No Lippy⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 87

7/4

Looked an early season-type after her win in the Lily Agnes at Chester and appeared to have gone off the boil before bouncing back to form with a close second at Doncaster latest. Expect her to try and make all again here. Conditions fine.

Big Ace^p¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79

3/1

Speedy type that's having a good season, winning one at Hamilton and going close on a couple of other occasions, including last time out at York. However, all best form at 5f so far and might just be happier at the minimum trip.

9/2

Ran well when second at Pontefract in April (had Big Ace behind in fourth) so a little disappointing when a beaten favourite at Thirsk last time. However, looks to be crying out for a sixth furlong, so could easily improve today.

So Hi Storm¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-2| J: P Mathers| T: K R Burke| OR: 66

11/1

Hasn't shown a lot in three starts so far, and has looked short of pace. Opening mark looks plenty high enough as well, and it may be we won't see the best of him until getting more of a trip (half-brother Xtension was best over further).

Form: 847

Princess Power¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: N Tinkler| OR: 57

7/2

Sent off big prices first three starts and showed little, hence the surprise at her 20-1 shock success at Beverley last time out when going into nurseries. Could be she's simply clicked now, so if getting this 6f, every chance of following up here.

Form: 6561

Kyroc⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-0| J: Raul Da Silva| T: S Corbett| OR: 56

33/1

Has shown plenty of speed in her five starts so far but she's not really been seeing it out, and her Catterick third last time is only moderate form. Out of the handicap here and plenty on her plate to get involved.

Forecasts

No Lippy (7/4), Big Ace (3/1), Prince Elzaam (10/3), Princess Power (7/2), Bengali Spirit (9/2), So Hi Storm (11/1), Kyroc (33/1)

No shortage of pace on despite the small field, with both No Lippy, Kyroc and Big Ace likely to blaze away up front, and if PRINCESS POWER can hang on to their coat-tails she might be good enough to come through late and score. There appeared to be no fluke about her Beverley win last week and she just appears to have got the message now. This sixth furlong shouldn't pose a problem. Prince Elzaam will appreciate this drop back in trip and could be the main danger.
