C&D winner. Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (33/1) at York (7f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Shaped well over C&D on his penultimate outing, so can't be written off.

Creditable 2¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Oriental Lilly in handicap (22/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 43 days ago, merely closing up late. Not threatening to defy his sliding mark.

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, soft, 11/1) 25 days ago. Arrives in reasonable form and drop in trip should help.

Forecasts

Bibbidibobbidiboo (5/2), Lady Calcaria (5/2), Gweedore (9/2), Merricourt (9/2), Gigi's Beach (7/1), Donnelly's Rainbow (14/1), Oriental Lilly (14/1), Custard The Dragon (20/1), Gypsy Traveller (20/1), Mi Capricho (50/1), Anniemation (50/1)

Verdict

LADY CALCARIA dug in for pressure when second in first-time cheekpieces at Haydock last time and, with this longer trip unlikely to pose any issues, she's fancied to go one better under a positive ride from a good draw. Bibbidibobbidiboo was also runner-up recently, so she's respected along with Gigi's Beach, who makes his first start for MIchael Dods.

  1. LADY CALCARIA
  2. BIBBIDIBOBBIDIBOO (IRE)
