Haveoneyerself²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 65| D

8/1

Last behind Swift Fox is a five runner affair at Lingfield last time. Obviously needs to improve on that form, and is rated 5lb higher on turf.

Form: 607-675

Marietta Robusti¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 65| D

9/2

Not at her best at Newcastle last time but won a Chelmsford novice event in March and should be able to operate off this mark on the basis of that form.

Form: 563127

Give Em A Clump^b1⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 61

4/1

Has shown ability in the past but all his best form over further than this, and is fitted with blinkers having had a gelding operation.

Form: 6209-53

(7)

Mother of Dragons¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 61

3/1

Hasn't been able to build on the early season promise she hinted at last year and is still yet to win in 18 starts, but has been running well enough to suggest that she should be able to challenge for a place once again here.

Form: 433443

Billy Booth^t1²⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 59

8/1

Three low-key runs in maiden/novice company last summer, and doubtful he can get off the mark here having beaten just one home in each of those three races.

Form: 050-

Orient Princess²¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: P T Midgley| OR: 47

16/1

Form in novice/maiden form was nothing special, and if anything she was even weaker on handicap debut at Musselburgh last time. Down 3lb here but scarcely seems a winner in waiting here.

Form: 8660-

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 20p in the pound

Forecasts

Maygold (2/1), Mother of Dragons (3/1), Give Em A Clump (4/1), Marietta Robusti (9/2), G Eye Joe (5/1), Billy Booth (8/1), Haveoneyerself (8/1), Orient Princess (16/1)

Mother Of Dragons is yet to get off the mark but has placed in a number of races and could do so again here, while G Eye Joe would be a danger to all if dealing with this trip. Preference, though, is for MAYGOLD. Ed Walker's charge won a competitive affair at Lingfield last time out and should be able to remain on the premises having gone up just 3lb.
