9/4

In good form in recent starts following up a couple of wins with a third over C&D on good-to-firm ground a month ago. One to note off a mark 4lb higher than for her latest success.

Golden Steps⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: George Downing| T: J S Goldie| OR: 82

11/4

Finished a close third on good-to-firm ground over C&D on his penultimate outing. Refused to race subsequently however but of interest if putting that effort behind him.

Form: 64623R

Longroom¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 81| CD

5/1

Successful five times most recently at Ripon (5f, good) in June. Below that form at Catterick (5f, good-to-firm) last time out and worth a check in the market.

Form: 0-60146

5/2

Beaten a neck in a 6f contest at Thirsk (good-to-soft) in April. First start since when finishing 2L sixth over 6f here recently and has won twice over C&D in the past.

Form: 587-026

16/1

Victorious on good-to-soft ground at Thirsk (5f) last August. Well held on seasonal debut two months ago and more needed if she's to take this contest.

Forecasts

Oriental Lilly (9/4), My Name Is Rio (5/2), Elysian Flyer (5/2), Golden Steps (11/4), Longroom (5/1), Show Palace (12/1), Mable Lee (16/1), Intense Romance (25/1)

ORIENTAL LILLY has been running well of late and she can register a victory for Jim Goldie in this sprint handicap. Golden Steps can put a recent refusal behind him by filling the runner-up berth ahead of Intense Romance who is back down to her last winning mark and can finish third following a break.
