Go Annie Go²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 58| D

15/8

Has been running well in these contests, winning one over this trip at Thirsk last time (good to firm). Should again be thereabouts.

Form: 73421

Alhebaba^p,t²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

20/1

Today's headgear combination was being sported for the first-time when he put up his best effort so far, albeit it 6¼L behind Go Annie Go in a Thirsk seller last time. Can improve again, but clearly has a fair bit to find.

Form: 055

(2)

The Fluter^t⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 51

66/1

Improved effort when back up to 6f in a Ripon seller last time (beaten 3¼L) and not truly competitive. Was 7L behing Go Annie Go at Thirsk last month (7f) and tries that trip again here. Should reduce the gap.

Form: 056576

Are You Locking Up⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Barry McHugh| T: T Coyle & K Wood

33/1

50-1 and last of seven, beaten 12L on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm). Longer trip, plus that experience, should help, but needs a fair bit of improvement.

Form: 7

(7)

Bandola¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: M Dods| OR: 61

11/4

Beaten 8L by Kuwait Station (runs in 2.10) at Ripon last month. Not a bad effort here over 6f on handicap debut recently, when 4L fifth. Extra furlong plus 2lb drop should help. Claims.

Form: 6545

(1)

Liberty Diva²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: M D I Usher

10/1

Has 3¼L to find with Go Annie Go from their running at Thirsk and is 1lb worse off with her at these weights. Improvement possible, after just two runs. Respected.

Form: 04

(4)

Smashing Lass⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Shane Gray| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 60

9/4

Has run well in a couple of sellers, including when 2L third at Ripon (had The Fluter 1¼L behind) last time. If she can find a bit more improvement, she has claims.

Form: 6693

Forecasts

Go Annie Go (15/8), Smashing Lass (9/4), Bandola (11/4), Liberty Diva (10/1), Alhebaba (20/1), Are You Locking Up (33/1), The Fluter (66/1)

BANDOLA went reasonably well on her recent handicap debut at this venue and she is the suggestion now that she is stepped up to 7f. Go Annie Go should be involved again, while Smashing Lass and Liberty Diva can also have cases made for them.
