3/1

Finished runner-up twice this campaign including when beaten a nose on yielding-to-soft ground over 1m at Gowran Park on her penultimate start. Disappointed last time out and has run well over this trip in the past.

Forever A Lady¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 59| CD

3/1

C&D winner has placed on three of her last four starts including when runner-up over 1m at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) earlier this month. One to note off a mark 1lb higher than when third over C&D on her penultimate outing.

2/1

Consistent sort and finished a good third in a 7f handicap at Catterick (good-to-firm) five days ago. Races off the same mark here and is likely to run her race once more.

Gun Case^p²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: A C Whillans| OR: 52| D

33/1

Winner of six races but struggled in recent starts. Market support would be notable off a mark 11lb lower than for his latest success.

Form: 934-780

Indiaro¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 60

25/1

Improved on previous efforts when finishing fourth in a 6f novice race at Hamilton (good) earlier this month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55

15/2

Seven race maiden and finished a well beaten seventh in a soft ground 6f handicap at Thirsk last time out. Better ground forecast here likely to suit.

Form: 05-8057

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 45| CD

12/1

C&D recorded his best effort this campaign came when finishing ½L second in a C&D handicap on good-to-firm ground last week. One for the shortlist racing on this occasion.

Palavicini Run⁷

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

66/1

Out of form for most of 2018 and has struggled in two starts so far this time around. Well handicapped on old form but probably best watched at present.

Forecasts

Donnelly's Rainbow (2/1), Midnitemudcrabs (3/1), Forever A Lady (3/1), Be Proud (13/2), Here's Rocco (15/2), Let Right Be Done (12/1), Indiaro (25/1), Gun Case (33/1), Palavicini Run (66/1)

LET RIGHT BE DONE ran off a higher mark when finishing runner-up last time out and he can go one better on this occasion. The selection has the trip and forecast underfoot conditions to suit and he can see off Donnelly's Rainbow who has been running well in recent times while third place can go to Forever A Lady who ran well here on her penultimate start.
