Rose Marmara^p,t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-4| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: B Rothwell| OR: 70| D

16/1

Right back to form on last two starts, running Midnight Malibu close before a gutsy win at Catterick last time, when stepped back up to 6f. Gets a penalty for that but in cracking form and no reason not to go close.

Form: 200521

Nuns Walk¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Robert Dodsworth⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| D

5/1

The very model of consistency, simply doesn't know how to run a bad race and gained her reward at Newcastle two starts back. Went very close here on her debut, so track no issue, and goes on all ground. Every chance here.

Roys Dream^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: C J McGovern⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Collins| OR: 68| D

11/2

Another that's found her stride recently, had been knocking on the door for some time before coming good at Carlisle last time out. Slight concern his track may not play to her strengths, but not discounted.

Form: 9-62521

Melonade²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: T D Barron| OR: 65| D

25/1

Looked useful when winning her first two starts but has gone backwards in recent efforts and was beaten off fairly easily at Newcastle last time out. Conditions fine but best watched until showing a bit more.

Form: 10-4708

(12)

Boundary Lane⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 70| BF| D

5/2

Just had the four starts and has already shown plenty of ability, winning over 6f on debut at Ayr and going close at Haydock last time (5f). Will enjoy going back up to 6f and quick ground no issue, so has to be given close consideration.

Form: 1342

Maureb^p⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob J Fitzpatrick⁽⁵⁾| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 64| D

25/1

Five wins from 47 starts tells you she's not the most consistent, but she's capable when it all falls right. Back on her last winning mark and has gone close here on quick ground (at 5f) so has her plus points, and isn't discounted.

Form: 478337

Kodicat^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 62

16/1

Finished off last year looking like it was a matter of time before she won another but this year has seen her go backwards and she never got near the leaders at Carlisle last time. May find things happening a bit quickly here.

Form: 237-456

(14)

Bow Belles^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

14/1

Winner on second start at Ripon last year but that was on soft ground, and her other better efforts come with cut as well. Second at Catterick last time but beaten 7l, and needs to find a lot more.

Form: 32-0652

(3)

Kingstreet Lady^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60| D

25/1

In good form and present and running with some consistency, and although all her form is at 5f she's worth a try at this extra furlong as she has been sticking on late in her races. Likes quick ground and has her chance.

Form: 122424

(5)

Miss Dd^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: I Jardine| OR: 65| D

12/1

One win in 13 starts, that coming at Pontefract on her second start, and isn't running badly at present having been beaten less than a length at Catterick on latest start. Drops back a furlong, which won't inconvenience, and another to consider.

Form: 236534

(4)

Queen Of Kalahari^t1³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J L Eyre| OR: 62| D

14/1

Would look a good thing off this mark based on her second at Kempton last October but it's been a tale of woe this year, finishing well beaten on last two starts. Hopes pinned on a first time tongue tie turning it around.

Form: 2-45574

(11)

Our Little Pony²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 62

9/1

Fallen a long way in the handicap and has taken advantage of that last two starts, getting up late in the day to score at Beverley (5f last time). Only 3lb higher here, 6f no issue and should get this run to suit. Solid chance.

Form: 0-44521

(13)

Santafiora²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Barry McHugh| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 52| D

17/2

Wasn't going anywhere until finding some form to finish second to Burtonwood over this C&D, and handicapper is kind on leaving her on the same mark here. Looks ready to strike now and is well treated on old form. Has to be considered.

Forecasts

Boundary Lane (5/2), Nuns Walk (5/1), Roys Dream (11/2), Broken Wings (8/1), Santafiora (17/2), Our Little Pony (9/1), Miss Dd (12/1), Queen Of Kalahari (14/1), Bow Belles (14/1), Kodicat (16/1), Rose Marmara (16/1), Maureb (25/1), Kingstreet Lady (25/1), Melonade (25/1), Porrima (25/1)

It's possible Roy's Dream might get her own way up front here and she'd be a big danger if she did, but down the bottom of the handicap SANTAFLORA is on too good a mark to be left alone today. She appears to be coming right back to form and is drawn well, so gets the vote in an open race. Boundary Lane has more to come and looks a likely danger, along with Rose Marmara, the ever-consistent Nuns Walk and Our Little Pony.
