My Girl Maisie²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-2| J: Mr Simon Walker| T: R C Guest| OR: 63| D

9/4

Justified favouritism in a 7f handicap at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Has to defy a 3lb rise for that success but has leading amateur jockey Simon Walker in the saddle today.

12/1

Held in three outings since finishing runner-up over 7f at Chepstow (good-to-soft) early last month. Races off a 1lb lower mark today but more needed if he's to take this contest.

Forecasts

My Girl Maisie (9/4), True Companion (7/2), Arcanista (8/1), Harry Beau (9/1), Champagne Bob (12/1), Wordismybond (12/1), Baron Run (14/1), Edge (14/1), Gatillo (16/1), Baltic Prince (25/1), Sailors Warn (50/1), No Refund (50/1), Captain Kendall (100/1)

The booking of SImon Walker catches the eye on last time out winner MY GIRL MAISIE and she is taken to come out on top in the concluding amateur riders handicap. The selection was a winner over this trip last time out and can see off her rivals today with Irish raider True Companion taken to claim second following some good efforts in competitive handicaps in recent starts. Arcanista came out a clear cut winner under today's rider last time out and can finish third on this occasion.
