Raffle King¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Miss Emily Bullock⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 65

5/2

Maiden after 14 starts but generally consistent in four starts for new stable. Worth a try back at this trip and looks likely to go close down to this grade in a race lacking any depth.

Form: 23-2356

(8)

Assure¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Mrs Emily Roberts⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 58

7/1

Well held in three starts over further and now makes handicap debut. Racing style and pedigree don't suggest he will improve at sprint distances.

Form: 596

(9)

Tallulah's Quest^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr R Birkett| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57

13/8

Yet to win from 10 starts but has gone close on a number of occasions over further. First try at a sprinting trip but looks a leading contender in such a weak race with first time cheekpieces added.

Form: 0255-63

Andys Girl²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-6| J: Mr Matt Brown⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 57

16/1

Overcame a near year absence with a promising effort towards the end of last season before disappointing. Has run her best races after a break and possible she could be competitive on seasonal debut.

Form: 3725/44-

Dutch Coed²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Joanna Mason| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

18/1

Well beaten in all six starts including in four for current trainer. Hard to make a case for at present.

Form: 4460

Cliffmeena⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jamie Brace⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Hales| OR: 49

20/1

Took a step forward after considerable absence over 1m2f on AW but not sure this significant drop in trip will bring further improvement.

Form: 5968/5

Iconic Figure^p⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Mr Henry Newcombe⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 46

18/1

26 race maiden and although generally best form has come on AW ran well enough back on turf last time. More required but place possibilities.

Form: 236305

(7)

Excellent Addition²⁵⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁵⁾| T: L R James| OR: 45

150/1

Only two runs last year and one in 2016 after an absence since 2013 and failed to beat a horse home in any of the three starts.

Form: 7780/70-

Jessie Allan⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

8/1

40 race maiden who ran a better race after nearly unseating her rider on leaving the stalls at Ayr. Can be competitive but overall profile unconvincing.

Form: 278065

(6)

Jacksonfire^p³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss M Mullineaux| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

25/1

Still a maiden after 30 starts and nothing suggests that is about to change from out of the handicap.

Form: 07008-8

(2)

Kirkby's Phantom⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Midgley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 45

100/1

Well beaten in all 11 starts at huge odds and impossible to recommend from out of the handicap.

Form: 6804-08

Forecasts

Tallulah's Quest (13/8), Raffle King (5/2), Assure (7/1), Jessie Allan (8/1), Andys Girl (16/1), Dutch Coed (18/1), Iconic Figure (18/1), Cliffmeena (20/1), Jacksonfire (25/1), Kirkby's Phantom (100/1), Excellent Addition (150/1)

There's few in with an obvious chance on known form in a weak contest where six of the 11 runners race from out of the handicap. Tallulah's Quest is open to more improvement than most and continues to threaten to win a race of this nature. RAFFLE KING likewise has gone close to a breakthrough win and the drop in class could be enough for him to get that win over this trip. Andys Girl races best after a break and holds place chances.
