13/8
Soft ground novice winner at Lingfield in July. Close second at Hamilton (6f, heavy) last time. Same mark here, and would have claims if reproducing that effort.

Goes well on soft. Returned from a break to put in a respectable effort when 3L behind his stable companion at Nottingham (heavy) last week. More needed from the same mark.

11/4
3-32 on turf, and goes well on soft/heavy ground. 2lb drop will help, and has been very competitive from higher marks already this season. Claims.

0-17. Acts on soft and sees out 7f. Has made the frame from similar marks, and wouldn't rule that out again.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox(3)| T: C G Cox| OR:  62
10/1
Has made the frame three times from seven starts, without yet winning. Acts on soft, stays at least 7f, and should be very competitive from this mark. Claims.

11/1
Came good at the ninth attempt with a 6f win at Chelmsford (AW) last time. Up 2lb for that, but a repeat effort would see her go close again, if she can handle testing ground on her first try.

Elzaam's Dreamh40

10/1
C&D winner (good to soft; first-time hood) on debut in a seller in June. Below that level on her next three starts, but back in better form last time when ½L second at Ffos Las. Up 4lb for that, so more needed, but enters calculations.

Dodgy Bobv17
Age: 6|  Weight: 8-7| J: Nathan Evans| T: M Mullineaux| OR:  48| D
50/1
Career record 4-60. Has won on soft, but no win now for two years, largely well held of late, and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Quirky Gertie (13/8), Smokey Lane (11/4), Zapper Cass (5/1), Elzaam's Dream (10/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (10/1), Miss Liberty Belle (11/1), Your Choice (20/1), Dodgy Bob (50/1)

Verdict

Smokey Lane has conditions to suit and has been given a chance by the handicapper, but the less exposed HEY HO LET'S GO also goes on soft ground and could finally break his duck this time. Miss Liberty Belle has to be feared if handling the ground, and neither Quirky Gertie nor Elzaam's Dream can be ruled out.
  1. Hey Ho Let's Go
  2. Smokey Lane
  3. Miss Liberty Belle
