Yolo Aris¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: Debbie Hughes| OR: 65

33/1

Best effort so far when second of 13 at Sligo (extended 5f, good) last August; been off since being well beaten in a tough looking handicap at The Curragh the following month and might be best watched on debut for a new yard.

Form: 83620-

Rapidash⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

20/1

The filly's penultimate start (which was over C&D) was a respectable effort that gives her place claims at least in this company. Her stamina was stretched over an extended mile last time out, so that run might be best forgiven; one to monitor.

Form: 7676-48

(4)

Glencoe Boy⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 61

5/1

Three starts over 7f brought little last year but his dam won over this trip and the indications are that the lesser distance could suit. Been off since November and his yard has been quiet; on balance he has a bit to prove on handicap debut.

Form: 775-

Sir Gordon⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Fahy| T: R J Smith| OR: 60

80/1

Shown promise on a couple of occasions but sat out most of last summer and two starts on the AW at the back-end of 2019 were modest efforts. Dropped 6lb but still has something to find.

Form: 620300-

(10)

Shymay¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T P Queally| T: G G Margarson| OR: 60

10/1

Last two starts were promising for a low-key handicap but the filly has already created the impression that a longer trip might be in order. (Beaten 8¾L when third over 6f at Lingfield last month).

Form: 663-3

(5)

A Go Go¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 57

13/2

Won over 5f at Wolverhampton last October and been seen out regularly since; was a close second from the same mark here last month but yet to conclusively prove herself over a sixth furlong.

Form: 173-622

(9)

Inevitable Outcome¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock| OR: 55

4/1

Got loose before the start but still finished second - to Sir Rodneyredblood, who runs in the first division of this race at 4.50pm - last time out. Nudged down 1lb and not out of this by any means if she handles the preliminaries a bit better.

Form: 567-42

(8)

Bal Mal⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 51

9/1

Poor form registered in four outings last year and has plenty to prove on Polytrack debut. Yard going well and one of the most experienced jockeys being in the plate are redeeming factors, though.

Form: 8070-

(7)

Jungle Capers¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: M R Channon| OR: 48

6/1

Closely matched with Inevitable Outcome after their encounter at Lingfield in January and possible a more patient ride will reap a dividend on this occasion. Dangerous to leave out of the equation.

Form: 0002-63

(1)

Broughtons Compass¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: M R Hoad| OR: 45

5/1

Raced mainly over longer trips but readily coped when dropped to 6f last month. No easy task from 1lb out of the handicap but this does lack strength in depth and a strong pace will suit. Could be good value to make the frame.

Form: 375-934

Forecasts

Diamonds And Rust (3/1), Inevitable Outcome (4/1), Broughtons Compass (5/1), Glencoe Boy (5/1), Jungle Capers (6/1), A Go Go (13/2), Bal Mal (9/1), Shymay (10/1), Rapidash (20/1), Yolo Aris (33/1), Sir Gordon (80/1)

The weaker of the two divisions can go to INEVITABLE OUTCOME if she copes with the starting procedure this time. The filly unseated her rider and was briefly running loose last time out; but still managed to finish a very admirable second under the circumstances. Jungle Capers was just in behind on that occasion and has a feasible chance of reversing the form on these terms; he too merits considerations. As does Diamonds And Rust, who comes here on the back of her best effort to date, while Broughtons Compass and Rapidash, who are both unexposed at the trip, could also thrive now asked to race back over six furlongs. They complete the shortlist.
