11/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, soft, 11/2) 10 days ago by length from Mr Wagyu. One to consider under a penalty.

15/2

Fifth of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 4/1) 22 days ago, folding tamely. Back down in trip. Needs to bounce back.

Jill Rose¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: S Whitaker| OR: 64| CD

9/4

C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 18 in handicap (15/2) at Thirsk (6f, soft) 13 days ago, first home in group. Has good chance on pick of form and looks the one to beat returning to this venue.

Form: 4118-84

Forecasts

Jill Rose (9/4), Ey Up Its Mick (5/2), Eldelbar (3/1), Mr Wagyu (9/2), Teruntum Star (11/2), The Armed Man (13/2), Makyon (15/2), Dark Defender (12/1), Storm Over (25/1)

JILL ROSE won twice here last year when there was ease in the ground and she should get similar conditions tonight. She ran very well at Thirsk last time and makes plenty of appeal. Ey Up Its Mick is interesting with the blinkers refitted. Mr Wagyu holds some each-way appeal too.
