Relight My Fire^b¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51| C| D

16/1

A four-time course winner; hasn't been in the best shape on the track so far in 2019, falling 11lb in the weights as a result; offered a shade more at Redcar (fourth) latest; couldn't be dismissed for place terms.

Form: 078404

Make On Madam¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Mr J Harding| T: J L Eyre| OR: 50| CD

16/1

Four-time course winner (7½f-1m1f) who is yet to score anywhere else on turf; out of sorts in 2019; 8lb lower than when fifth of 11 to Gabrial The Tiger here in May.

Form: 08-0580

(9)

Corked¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Mr Connor Wood⁽⁷⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 47

16/1

Sole win came at odds of 1/5f for Hugo Palmer in a 1m2f Chelmsford maiden in November 2017; stable among the winners of late but this mare hasn't threatened to add to her tally since a winter AW campaign.

Form: 386607

(2)

Prince Consort^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

40/1

24-race maiden; placed (well beaten) at odds 200-1 in a 7½f seller here last month; very unlikely to be competitive.

Forecasts

Luna Magic (6/4), Whatwouldyouknow (5/1), Coviglia (5/1), Sumner Beach (11/2), Ghazan (14/1), Corked (16/1), Relight My Fire (16/1), Make On Madam (16/1), Dose (25/1), Prince Consort (40/1)

The majority of the leading protagonists are partnered by the strongest riders, with the recent Redcar scorer Whatwouldyouknow having the assistance of Simon Walker, Sumner Beach is ridden by Patrick Millman and the capable Coviglia is the mount of Joanna Mason. All three of the aforementioned horses look virtually guaranteed to run their race, but the preferred option is LUNA MAGIC. This mare has been at the top of her game since joining Archie Watson and is reunited with Brodie Hampson in seeking to build positively on last month's Wolverhampton success.
