Boss Des Mottes^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁷⁾| T: H Hogarth| OR: 100| D

33/1

Just 2lb higher than when winning at Market Rasen in August, and similar form when runner-up over C&D next time. Below form since, however, and ran badly at Wetherby last time.

Form: 81284P-

Muwalla^t⁵³⁰

Age: 12| Weight: 11-11| J: Callum Bewley| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 99| CD

50/1

Runner-up off current mark at Musselburgh in November 2017, but has been off the track since the end of that month, and hard to see this veteran being ready to win after such an absence.

Form: 557223/

Jokers And Rogues^p1³⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 98| CD

12/1

Front-runner who scored over C&D in January off 7lb lower. Not disgraced in three starts since, but handicapper looks in charge for the time being. Tried in cheekpieces now.

Form: 4/31533-

Istimraar^p,t²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 82| C| D

2/7

Well placed to win both starts at Plumpton for current yard after a lengthy absence, reverted to hurdles last time. Returns to fences with some mileage left in his mark, and the hat-trick beckons.

Form: 7509/1-1

Louloumills^t²⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 10-6| J: D B Hurst⁽¹⁰⁾| T: M A Barnes| OR: 80| C

14/1

Second over 2m3½f here in August. and probably needed the run after a break at Carlisle recently. Yard has started the new season well, and this mare has place claims if improving for that comeback run.

Form: 265F25-

Ringaringarosie²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-5| J: Thomas Willmott⁽⁷⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 79

17/2

Best when dictating, but only poor form when second in a blanket finish here in March, and disappointing on quicker ground at Hexham last time.

Form: 773P26-

Duhallowcountry^b¹⁰

Age: 13| Weight: 10-1| J: B S Hughes| T: V Thompson| OR: 75| CD

20/1

Veteran who has been competitive from reduced mark of late, winning at big prices here in March and at Newcastle in April. Not so good the last twice, but top rider booked, and should be running on late in the day.

Forecasts

Istimraar (2/7), Ringaringarosie (17/2), Agentleman (10/1), Jokers And Rogues (12/1), Roxyfet (12/1), Louloumills (14/1), Duhallowcountry (20/1), Boss Des Mottes (33/1), Muwalla (50/1)

Hard to get away from ISTIMRAAR, who has won both starts for Dan Skelton and is not in much deeper here. The pace should be sound, and that will help both Roxyfet, who kept on late at Hexham last time, and old-timer Duhallowcountry, who has the assistance of Brian Hughes in place of a claimer.
