It's Never Enough¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: P J McDonald| T: J Ewart| OR: 71

Gabrial The Tiger¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69| CD

6/1

Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts this term. Signs of a return to form when beaten 3L last time out however and is worth a check in the market on this occasion.

Form: 13-0887

Smugglers Creek^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 67| D

9/2

Victorious over 7f at Ayr (good-to-firm) on his penultimate outing. Return to this trip should suit having finished fourth over 1m at the same venue subsequently.

Donnelly's Rainbow⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 62| D

7/1

Placed over C&D on good-to-firm going in May and put a disappointing effort behind him when fourth to Jacob Black here last month. Work to do if he's to reverse that form.

Form: 3-00304

Picks Pinta^b¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 46

40/1

Held in the main this season including when finishing fifth at Carlisle (6f, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Others hold stronger claims.

Forecasts

Jacob Black (5/6), Smugglers Creek (9/2), Gabrial The Tiger (6/1), Donnelly's Rainbow (7/1), It's Never Enough (10/1), Picks Pinta (40/1)

JACOB BLACK can continue his good run of form by taking this 7f contest. The selection has proven he's liking for this venue and can get the better of his rivals here with Gabrial The Tiger capable of building on his latest effort to claim second ahead of It's Never Enough who is making just his second handicap appearance.
