Off time: 16:10 | Winning time: 6m 7.2s

Pinch Of Ginger³¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Henry Brooke| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 99| D

11/2

Returns after 317-day break and would ideally prefer softer ground than forecast. Any rain will help his cause but this is not a strong heat and any market confidence would be worthy of note.

Form: F15444-

Flying Jack^t¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Dale Irving⁽³⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 88

7/2

0-9 over fences but won over hurdles last season at Hexham. Hasn't been in best of form of late and yet to prove conclusively he stays this trip so may find a few too good once again.

Form: 4F-F633

Shaiyzar^p¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Dowson⁽³⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 87| D

7/2

Finally got his head in front over fences at the 28th time of asking when winning last time at Sedgefield. Up 5lb but clearly in good heart so should make a bold show at a course hwere he has run with credit in the past.

Form: 734221

Mrs Vonn³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Coltherd| OR: 86

16/1

Seven-race maiden who steps up in trip having looked a little slow so far despite trying hard. Eased 1lb and not out of it if longer distance prompts an improvement.

Form: 677924

Devito'sgoldengirl^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: S Mulqueen⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 81| D

22/1

Won mares point-to-point in Irleand in 2017 but has cut little ice under Rules so far being wel beaten for current yard despie falling mark. Hard to see her troubling the judge on that evidence.

Form: P8-P706

Veauce De Sivola^t¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 10-4| J: Rachel McDonald⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 77| D

5/2

Thorough stayer whose only win in 26 chases came over 3m in heavy ground at Lingfield last year. Closely handicapped on recent good second to Shaiyzar and chance would increase if forecast rain arrives.

Form: 96-8942

Scorpo^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: B S Hughes| T: V Thompson| OR: 71

8/1

Very modest maiden chaser who is 0-19 so far in his career under Rules. Has run a few fair races off low weights during his time but always seems to find a few too good. Runs from 2lb out of the handicap.

Form: 344335

Forecasts

Veauce De Sivola (5/2), Shaiyzar (7/2), Flying Jack (7/2), Pinch Of Ginger (11/2), Scorpo (8/1), Mrs Vonn (16/1), Devito'sgoldengirl (22/1)

SHAIYZAR finally came good last time and in the hope that the penny has indeed dropped he is taken to follow up off this higher mark in a modest event. Pinch Of Ginger is still unexposed but has a long absence to overcome. A bold show cannot be ruled out however, while Veauce De Sivola has a squeak, especially if the ground eases. The maiden Mrs Vonn might do better trying this longer trip and isn't totally out of the reckoning either.
