King Of Castilla⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 41

150/1

Shown no worthwhile form since August 2016 (when with Gay Kelleway). Well beaten on his return to action from a lengthy break at Hamilton last week (5f); no chance at these weights.

Form: 9/0770-0

Duba Plains^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon| OR: 60

2/1

Looks capable of winning a small race somewhere (0 from 9), and appeared to adapt well enough to the switch to racing on turf at Bath earlier this month (5½f). Might ideally require a longer trip.

Form: 562037

Bibbidibobbidiboo²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 59

5/2

Entitled to have needed her seasonal return at Thirsk in April (6f), and that form was loosely boosted with the fourth placed horse Eeh Bah Gum winning earlier this week. Possibilities on her previous AW effort, but needs to improve a fraction.

Form: 44473-9

Calvin's Gal^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Danny Brock| T: J Ryan| OR: 40

50/1

Showed little for previous trainer Luke McJannet, and no stronger since switched to the care of John Ryan. Very lowly rated, so requires the first time visor to have a transformational impact.

Form: 006-70

Ce De Nullis⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: L Morris| T: P T Midgley| OR: 60| BF

4/1

Now a ten race maiden and was a beaten favourite in a similar race at Beverley recently (5f good to firm). Nevertheless, is very much respected in this grade based on her previous effort at Bath (5½f). Solid contender.

Form: 200-834

Sienna Says^p⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 62

10/3

Beaten 1L by Moonlit Sands in a 5f Beverley seller earlier this month (Ce De Nullis fourth) and not disgraced in a stronger race at Ripon since. However, her prominent style of racing tends to make her vulnerable at the finish; hence a 0/14 record.

Weight: 9-9| Age: 4

T: P D Evans J: Non Runner

Forecasts

Letmestopyouthere (11/8), Duba Plains (2/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (5/2), Sienna Says (10/3), Ce De Nullis (4/1), Calvin's Gal (50/1), King Of Castilla (150/1)

Not a race which the majority of punters will attack with any great gusto, but despite the small field, plenty can be safely dismissed. Letmestopyouthere is consistent without being a regular winner, hence the drop into selling company whilst a case of sorts could be made for the impossibly named Bibbidibobbidiboo. However, despite being a beaten favourite in this grade at Beverley latest (and finishing behind today's rival Sienna Says) CE DE NULLIS remains fairly unexposed for Paul Midgley and should go close to breaking her duck at the eleventh attempt.
