Souls In The Wind³¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: R J Osborne| OR: 71| CD

33/1

Won twice here last year in the same colours but for a different yard. Not seen since scoring over C&D off a much reduced mark in very different conditions (heavy) but hardly the most reliable and likely to need this outing.

Form: 018501-

Straightothepoint^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 67| CD

11/2

C&D winner but despite having had some chances of late to break a long losing run has failed to take them despite being favourably handicapped. Again ran with credit last time but will need other to falter to get back to winning ways.

Form: 6-03263

Broken Wings²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Makin| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 70

10/1

Didn't run badly on her handicap debut on the AW (1m) looking as though a try over shorter trips would be suitable. Duly dropped in trip but her attitude appeared to get the better of her and now has questions to answer even after her last run.

Form: 24-3594

Epeius¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: B Haslam| OR: 65| CD

7/1

Had given notice that he might be coming to the boil on his penultimate outing despite reportedly having bled when 3rd over C&D. Backed that up in an amateur riders contest last time under a good ride to get up late on also over C&D; up 2lb here.

Form: 376-631

Bibbidibobbidiboo¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 67| D

11/4

A drop in grade (into a seller; 6f) appeared to spark a revival and she duly followed up returned to a handicap over 7f off 7lb lower. Has run with credit on her last two starts off this mark although a win off it may prove beyond her.

Form: 3-91123

Sosian^v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

16/1

Back from a break for two handicap outings this season at up to 7f but hasn't really shown much and hopes now pinned on a first-time visor. Looks to be one of the lesser lights in the stable and others appeal more.

Form: 2247-67

Gullane One^t⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

2/1

Looks a different individual since fitted with a tongue-tie and successful under this rider at Doncaster over 6f. Not easily beaten next time out either at Carlisle off a 4lb higher mark and left on that same mark is of obvious interest here.

Form: 37-8412

(2)

Melaniemillie¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 53| D

14/1

Hinted (and no more) at a return to form in her last two starts and does now look well handicapped; just 1lb above her last winning mark. Should go well here but meets one or two who are in better form; minor place looks to be the best she can do.

Yes You²⁹

Weight: 9-9| Age: 4

T: I Jardine J: Jamie Gormley

Forecasts

Gullane One (2/1), Bibbidibobbidiboo (11/4), Yes You (5/1), Straightothepoint (11/2), Epeius (7/1), Broken Wings (10/1), Melaniemillie (14/1), Sosian (16/1), Souls In The Wind (33/1)

Quite a competitive handicap for a 0-70 and a few of these look to have a chance here led by the very in-form GULLANE ONE who since being fitted with a tongue-tie has really found himself. He also has the advantage of being ridden by Rachel Richardson who lost her claim a few days ago but can still gain a 3lb advantage during her grace period. Yes You was in good form last year and appears to be working her way back to that sort of form and looks the main danger in this. Epeius received a good ride last time to win over C&D but this is a touch more competitive while Straighttothepoint has had better chances than this to win of late and not taken them.
