Form: 56PP-45

Slaney Craiglegacy^h¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: H Burns| OR: 86| C

8/1

Broke her maiden in winning by 3L over 2m2f on good-to-firm ground here last time out. Has to defy a 9lb rise in the weights if she's to follow up.

Form: 9-09741

Espoir Moriviere¹⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Craig Nichol| T: R Dobbin| OR: 85

25/1

Signs of promise in three starts in maiden/novice company so far. Represents a shrewd yard and market support would be interesting on handicap debut.

7/1

Eight race maiden and beaten 16L into sixth in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth (good) in May. Market support would be notable following a break.

14/1

22/1

Shock 50/1 winner of a handicap hurdle at Perth (2m4f, good) in May on her first start since wind surgery. Pulled up over 3m there subsequently and should be suited by this drop in distance racing from out of the handicap..

Form: P/63P-1P

Perseid³⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Quinlan| T: B Butterworth| OR: 77

13/2

Forecasts

Jack Lamb (9/2), Boogie Life (9/2), Green Zone (5/1), Perseid (13/2), Permission Granted (7/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (8/1), Tir Dubh (14/1), Johnny Pedlar (22/1), Rory's Valentine (22/1), Samtu (25/1), Espoir Moriviere (25/1), Sense Of Urgency (33/1), Little Stevie (33/1), Cully Mac (33/1)

GREEN ZONE came good when winning at Perth last time out and he can follow-up that victory in this competitive handicap hurdle contest. The selection is taken to get the better of Jack Lamb who is another to have won last time out while third place can go to Boogie Life who drops in trip and represents a top stable.
