Billy Dylan^v1¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| BF| D

20/1

Disappointing 7L last of five over 5f in a selling event at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Interesting to see how he fares racing off a mark 7lb lower than for his latest success witha visor tried for the first time.

Form: 8-60555

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 77| D

16/1

Finished last of six in a 5f handicap on the AW at Newcastle last time out. Handicap mark is falling but is probably best watched at present.

Form: 24-9086

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: N Wilson| OR: 70| D

Form: 527305

The Defiant¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: P T Midgley| OR: 71| D

11/4

Successful three times this campaign including by 2L over this trip at Thirsk (good-to-firm) on his penultimate start. Good second over this C&D subsequently and is likely to play a leading role in this contest.

Form: 4-16112

(6)

Qaaraat¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 67

7/1

Not beaten far despite finishing last of six over this trip at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Market support would be notable having run well off higher marks in the past.

Form: 225866

Guardia Svizzera^h¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 67| C| D

14/1

Multiple winner returned from a break with a fair seventh over this trip at Southwell in April. Absent since and probably best watched at present.

Form: 000-777

(2)

Something Lucky^v¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 66| D

8/1

Form: 910423

(8)

Computable^p¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rachel Richardson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| D

16/1

Handicap mark is falling following some disappointing efforts this season including when seventh over this trip at Beverley (good-to-firm) last week. Market support would be notable.

Form: 924-087

Forecasts

The Defiant (11/4), Indian Pursuit (7/2), Landing Night (5/1), Qaaraat (7/1), Something Lucky (8/1), Longroom (12/1), Guardia Svizzera (14/1), Little Legs (16/1), Computable (16/1), Billy Dylan (20/1)

INDIAN PURSUIT has a good record at this venue and he can build on some solid placed efforts of late to take this sprint handicap. The Defiant is an improving three-year-old and he is capable of chasing the selection home while third place can go to top weight Billy Dylan who has a visor fitted for the first time.
