Maiden after eight starts but registered a career best effort when finishing a close third over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time out. One to note stepping up slightly in distance.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 51

16/1

Successful in selling company over 7f as a two-year-old and placed twice at Leicester this campaign. Disappointed on two most recent starts however and others hold stronger claims.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jamie Gormley| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 51| D

20/1

Victorious in a 1m handicap at Redcar (good-to-firm) in April. Generally disappointing since however and needs to return to form to figure in this event.

Forecasts

Tails I Win (7/2), The Big House (4/1), Arriba De Toda (5/1), Lethal Laura (11/2), Parion (8/1), Zalmi Angel (12/1), Grey Berry (14/1), Lady Rouda (14/1), Klipperty Klopp (14/1), Lady Lavinia (16/1), Lexikon (20/1), Um Shama (22/1), George's Law (25/1), Our Secret (25/1), Smashing Lass (28/1), Stainforth Swagger (50/1)

ARRIBA DE TOUDA performed well when finishing a close third here on his penultimate start and he is taken to get off the mark in this big field handicap. Second place can go the way of bottom weight Lady Rouda who has an eye-catching jjockey booking here while Lethal Laura, fourth on her most recent start can finish one place better this time.
