Yolo Again²⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 72| D

12/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f), hampered. Off 6 months ahead of this debut for new yard and others make more appeal.

Form: 056040-

Victory Rose⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: S Pearce| OR: 70| D

9/4

Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good, 12/1) 8 days ago, but one suspects that she may just about be in the handicapper's grip for now.

Form: 85911-3

Dana Forever¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: T Hamilton| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 69

6/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 14 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once again.

Form: 8326-24

(10)

Madreselva²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 71| BF| D

9/4

Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form fourth of 10 in nursery at Catterick (5f, heavy, 2/1). Off 7 months and she'll need to raise her game in order to emerge on top here.

Form: 32314-

Hotalena^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| D

8/1

Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 15/2) 17 days ago. Visor back on and serious chance if coping with conditions back on turf.

Form: 721102

Orchid Rose¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Crook| OR: 54

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in handicap (66/1) at Catterick (5f, good) 17 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 478-6

(9)

Royal Jazz⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 53

5/1

6/1, excellent third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 9 days ago. 1 lb lower here and each-way shout if able to build on that effort.

Form: 8658-43

Forecasts

Victory Rose (9/4), Madreselva (9/4), Atiyah (9/2), Royal Jazz (5/1), Brazen Belle (5/1), Dana Forever (6/1), Hotalena (8/1), Miss Seafire (10/1), Yolo Again (12/1), Orchid Rose (40/1)

Providing she copes with conditions back on turf, HOTALENA may well be the answer to this open-looking handicap. She pulled nicely clear of the third when hitting the crossbar at Lingfield recently. Atiyah will also be taking a step into the unknown if the ground is on the slow side, but her claims are otherwise appealing and she is second choice ahead of Royal Jazz and Brazen Belle.
