Consistent individual and ran well when third at Redcar (6f, good-to-soft) on his first outing since being gelded last time out. Interesting runner on handicap debut.

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Rowan Scott⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 66

14/1

Signs of ability over 5f here last month but disappointed over the same C&D subsequently. Worth a check in the market on her first start in handicaps.

Auntie Pam^p¹⁷

Maiden after seven starts and finished fourth in handicap company the last twice. Races off a mark 3lb lower than when contesting a 6f nursery at Leicester (soft) last time but vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

Mabo¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

9/1

Well beaten in all five starts so far including in handicaps the last twice. Steadily coming down the weights but others make more appeal here.

Forecasts

Byron's Choice (11/4), Havana Star (7/2), She's Different (5/1), Kirbec (5/1), Villa Tora (7/1), Auntie Pam (8/1), Mabo (9/1), Corton Lass (14/1), Lord Of The Glen (22/1)

Beverley winner HAVANA STAR ran well when finishing third last time out and Kevin Ryan's charge can make a winning handicap debut in this. The selection hails from a stable with a 27% strike-rate (3/11) in nurseries here in recent seasons and he can see off Kirbec who drops back in trip having run well over 7f last time out. Byron's Choice, a disappointment on the AW last time can take third on his handicap debut.
