Redarna²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 60| CD

6/1

Winner in this grade four starts back over C&D but not so good since. Outpaced over 6f last time and a return to this C&D will be a big plus. Player on a going day.

9/1

Finally off the mark at Carlisle two starts back but quick return and 6lb rise seemed to halt his effort back at the same venue a week later. Riders claim will help and no reason why he won't give it a good go.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: J C McConnell| OR: 56

3/1

Improving with each run and went very close to getting off the mark at Hamilton (1m½f, soft) last week. Races off the same mark here and drops back in trip. Must have sound claims of going very well again with further improvement to come.

Villa Maria^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: P Hanagan| T: A Murray| OR: 56

4/1

Continues to run very well and went close at Gowran Park ten days ago over 1m. Drops back in trip here and nudged up 3lb but should be more to come and will be a leading contender once more.

Magical Molly Joe³⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 52

25/1

Was runner-up in a 6f Newcastle (AW) maiden in February 2017, but has failed to go on from that. Handicapper beginning to give her a chance, and better signs when third over 1m here when last seen almost a year ago.

Strategic^b³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 53

28/1

Still a maiden after 12 attempts but this seems to be his best trip. Outpaced over 6f at Wolverhampton last time and isn't on a bad mark based on his best efforts.

Song Of Summer¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 53

12/1

Bought for 7,000 guineas back in October 2017 but hasn't shown a great deal since. Mark continues to tumble though and sure to bounce back at some stage. Market check essential.

Form: 378505

Se You^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52

10/1

Better effort last time when only headed late on having tried to make all. These conditions suit better as he loves to get his toe in the ground so any rain a bonus. Still on a good mark and dangerous.

Bee Machine^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: D Carroll| OR: 52| D

14/1

Winner off this mark at Southwell three starts back but not as good the last twice back on turf. Can be forgiven a poor run last time as he was pitched out wide. Needs to bounce back all the same.

Mostawfee^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: J Feane| OR: 50

8/1

A little unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton when not geting the clearest run through. Backed that up with a fine second of 12 at Ffos Las last time. Small rise in the weights negated by riders claim and should be in the mix.

Form: 100482

Palavicini Run¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 48| D

80/1

Not shown a great deal since joining this yard and despite the fact her mark continues to tumble, she was beaten a very long way here last time. Others have much stronger claims at this stage.

Borders Dream^v1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Kieran Schofield⁽⁷⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 48

66/1

Well held in two starts so far in handicaps and looks ordinary at best. Visor now added and still early days but others have far stronger claims.

Form: 9-58605

Harbour Patrol¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 46| D

22/1

Lurking on a dangerous mark and is always capable of throwing in a good effort from nowhere. Not beaten all that far at Musselburgh last time and another that would have a squeak if putting his best foot forward.

Forecasts

Jo Binney (3/1), Villa Maria (4/1), Redarna (6/1), Mostawfee (8/1), Monsieur Jimmy (9/1), Se You (10/1), Song Of Summer (12/1), Bee Machine (14/1), Harbour Patrol (22/1), Magical Molly Joe (25/1), Munthany (25/1), Strategic (28/1), Borders Dream (66/1), Palavicini Run (80/1)

A lot of out of form horses clash here and any result wouldn't be a surprise so we will take a chance that MUNTHANY can bounce back to form. He's been out of form for a while but is starting to look dangerously well handicapped and this is a weak race. Any market support for Song Of Summer would be significant, whilst Bee Machine should be capable of bouncing back.
