Successful over 5f at Pontefract (good) last month and a couple of respectable efforts since. One to note off a mark 5lb higher than for that success.

Maiden after 12 starts but finished close up on first two starts for this yard last month. Disappointed the last twice but represents a yard in decent form at present (4/21).

Three of her four wins have come at Beverley and although she's disappointed so far this season including at that track she races off a mark 7lb lower than for her latest success.

Twice a winner for Ralph Beckett as a two-year-old but well held in three starts for this stable in 2017 and races off a career low mark today.

Victorious at Bath (firm) two days ago and had finished third over C&D on good-to-firm ground prior to that. Interesting runner in this though has to shoulder a 6lb penalty for that Bath success.

Forecasts

Verdict

Trainer Roger Fell has been in good form of late and his MUATADEL can get off the mark at the 13th attempt in this opening sprint handicap. The selection was hampered on his penultimate outing but can take this off the same mark that saw him finish second on his seasonal debut last month. Archimedes, successful at Bath earlier this week can claim second under a penalty here while top weight Oriental Splendour can claim third in this contest.
  1. Muatadel
