Inspired Thought²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 75| BF| D

7/4

Obvious chance based on her three runs to date (two wins and one second place). Negatives would be her handicap mark (up 1lb for finishing second) and this being her first run on turf. Still, is drawn well and an obvious contender.

Form: 112

Northernpowerhouse¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 73| D

4/1

Seems to have improved over the winter evidenced by his decent second at Thirsk on his reappearance. If improving again he holds every chance. Stable arguably not in the best of form at present.

Form: 33108-2

Magical Spirit⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 71

8/1

Improved for every race last season, winning a maiden auction on his third start. Carried on his good form at Newcastle, narrowly beaten over six furlongs. Leading player though 57 day absence a slight concern.

Form: 931-2

(8)

Fume²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: J D Bethell| OR: 71

25/1

One of the most exposed in the field but produced a career-best performance on his seasonal reappearance at Ripon last month before disappointing from a bad draw at Pontefract. If back to best, can go close.

Form: 225-337

Defence Treaty³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Sean Davis⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 69

20/1

May not have stayed the extended seven furlong trip at Beverley last time and will be happy back over this distance. No experience on the expected fast ground but open to improvement.

Form: 346-3

(11)

Olivia R²⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T Hamilton| T: T D Barron| OR: 69

40/1

No real chance based on last year's form but comes from an in-form stable whose runners do well at this track and lightly-raced enough to promise some improvement. Any market moves would be significant.

Form: 636-

Murqaab^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: J Balding| OR: 69| D

33/1

Not one to be relied on but did win a seller in good style last time out over this trip having struggled in handicap company previously. May struggle again here.

Form: 330-741

(12)

Fair Alibi¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: T P Tate| OR: 68

20/1

Remarkably consistent (apart from running poorly at Pontefract three starts ago. Could soon be on a winning mark but others preferred.

Form: 0-12945

(7)

Arletta Star⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

6/1

Has been racing around seven furlongs of late but arguably put in her best performance over this trip at Ripon last month. A reproduction of that form would see her go close

Form: 363-452

(9)

Seanjohnsilver^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J Quinn| T: D Carroll| OR: 58

16/1

Finished well and only beaten a short head last time out at Ripon over this trip. If he runs a similar race he could prove hard to beat off his current mark.

Form: 575-032

(2)

Ascot Dreamer^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: D Fentiman| T: D H Brown| OR: 57| BF| CD

15/2

Won over course and distance last month and has put in two similar performances in defeat subsequently. Has chances but could be vulnerable to some more unexposed types.

Form: 432142

(5)

Muhallab²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 56WS

33/1

Has not got the form to suggest he could get competitive against these rivals. Eased down when well beaten last time out.

Form: 5340

Forecasts

Inspired Thought (7/4), Northernpowerhouse (4/1), Arletta Star (6/1), Ascot Dreamer (15/2), Magical Spirit (8/1), Seanjohnsilver (16/1), Defence Treaty (20/1), Fair Alibi (20/1), Fume (25/1), Muhallab (33/1), Murqaab (33/1), Olivia R (40/1)

ARLETTA STAR can use this return to six furlongs to finally get off the mark having shown her versatility over longer trips. Magical Spirit showed his well-being on his seasonal reappearance and has the scope to improve again while Seanjohnsilver is expected to be in the shake up and perhaps even atone for his recent near miss at Ripon over this trip.
