Successful nine times so far and ran well to finish fifth behind a subsequent winner over C&D in December. Likely more needed today however.

Victorious twice so far including over C&D last month. Good effort when third off this 8lb higher mark subsequently and he is a leading contender in this contest.

Placed on both starts since winning over 1m here backin February. Races off a mark 4lb higher than for his latest success and this drop in trip is not certain to suit.

Made a winning debut for this stable when scoring over 6f last time out. Has won over this distance in the past but has to defy a 6lb rise for his latest success if he's to follow up today.

Forecasts

Ambassadorial (5/2), Togoville (5/1), Arbourfield (6/1), Turbine (13/2), Mr Ormsby (7/1), Tonkinese (7/1), Have A Nice Day (10/1), Reckless Lad (12/1), Cascavelle (12/1), Geological (12/1), Atlas (14/1), Silk Cravat (16/1), Annie Fior (66/1)

Verdict

MR ORMSBY has run well on both starts this year and he can register his second victory over today's C&D by taking this 7f handicap. Sheila Lavery's charge has a leading jockey booked to ride today and he can get the better of top weight and handicap debutant Ambassadorial who is the least experienced runner in today's field. Togoville, a winner last time out and another who has been in good form this year can finish third on this occasion.
  1. Mr Ormsby
  2. Ambassadorial
  3. Togoville
