Nine time winner in the past including seven times here (five over this distance). Best effort this term came on debut for this stable when runner-up on good ground here in May and she races off a mark 5lb lower than for her most recent success.

7/1

Solid effort when third of eight on good-to-soft ground over C&D on his penultimate outing. Well held at Pontefract subsequently however and likely more is needed here.

4/1

Successful five times in the past most recently on yielding-to-soft ground over 5f at Navan last October. Disappointing in two starts since finishing third at Beverley (good-to-soft) last month but interesting if putting those behind him.

7/2

Victorious over 5f at Ayr (good-to-soft) in a seven runner contest last time out. Races off a mark 4lb higher than for that success and remains of interest having won off a 5lb higher mark in the past.

Forecasts

Hamidans Girl (5/2), Star Cracker (7/2), One Boy (4/1), Camanche Grey (11/2), Compton River (7/1), Economic Crisis (15/2)

STAR CRACKER can follow up his Ayr success of last week by taking this six runner sprint handicap under a penalty. The selection remains well handicapped on his old form and is taken to register his fourth career success today. Camanche Grey has run well in two starts since winning here last month and can take second today ahead of Economic Crisis who carries top weight here and drops in grade today.
