Sent off the outsider in every start to date and weakened tamely when 9L sixth at Thirsk (1m) last month. Back down to a C&D she ran well enough over previously but others have stronger claims.

Four-race maiden who struggled in novice company, but made taking headway when 4L fifth on handicap debut at Kempton (1m) in March. Not seen since but 1lb better off in this so has to be considered.

Yet to achieve anything to note in three starts and was never nearer when 7L third at Pontefract (6f)n on latest start. Opening handicap mark is high enough so will need more improvement.

Pacey sort. Not seen since November when weakening to finish 5L sixth in 5f Southwell handicap. Dropped 3lb in the weights since but others look more progressive. Likely to set the pace.

Improving sort with each race despite being sent off as relative outsider, and put up career best when 2L third on handicap debut at Windsor (6f) last month. Off the same mark in a lesser contest so is on the shortlist.

Well-beaten in all four starts to date and handicap company didn't seem to bring out improvement when 28L 11th at Kempton (7f) last time. Makes limited appeal.

Cape Town Lady16

6/1
Modest sort who failed to land a blow when trained in Ireland by Denis Hogan but wasn't beaten far when 2L seventh at Chelmsford (7f) on stable bow. 1lb better off for that so dangerous to ignore.

Had shown glimpses of some ability previously but took form to higher level when narrow third in C&D classified race last time. Remains on the same mark for this and could progress further once more.

Carriage Clock16
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR:  48
16/1
Had shown some promise in early juvenile career but failed to kick on since. Offered only some form when 7L fifth at Thirsk (1m) last month but vulnerable to less exposed sorts in this.

Sea Willowp16
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson(5)| T: H Spiller| OR:  46
16/1
Sort who was always likely to be more suited to this level and slowly getting the hang of things. Better than result suggested when 3L eighth at Chelmsford (7f) last month and gets leniency from the handicapper for that effort.

Zebedee filly who has beaten only one horse home in four career starts. Not seen since 18L last of seven at Chester (6f) last July and looks out of her depth even at this level. Heavily opposed.

Forecasts

Don'tyouwantmebaby (4/1), Diamond Cottage (4/1), Dublin Rocker (5/1), Cape Town Lady (6/1), Where Next Jo (13/2), Falacho (11/1), Cindy Looper (11/1), Sea Willow (16/1), Carriage Clock (16/1), The Fitzpiers Lion (50/1), Drew Breeze (50/1), Eileen's Magic (125/1)

Verdict

A contest in which the form lacks any significant substance, preference is for the unexposed DONT'YOUWANTMEBABY to break her duck. The filly has shown a tendency to race well when fresh in the past and surprisingly gets leniency in the weights off the back of a promising run at Kempton in March. The same verdict applies to Cape Town Lady on her recent debut effort in Britain but looks an exposed type on her Irish form, while Where Next Jo looks the main danger given her career-best effort over C&D last time out and isn't penalised for that. Diamond Cottage too mustn't be overlooked on her recent handicap debut and goes off the same mark in this.
