5/2

11 race maiden finished a neck second in a maiden handicap over this trip at Redcar (good-to-soft) last week. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and is interesting if repeating that latest effort.

8/1

Fair fifth at Redcar (6f, good-to-firm) a month ago on first start since wind surgery and being gelded. Struggled next time out however and others make more appeal.

Form: 534056

Age: 9| Weight: 8-10| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| D

25/1

Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts in recent months. Well handicapped on old form but takes a leap of faith to consider her racing from out of the handicap.

Form: 476000

Making her seasonal debut when finishing last of 15 in a 6f selling handicap at Thirsk (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Others make more appeal racing from out of the handicap.

Age: 12| Weight: 8-10| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45| CD

66/1

C&D winner and a winner of four races in total. Finished well beaten over 5f at Musselburgh (good) in July 2016. Absent since and probably best watched racing from out of the handicap on return.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: S A Gray| T: Andrew Hughes| OR: 45

20/1

Form: 00670

Forecasts

Ninjago (85/40), Hard Solution (5/2), B Fifty Two (6/1), Muhallab (8/1), Amazing Alba (9/1), Gunnabedun (16/1), Born Fighting (20/1), Thorntoun Lady (25/1), Nifty Niece (33/1), Heidiava (50/1), Ya Boy Sir (66/1)

The maiden HARD SOLUTION was placed off a higher mark last time out and he looks capable of getting his head in front in this selling handicap. Second place can go to top weight B Fifty Two who is another who placed on his most recent start while Ninjago, a winner at Thirsk earlier this month can take third.
