Kodicat^p¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 55

13/2

Has recorded just the one win in 27 starts in her career but finish second on four occasions in 2018. Her form this season has been below her best, including latest when fifth of 14 at Newcastle (6f) on the AW. Has to be respected off this mark.

Form: 30-0445

Hello Girl⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 54| D

7/2

Was successful on turf for the first time in her career last time at Lingfield (6f) in a classified contest in what was her second run for new yard. Returns to handicapping where she has a good chance of building on recent success.

Spirit Of Zebedee^v⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 52| D

5/1

Was successful on the AW twice earlier this year. Has yet to transfer his form across to turf this year, although he was only 2¾l away five days ago at Thirsk (6f) when sixth of 18. Has won off a 5lb higher mark before. Good claims here.

Form: 240046

Vallarta¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 50| CD

9/1

Experience gelding who has won three times over this C&D, including off a 8lb higher mark than this. Form has been below best this season but has not been too far away on his last two starts. Each-way claims.

Jessie Allan¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Corey Madden⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 49| CD

25/1

A C&D winner here last year. Was third of nine at Musselburgh (5f) back in April. Since then though, her form has been poor, including her last two starts here where she has been a long way down the field. Hard to make a case for.

Macs Blessings^v1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 54

14/1

Was successful on the AW earlier this year at Newcastle (1m). She has run modestly well in her two turf starts this season, including latest when fifth of 13 at Wetherby (1m). Dropping down in trip. Visor on for first time. One to consider.

Popping Corks⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 54| D

20/1

Yet to score in 14 attempts on turf but has hit the frame this season at Musselburgh. Was only 2¾l away last time when fifth of 12 at Hamilton (5f). Up in trip which will suit her. Each-way claims.

Form: 3033U5

Kinch¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Donagh O'Connor⁽³⁾| T: G M Lyons| OR: 54

9/1

Irish raider who is still a maiden after eight attempts. Has been disappointing this season where she has been prominent at the top end of the betting in the majority of her races. Now drops down in trip and class. Interesting runner.

Form: 8-98700

Dancing Mountain⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 54| BF| D

12/1

Her form has been mixed since switching yards earlier this year. Was fancied to go well last time at Hamilton (5f) when going off as the 11/4 favourite but reared at the start which cost her any chance of success. Not to be ignored.

Form: 026430

Perfect Swiss²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54

7/1

Lightly-raced gelding who has had just six starts. She came close to breaking her maiden two starts backs on the AW at Wolverhampton (6f). Could only finish 12th of 14 last time on her return to turf at Leicester (7f). Others preferred here.

Form: 567-420

Lexington Palm¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 53| D

16/1

Broke her maiden over this distance in a novice race at Catterick last year on what was just her second run. Has struggled this season in handicap company. Back up in trip and now 3lb lower. Others make more of an appeal.

Form: 79-6807

Star Cracker^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 47| C| D

50/1

Won on the AW at Newcastle over 5f earlier this year. Since then her three starts on turf have been poor, including latest at Hamilton (5f) where she was 10th of 12. Majority of her best form is at 5f. Difficult to fancy here.

Form: 391680

Leeshaan²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 46

20/1

Was third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) on her opening start of the season. Has not been able to build upon that since then. Could only finish sixth of 12 last time at Hamilton (5f). Up in trip. Others preferred.

Henrietta's Dream^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

50/1

Still a maiden after 36 races. Has been a long way away at the finish this season, apart from her last run at Chester (7½f) when sixth of 14, beaten by just 2l. Hard to see her recording her first win today.

Form: 500606

Night Law³⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 45

33/1

Looking for her first win since 2016. Ran well at Sligo (7f) four starts back when third of 12. Has been well beaten since then, including last outing at Roscommon (7f) when seventh of 15. First run for new yard. Others more likely to win.

Palavicini Run⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45

100/1

Has not finished above many horses over the last couple of years. Didn't suggest things will change any time soon on her seasonal reappearance at Musselburgh (7f) where she was last of 11. Hard to make a case for.

Hello Girl (7/2), Spirit Of Zebedee (5/1), Kodicat (13/2), Perfect Swiss (7/1), Havana Go (8/1), Kinch (9/1), Vallarta (9/1), Dancing Mountain (12/1), Macs Blessings (14/1), Lexington Palm (16/1), Leeshaan (20/1), Popping Corks (20/1), Jessie Allan (25/1), Night Law (33/1), Star Cracker (50/1), Henrietta's Dream (50/1), Palavicini Run (100/1)

HELLO GIRL was successful last time at Lingfield and although that was just a classified contest, it may just be the confidence booster she needed. She seems to have improved for a change in yards and could be off a very lenient handicap mark here. Kinch is still a maiden but will appreciate this drop in class and the trip which might suit so expect him to go close, while Macs Blessing is also interesting over this distance with the visor on for the first time.
