7/2

Narrowly beaten over this trip at Ayr (good-to-firm) last month and put in a decent effort when fourth at Hamilton (5f, good-to-firm) subsequently. Likely to run his race once more.

Put a couple of disappointing efforts behind him when finishing third at Beverley (5f, good-to-firm) last week. One to note racing off the same mark in this contest.

Raise A Billion¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 45| D

50/1

Struggled in six starts since joining this yard and handicap mark is falling as a result. Probably best watched at present however.

Griffin Street⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 45

33/1

Maiden after six starts and finished well beaten when las of six over 5f at Pontefract (good-to-firm) last time out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0780-06

Angel Eyes²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: J Riches| OR: 45

33/1

Struggled in three starts in novice contests and it was a similar story on handicap debut over C&D on good-to-firm ground earlier this month. Likely to struggle.

Forecasts

Nora Batt (6/4), Pavers Pride (7/2), Imperial Legend (7/2), Andys Girl (6/1), Thornaby Princess (9/1), Griffin Street (20/1), Your Just Desserts (33/1), Angel Eyes (33/1), Raise A Billion (50/1)

NORA BATT ran well in a competitive contest last time out and she can register her third victory in the final race on the card. Imperial Legend returned to form with a placed effort at Beverley last time and he can finish runner-up ahead of top weight Pavers Pride who was narrowly beaten on his most recent appearance.
