Rickyroadboy⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 65| CD

4/1

In cracking form and the first of his three wins this spring was over C&D (soft) in April. 6lb penalty for his latest Redcar success puts him 20lb higher than that win here, but he still had a bit in hand last time and can again go well.

Form: 413121

Laubali¹⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70

22/1

Ran well on both starts since joining this trainer, during the winter. Gelded since then and returns from 1lb higher for just his second handicap start. Market should prove informative.

Mr Wagyu^v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 70| CD

17/2

Dual distance winner both here and at York (on good) last season, the latter from 3lb higher. Not been in the same form since, but last time's 2½L third at Redcar was a step back in the right direction. Now visored and not ruled out.

Form: 160-703

Zahraa^h1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 70

33/1

Showed improved form on stable debut/reappearance when scoring at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April. Well held on both starts since and hood needs to have a very positive effect on that evidence.

Form: 453-150

Indian Warrior^b1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Fanning| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70

13/2

0-10 so far but has a few pieces of form that would put him in the mix in this field, if able to repeat them. However, others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 3035-55

Milton Road^t1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 69| D

17/2

Won four times over 5f/6f last year, including from this mark at Nottingham and from 3lb higher on AW. Has not been too far off that level a couple of times this season. Tongue-strap and drop back in trip could both help. Not ruled out.

Form: 55-4435

Priscilla's Dream⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S Donohoe| T: P J McBride| OR: 68| BF

4/1

Still improving if her head second at Leicester (6f, good) last week is anything to go by. Settled better there and if she can do the same again then she has claims from a decent draw.

Form: 430-42

(7)

Daffy Jane⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 66

16/1

Made steady improvement last year, culminating in a win at Musselburgh in September (5f, good) from 5lb lower. 6lb better off here with Rickyroadboy for a 3½L defeat by him at Redcar last time, so with 3lb claimed she could be very competitive.

Form: 631-673

(12)

Tember⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: T D Barron| OR: 63

13/2

Ran well this time last year and was back in better form at Nottingham two starts ago. Well held behind Rickyroadboy at Redcar last week, however, but better effort possible with champion on board.

Form: 308-929

(5)

Mutabaahy^h⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 62| D

6/1

Scored over this trip at Wolverhampton (AW) from 4lb lower in March and went close from 2lb higher than today at Newcastle (5f, AW) next time. Matched that when a neck second at Redcar last week. Enters calculations.

Forecasts

Rickyroadboy (4/1), Priscilla's Dream (4/1), Mutabaahy (6/1), Indian Warrior (13/2), Tember (13/2), Mr Wagyu (17/2), Milton Road (17/2), Daffy Jane (16/1), Gullane One (16/1), Se You (20/1), Laubali (22/1), Zahraa (33/1)

Plenty of cases can be made in an open sprint and the suggestion is SE YOU, who should appreciate the return to this trip and has dropped to a mark that he looks capable of handling. Priscilla's Dream is feared after a very good effort at Leicester last week, with the in-form Rickyroadboy an obvious contender again and Mutabaahy, Daffy Jane, Mr Wagyu and Milton Road others of interest.
