Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 83| D

(7)

Showdaisy^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 87| CD

Meadway^p⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: B Smart| OR: 87| CD

(1)

Olivia Fallow¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 85| D

14/1

Disappointing favourite at Thirsk over 5f last month but put in a better performance when third at Redcar (good-to-firm) subsequently. Well held in a better race at Epsom earlier this month and more needed here.

Form: 60-4730

(8)

Straightothepoint^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: B Smart| OR: 84| BF

8/1

Finished runner-up twice over 6f at Ripon (good-to-firm) this spring and beaten just 2L despite finishing last of six over 5f at Ayr (good) three weeks ago. Worth a check in the market here.

Form: 342-226

(9)

Orient Class²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁷⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 84| CD

16/1

Best effort on turf this season came when beaten 1L into second over 5f at Thirsk (good-to-firm) last month. Held twice on soft ground since and quicker ground forecast today is likely to see him in a better light.

Form: 826245

(2)

Stanghow¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 83| D

22/1

Form: 02-9042

(12)

Highly Sprung¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

22/1

Well beaten in two runs since finishing third over 5f on the AW at Chelmsford last month. Races off a mark 2lb lower than when fifth at Lingfield (good-to-firm) last time but others make more appeal at present.

Form: 032395

(4)

Paddy Power¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 81| D

7/1

Successful at Newmarket (good-to-soft) over 5f when sent off favourite for a handicap in May. Beaten 6L off this 6lb higher mark at Epsom (good) over 6f subsequently and likely to fare better in this.

Form: 504-210

(14)

Zac Brown^t⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: C Wallis| OR: 75| D

13/2

Registered his second success in his last three starts when winning over 5f at Goodwood (good-to-soft) last weekend. had previously finished a close fourth in a 20 runner contest at Nottingham (good-to-soft) and likely to run well under a penalty today.

Form: 592141

(5)

Tylery Wonder^b¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Martin Lane| T: P T Midgley| OR: 80| D

28/1

Running well enough without winning this season. Finished fourth of seven at Doncaster (soft) over 5f last time out and looks vulnerable despite a 2lb drop in the weights.

Form: 0-73254

(11)

Tommy G²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 77

14/1

Victorious over 7f at Ayr (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing and ran well when fourth of six over 5f at the same track on good ground subsequently. Making just his third start over 5f here and less exposed than most at this distance.

Form: 376-414

(6)

Lotara¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-0| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 59| D

66/1

Winner on her debut for this stable over 5f at Newcastle on the AW last September. Put in a couple of decent efforts so far this year including when fourth of eight over 6f at Ayr (good) last time out.

Form: 7054-04

Forecasts

Rasheeq (4/1), Zac Brown (13/2), Excessable (13/2), Paddy Power (7/1), Straightothepoint (8/1), Showdaisy (11/1), Fast Track (14/1), Olivia Fallow (14/1), Tommy G (14/1), Orient Class (16/1), Meadway (18/1), Stanghow (22/1), Highly Sprung (22/1), Tylery Wonder (28/1), Lotara (66/1)

ZAC BROWN can follow up his recent success at Goodwood by taking this competitive looking sprint under a penalty. The selection was winning for the second time in his last three starts and can get the better of last years winner Meadway today. Of the remainder Excessable failed in his bid to land a hat-trick last time but can claim third here ahead of Fast Track who returns from a six week break today.
