Hardly a race that sets the pulse racing and supporters of Secret City will be hoping that Duncan Of Scotland runs well in the previous division of this. Polly Douglas and Davinci Dawn have less convictions than many in this field and are not ruled out while the pick of the Goldie trio could well be SEA OF GREEN who will be suited by the return to 6f having run well over this trip before. Although Cheeni and Lotara give the local trainer a strong team in this.
  1. Sea Of Green
  2. Secret City
  3. Polly Douglas
