Liamba^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| D

7/2

Triple AW 6f winner who also scored over 5f at Ayr (soft) a couple of years ago. Reappeared with a very respectable third over this trip at Hamilton (good to soft) recently. More needed to win again, but should be thereabouts.

Form: 1-17433

Boudica Bay⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Rachel Richardson| T: E J Alston| OR: 68| D

9/1

Five-time winner over 5f, on ground from good to firm through to good to soft. Latest success came in a 0-64 at Redcar last month, but 6lb rise and better company found her out last time. More needed.

Form: 24-2510

Dana Forever^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 72

4/1

0-9 but has gone close on four of those occasions, including when 1L second in a Newmarket handicap (6f, soft) on last month's reappearance. Didn't appear to see out 7f here last time, but cheekpieces now fitted and she could go close back over 5f.

Form: 3-32327

Puchita^p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 65

20/1

Enjoyed a purple patch on the Fibresand in the winter, winning three out of four at one stage (all 6f, beaten over 5f amid that sequence). Good effort at Wolverhampton last time, but needs to improve on recent turf form.

Form: 114103

Shepherds Way¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 68| D

11/2

Scored at Musselburgh (5f) last September, on her second handicap start, when 6lb lower. Went close to following up when just 2lb lower than today. Two creditable runs for this trainer this season, and could go well. Acts on good to soft.

Form: 5012-44

(10)

Iva Go^b1,t1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67| D

9/1

Made a good start to her career and scored on her second outing in a Beverley fillies' novice event (5f, good to firm) last year. Consistent thereafter, but now has a couple of below par runs this season to put behind her.

Form: 434-467

(4)

Strawberry Hind¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: M R Channon| OR: 65

50/1

Went close to winning a fillies' novice event at Goodwood (6f, good) last August, when she looked to be shaping nicely. However, has only managed to beat one opponent home in three more starts, so arrives with plenty to prove.

Form: 7220-07

Quench Dolly^b¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: L Morris| T: J Gallagher| OR: 60| D

11/1

Six-time winner over 5f-6f, on ground from good to firm through to soft. Nowhere near as good now as she was when earning the last of those in 2018, and is impossible to recommend on recent form.

Form: 003-060

(1)

Economic Crisis⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw⁽³⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 57| D

7/1

Prolific mare whose first win was as long ago as 2012 and she was still producing the goods last season. Relishes soft ground and this is her optimum trip. Now 1lb below her last success, so don't rule her out.

Form: 5767-65

(9)

Quaint²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 60| BF

20/1

Showed some promise last season as a juvenile and was runner-up in a Southwell filles' novice event (6f, AW) last October. Well held in both handicap runs, however, and little sign yet of her breaking her duck.

Form: 5327-6

(12)

Teepee Time^v¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 49| CD

14/1

The last of her four wins came in 2018 (all 5f and include 'good' in the going description). Handicapper has given her several chances of late, but she has been unable to take any of them, and that seems unlikely now she is back up 2lb.

Form: 6-38724

Forecasts

Liamba (7/2), Dana Forever (4/1), Sound Of Iona (9/2), Shepherds Way (11/2), Economic Crisis (7/1), Boudica Bay (9/1), Iva Go (9/1), Quench Dolly (11/1), Teepee Time (14/1), Quaint (20/1), Puchita (20/1), Strawberry Hind (50/1), Amber Lily (66/1)

Sound Of Iona did well last time, but her previous handicap form suggests she will need a step up back in this company, while Liamba and Dana Forever can both be competitive. Economic Crisis can't be ruled out, but preference is for SHEPHERDS WAY, who has run well in defeat on her two starts since joining Julie Camacho, acts on slow ground and could be the one for today.
