Boundary Lane¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 70

6/4

Has run to a similar level of form in all three starts, scoring at Ayr (6f, good to firm) on debut and also going close under a penalty at Hamilton last time. Initial mark looks fair and she is entitled to consideration.

Form: 134

Sitar²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 64| D

4/1

Won twice over this trip at Nottingham on good to soft last season, the latter from 3lb higher than today. Has barely been able to approach that level of form since, largely on soft ground and that, plus these conditions, are a concern.

Form: 675-746

Dundunah^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64| CD

8/1

Scored over C&D (good to firm) last year, when 3lb higher and went very close next time, from a further 3lb higher. Has not yet got back to that level in three starts since wind surgery. Dangerous mark, but a bit to prove.

Form: 729-078

Teepee Time^b⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 63| CD

7/1

Has recorded half of her four wins here (on good/good to soft), including this race last year from 13lb lower. Scored on fast ground at Leicester last month, but well held last twice and with only 1lb drop, she looks up against it.

Form: 426166

Campion⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mathers| T: P A Kirby| OR: 64| D

25/1

Sole win was over this trip at Bath (firm) last year, in a novice event, for Richard Hannon. Well held in all handicap runs, both for him and this trainer. Beginning to look more feasibly handicapped now, so any support would make her interesting.

Form: 7055-90

(6)

Toni's A Star¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 52| CD

7/2

Won over C&D (good to soft) in 2015, when 7lb higher. Tends to go well with some cut in the ground, though career-best was on good to firm. Recent efforts give her something to find, despite apparently being well treated.

Form: 23-6455

(7)

Celerity^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

50/1

0-43. Best turf efforts when there has been some cut underfoot, though does act on good to firm. 6lb out of the handicap here and readily opposed.

Form: 605448

(5)

Lambrini Legacy^p1,h¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Joey Haynes| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

33/1

0-14. 5f and fast ground are probably her optimum race conditions, but she is also 6lb out of the handicap and the new headgear combination needs to work very well to see her involved.

Form: 7-74680

Forecasts

Boundary Lane (6/4), Toni's A Star (7/2), Flying Foxy (7/2), Sitar (4/1), Broadhaven Honey (4/1), Teepee Time (7/1), Dundunah (8/1), Campion (25/1), Lambrini Legacy (33/1), Celerity (50/1), Go Sandy (66/1)

A modest way to bring the curtain down on the evening and it could be worth chancing BOUNDARY LANE on her handicap debut. She has proved to be consistent so far and this mark looks very fair, so it could be a good opening for her. Flying Foxy enters calculations, along with Broadhaven Honey, while Dundunah is on a handy mark and a revival would not be a major shock. Last year's winner Teepee Time is not written off, but she will do well to repeat that success from 13lb higher. Check the market for any confidence in Campion.
