Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 59

9/1

Held in three starts since finishing a close fourth at Lingfield (5f, soft) a month ago. Two of those efforts were in sellers and more needed to take this.

Lady Lintera^h1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S A Gray| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 57

22/1

Ran well when finishing fourth of 11 on soft ground over 5f here last month but disappointing since and would probably prefer the ground softer than is forecast today.

(9)

Silverlight¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| BF

8/1

Both starts so far have come in similar races to this including when 2L second at Thirsk (good-to-soft) on debut earlier this month. Slightly disappointing subsequently but one to note here.

Form: 24

Forecasts

Felisa (9/4), Flo's Melody (11/4), Plansina (6/1), Silverlight (8/1), Jean Paget (9/1), Sam James (9/1), Lady Lintera (22/1), Jaimie's Joy (25/1), Racing Radio (33/1), Changing (33/1)

FLO'S MELODY was victorious on her most recent outing in this company and can follow up on her return to turf today. The selection had today's rival Felisa back in fourth on that occasion and can confirm that form with David Evans filly in this contest. Of the remainder Silverlight has run well in two starts in similar races to this and can claim third on this occasion.
