33/1

Mark has been dropping without any signs he can capitalise. Stable 2-70 this year and hard to fancy on this occasion.

25/1

Down to her last winning turf mark, but she was beaten a long way on her comeback run and her yard have been quiet.

Only Spoofing⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 71| BF| D

2/1

Five-time winner who is clearly suited to a stiff 5f such as this. Took advantage of a good mark last time and a 5lb penalty gives him 2lb in hand of his revised rating.

Form: 8-66431

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 75| C| D

10/1

Likes it here but all six wins have come from marks of 70 or less. No match for an easy winner last time but faces another tough test today.

Form: 391-812

Jack The Truth⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: George Scott| OR: 74| D

13/8

On a hat-trick following a smooth success in an apprentice race last week and avoids a penalty. Due to race off 9lb higher in future so would be expected to make the most of this opportunity.

Red Pike³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 72

20/1

Losing run now stretches back all to way to 2015 and proving inconsistent. Last of 15 a month ago and in a tough looking heat here.

Form: 937-290

Afandem^p⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Danny Redmond⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| CD

5/1

Scored by 5L here on heavy ground in May and only just failed to score here on Saturday. One of four in the race taking advantage of a lower mark before a higher one kicks in.

Forecasts

Jack The Truth (13/8), Only Spoofing (2/1), Afandem (5/1), Followthesteps (5/1), Diamonique (6/1), Spirit Of Wedza (10/1), Red Pike (20/1), Rosina (25/1), Henley (33/1)

JACK THE TRUTH, Only Spoofing, Afandem and Diamonique were allotted revised marks on Tuesday which are higher than those they race off here. The selection has fared best of all as he escapes a penalty for winning an apprentice race last week in comfortable fashion and he will be racing off a 9lb higher mark in future. The remaining trio have just one or two pounds in hand but Afandem has run well off today's mark and at this venue, so looks the one to include in forecast permutations.
