Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 81| BF

13/8

Won on his debut at Redcar last year and has performed respectably in five subsequent handicaps off around this mark. First run since being gelded and it will be interesting to see what effect it has had.

Form: 13-5423

Duchess Of Fife^v²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Knight| OR: 66

7/1

Showed a willing attitude when rallying to win at Leicester last month. That was her first win and she is up 2lb and 2f in trip. Will not lack assistance from the saddle.

Forecasts

Pirate Look (13/8), Harbour Rock (2/1), Turnpike Trip (3/1), Red Royalist (6/1), Duchess Of Fife (7/1)

A tricky handicap in which a case can be made for all five contenders. Pirate Look runs for the first time since being gelded and his jockey booking suggests a bold run is expected. Turnpike Trip has to be respected after losing his maiden tag last time, but Red Royalist and Duchess Of Fife have stamina to prove, so the selection is HARBOUR ROCK, for whom trip and ground should be ideal.
