Lough Kent⁸¹

Age: 10| Weight: 12-7| J: Charlotte Jones⁽¹⁰⁾| T: James Moffatt| OR: 102

6/1

No doubt Cartmel will be on the agenda after this but weighted to give it a good go here as this is a drop in grade if able to bounce back from below par effort when last seen in February.

Santa Anna¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-10| J: C Brace| T: Caroline Mccaldin| OR: 96

16/1

22L fifth of 12 at Down Royal last summer was the nearest he has shown to any sort of ability, but fascinating that Irish connections have secured services of top claimer on only ride on the card so market watch a must.

Form: 579-0

Wild Sam^b⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-8| J: Bruce Lynn⁽⁶⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 89

1/1

Looked set to get off the mark at the nineteenth attempt but for falling at he last in similar event at Ayr last week. 5lb well in today and if in the same heart must go close in consolation bid.

Form: 09735-F

Karingo^p²²

Age: 12| Weight: 11-5| J: Thomas Dowson| T: Mrs L B Normile| OR: 86| C

16/1

Won over 3m here last August but has failed to run up to that in four subsequent runs here. Now drops in trip and hopes rest on that transforming him.

Form: 03155P-

Rioja Day^p¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-8| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75

11/1

Sole win in 24 runs over hurdles was when backed at Musselburgh in November. Hasn't been able to build on that but only 3lb higher today.

Form: 173640-

Mileva Roller⁵⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin⁽³⁾| T: Miss L Harrison| OR: 74

6/1

Regressive for previous stable and didn't show much on two runs for this yard when last seen in 2017. Only of interest if market proves positive.

Form: 865867/

Fairlee Grace⁵⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-7| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 74

8/1

Very good fourth at Ayr in January following a long lay off but hasn't been able to build on that in tow runs since and bit to prove at present.

Form: 464/484-

Painters Lad²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: Dale Irving| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 68

9/1

Didn't run too badly in two goes at Musselburgh in the winter but disappointed at Sedgefield since and has to prove he stays this far.

Form: 5/PP589-

Forecasts

Wild Sam (1/1), Lough Kent (6/1), Mileva Roller (6/1), Fairlee Grace (8/1), Painters Lad (9/1), Rioja Day (11/1), Karingo (16/1), Santa Anna (16/1), Byronegetonefree (33/1)

Wild Sam was unlucky not to break his duck last week and deserves to gain consolation but the booking of the excellent Connor Brace for SANTA ANNA takes the eye and any market support should be heeded. Lough Kent takes a drop in class and can hit the frame.
