Kinloch Pride^p¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: N Wilson| OR: 62| CD

5/1

Musselburgh regular, dropping back to a handy mark and should strip fitter for her recent 3½L fifth to Super Julius (faded inside the final furlong); chance.

Form: 62060-5

(14)

Lexington Place¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 60| CD

7/1

Doesn't win too often nowadays but has the plum draw in stall 14 and was beaten by just a head on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (5f) latest; competes off a 1lb higher mark.

Form: 5734-52

(13)

Twentysvnthlancers¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 59| CD

5/1

Beat Our Place in Loule by a neck when winning this race 12 months ago (from a 5lb lower mark); reasonably productive on the AW at Southwell since February (2,1,3); well drawn; key player.

Form: 54-2136

(2)

Lord Of The Glen^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 58| D

22/1

Remains a maiden on turf (0-13) with a couple of recent low-key C&D efforts somewhat reminiscent of his below-par AW form during the winter months; easing in the weights accordingly.

Form: 875557

Mr Shelby^p⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: S Donohoe| OR: 55

11/1

Irish raider (1-13 on turf); can help to force the pace early, although will probably find the widest draw a difficult barrier to overcome.

Form: 20-8860

(4)

Angel Eyes³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Robbie Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 48

16/1

Front-runner; has knocked at the door in recent times without quite managing to break her maiden tag; headed close home by Everkyllachy at Newcastle (5f) in late March; 2lb higher.

Form: 056-552

(7)

Foxy Boy³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 48| D

12/1

Pacy; disappointing since scoring at Wolverhampton (5f Class 7) in January; feasibly handicapped but still likely to find others stronger.

Form: 0-91407

(10)

Kodimoor^v1¹⁵³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Shane Gray| T: M Walford| OR: 46| D

8/1

Tailed-off on his final start for Chris Kellett at Southwell (5f) in November 2018; off since; has fair previous form at this track (on soft); needs to be revived by the first-time visor and trainer switch.

Form: 447800-

Corton Lass²⁷⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 45

40/1

12-race maiden; absent since finishing fifth of 14 to Kibaar at Ayr (5f, good) in July 2018; surprising if she figures positively.

Form: 7/69685-

(12)

Bahlwan^t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Killian Leonard⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 45

9/2

Irish raider; nine-race maiden; 7lb lower than when last competing on turf at Navan (6f, yielding) in October 2018; well drawn; market a helpful guide.

Form: 06797-4

(9)

Intense Starlet^p,t²⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 45| D

28/1

Fairly useful on Tapeta (5f-6f) for Marjorie Fife once upon a time; lost her way in Ireland and back on these shores now in Malton; ran adequately on Fibresand at Southwell most latterly.

Form: 069-305

(11)

Pavlichenko^b,t³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: J Feane| OR: 45

8/1

Still searching for the back of the net (0-12); trainer has a solid strike-rate at Musselburgh (3-8; 38%), so worth a market check.

Form: 73976-6

(6)

Thornaby Princess^p²¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Philip Prince| T: J Ward| OR: 45| CD

20/1

Dual C&D winner in 2016 (good/good to firm); barren since; has left the care of Colin Teague since competing here in September 2018.

Bahlwan (9/2), Kinloch Pride (5/1), Twentysvnthlancers (5/1), Lexington Place (7/1), Pavlichenko (8/1), Kodimoor (8/1), Mr Shelby (11/1), Foxy Boy (12/1), Economic Crisis (14/1), Angel Eyes (16/1), Thornaby Princess (20/1), Lord Of The Glen (22/1), Intense Starlet (28/1), Corton Lass (40/1)

Winner of this race in 2018, the Paul Midgley-trained TWENTYSVNTHLANCERS breaks from a handy berth in stall 13 seeking a repeat. Consistent on the AW at Southwell in more recent times he's marginally higher in the weights this time around, but that's no barrier to further success. Of the remainder, the mares Kinloch Pride and Economic Crisis are almost certainly capable of bettering their recent efforts, with the former in particular becoming dangerously handicapped off an official rating of 62.
