Bint Dandy^b¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Wallis| OR: 69| C| D

16/1

Scored here a year ago and form has plummeted since. A good run here a month ago was followed by a mediocre effort and she has now dropped to her lowest mark in four years.

Form: 08-5034

Atletico¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: P D Evans| OR: 67

3/1

Getting on for two years since his last victory and his latest effort suggests connections will have longer to wait. All three wins have come over shorter.

Global Hope^p,t¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 66| C

11/2

Landed a poor race here two weeks ago over 6f and effective at this trip. Doubtful that victory warrants today's career high mark, but he does look in better shape than many in this.

Dancingwithwolves³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 71

9/2

Has looked one paced at this trip and his best efforts have come when ridden positively. Drop to 6f last time and more patient tactics had negative results, but this looks a more realistic opportunity.

Royal Welcome^v1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Spencer| T: J Tate| OR: 71

5/1

Form has deteriorated with each run since her Redcar second and a visor is applied this time. Gets a helping hand from the handicapper and would be dangerous if reacting favourably to the aids.

Form: 62455

Punjab Mail¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| BF

5/1

Has run well in better company than this and was sent off favourite 10 days ago when conditions may have turned against him. A drop in the weights and a positive jockey booking are reasons to be more than hopeful in this company.

Moretti¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J L Eyre| OR: 53| CD

9/2

Opened her account over C&D in impressive style at the 19th time of asking. This trip and fast ground appear to be the key, but she now has to keep the ball rolling in better company.

Forecasts

Atletico (3/1), Moretti (9/2), Dancingwithwolves (9/2), Punjab Mail (5/1), Royal Welcome (5/1), Global Hope (11/2), Tulloona (8/1), Bint Dandy (16/1)

PUNJAB MAIL has run well in better company than this and a generous drop in the weights, having failed to handle soft ground last time, makes him hard to oppose with Ryan Moore on board. Moretti and Global Hope were both impressive last time but they are taking on better horses here off a much higher weight. Royal Welcome has proved frustrating, but would take all the beating if the visor has the desired effect. Dancingwithwolves will appreciate the return to 7f, but he is proving one paced and a place finish may the best he can hope for. Tulloona may be a bigger threat having reacted favourably to fast ground over an inadequate trip last time.
