Fruit Salad^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Fran Berry| T: J D Bethell| OR: 72| D

10/3

Not at her best on the last three occasions, but has had vague excuses on at least a couple of those and now drops slightly in the weights. Has gone well here in the past, and came to hand around this time last year.

Form: 2214-36

Krystallite¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S Dixon| OR: 70| D

25/1

Winner over 5f on Tapeta two starts ago at Wolverhampton and is 3lb higher now, having finished out of the picture off her lower turf mark since. Evidently more effective on a synthetic surface and capable of hitting the frame.

Form: 095-710

Reedanjas⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Nathan Evans⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 75| D

10/1

Won a low level maiden on debut before being outclassed in Listed company, and has since run some creditable races in handicaps. Mark is slowly lowering as well, and so she demands close attention here.

Form: 10-743

(9)

Intense Romance¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 75| CD

5/2

Dual C&D winner who has won a further race at this track, though looked to struggle with some extra weight at Hamilton last time (6f, standard), though has also never looked particularly comfortable on turf. No problems with the trip and has to have a big chance again.

Form: 143614

Savannah Beau^p,h¹⁴⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: D Shaw| OR: 69| C| D

50/1

Course winner who was not disgraced over C&D last time and makes her first start for a new yard now, Headgear back on which is a minor plus, but on balance she is probably best watched.

Form: 6516-65

(2)

Kinloch Pride^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis⁽⁵⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 68| CD

7/1

May not have stayed the extra furlong when tried over 6f at York last time, when also having plenty of extra weight to contend with. Was progressing very quickly before that and could get back on track now.

Paradwys²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 74

13/2

Possibly put in a career best in her most recent of four maidens, makes her handicap debut now off what looks to be a fair mark. Seems to have plenty of speed so the drop in trip shouldn't be a problem, and she's an interesting contender.

Form: 0554-

(3)

Lady Cristal^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 71| C| D

8/1

Course winner over further but is equally effective back at this trip and has been running with merit recently. Has to prove she can overcome this weight but still should be feared.

Form: 362417

(5)

Rose Eclair²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

12/1

Went through a great run of form last year but hasn't seemed anything like as effective so far this year and is difficult to fancy despite a rapidly sinking handicap mark.

Form: 37-4746

Forecasts

Intense Romance (5/2), Fruit Salad (10/3), Paradwys (13/2), Kinloch Pride (7/1), Lady Cristal (8/1), Reedanjas (10/1), Rose Eclair (12/1), Krystallite (25/1), Savannah Beau (50/1)

KINLOCH PRIDE looked immensely progressive prior to a failed experiment in stepping her up in trip at York last time, when she also had yet further extra weight to carry following a series of impressive displays. However, dropped back down to the minimum trip she can surely continue her progression as she looks far from short on speed to say the least and may strike again here. Fruit Salad, meanwhile, has had excuses for some her poor runs recently and began to pick up around this time last year, while Intense Romance clearly has a strong liking for this track and should be involved once again.
