Jan De Heem^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 59| D

8/1

Everything fell right for him last time but he remains a difficult horse to catch right and cost in-running punters a fortune at Redcar in July. Goes well for this rider and handicapper has not punished him too harshly.

Tonto's Spirit^h⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁵⁾| T: Kenneth Slack| OR: 59

11/4

Back up to a more suitable trip but handicap mark remains demanding. Should give it a good go from the front but others are more persuasive.

Form: 113398

Inspector Norse^b1¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

9/1

Knocking at the door lately. This trip and first time blinkers may be the answer but the handicapper has raised his mark 5lb for his latest effort.

Form: 687422

Our Cilla^b³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Milly Naseb⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 59| D

7/2

Comfortable winner of two turf races at Lingfield under this rider and obviously has the balance to handle this track. Quicker ground is a question mark.

Missy Wells^h1¹¹⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 52

50/1

Off the track three years and hooded on return. It will be a tremendous training feat if she is ready to win this.

Aneedh^p¹⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: C A Mulhall| OR: 50

40/1

Has gone three years without a win. Neither effort this term have suggested he is about to end the drought.

Form: 5050-36

Adrakhan¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 49| D

9/1

Well placed to land a couple of weak races this summer. Effective from 1m6f-2m so this slightly shorter trip is a worry, but highly rated young rider is on board.

Form: 164103

Fillydelphia¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: P Holmes| OR: 48| C

40/1

Stable are just 2-130 this year. Easy to find pieces of form on the CV that would give her a chance off this mark, but she is a risk at present.

Good Man^p¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: Karen McLintock| OR: 47

8/1

Well beaten on all starts, including his latest at Musselburgh when beaten the best part of 15L. There was support that day and better ground may help here.

Form: 0563

Allfredandnobell¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 46

14/1

Produced a much better run here last time and this shorter trip looks set to help too. Yet to win on the Flat and a few of these look in better form.

Pennerley²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Lauren Steade⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 46

100/1

Has shown little to suggest she is ready to step forward and give her young rider a first success.

Form: 668667

Red Star Dancer⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 49

8/1

Has improved recently since joining this yard. Noted staying on from an unpromising position on bad ground last week and he has to be considered off 2lb lower.

Tonto's Spirit (11/4), Our Cilla (7/2), Jan De Heem (8/1), Red Star Dancer (8/1), Good Man (8/1), Inspector Norse (9/1), Adrakhan (9/1), Allfredandnobell (14/1), Ghostly Arc (20/1), Dream Serenade (33/1), Aneedh (40/1), Fillydelphia (40/1), Missy Wells (50/1), Pennerley (100/1)

In her current mood OUR CILLA is hard to oppose under a rider who knows her well. Inspector Morse has been upped 5lb for his latest effort but he has form of much higher marks and the fitting of blinkers may be a wise move. Red Star Dancer was an eyecatching third last week, whilst Adrakhan should appreciate the pace that seems likely here. Jan De Heem is not unduly punished for his Redcar victory but he has a lot to do under topweight against other rivals at the top of their game.
