15/8

Steadily progressive since the turn of the year, making it 4 wins from 8 starts at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 22 days ago. Solid second at Nottingham (10.2f) since and drop to 9f rates a plus.

Carrigillihy³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

15/2

New Bay gelding who showed fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in 1m minor events this spring. Easy to forgive his lesser effort on fibresand latterly and this more suitable now handicapping.

Form: 640

(7)

Love Of Zoffany³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Oliver Stammers⁽⁵⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 63

10/1

Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good, 11/2) 35 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 293-658

Aone Ally³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 63

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 30 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve.

Form: 55-6

(3)

Clansman³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 63

4/1

Promising individual. Fourth of 5 in minor event (15/2) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago, not knocked about. Slightly longer trip a plus and better expected now handicapping.

Form: 9-54

(2)

We Still Believe⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 62

14/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Newcastle in January. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (1m) in April, badly hampered by faller 2f out and not recover. Best treated as still in form.

Form: 067-160

(4)

Ayr Empress²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 60

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 27 days ago, seemingly ill-at-ease around the turn. Not one to write off.

Form: 430-4

(9)

Favourite Niece^p³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 60

10/1

Creditable third of 15 in handicap (22/1) at Wetherby (8f, good) 31 days ago. That was her first start for 7 months and she may well be a little sharper now upped to 9f.

Form: 608D4-3

Desert Quest^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rowan Scott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 51

33/1

33/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 4087-05

Mythical Waters^t⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Sean Davis| T: W Storey| OR: 45

100/1

125/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 41 days ago, racing off the pace and never landing a blow. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 9804-09

Forecasts

Omany Amber (15/8), Clansman (4/1), Ayr Empress (6/1), Carrigillihy (15/2), Favourite Niece (10/1), Love Of Zoffany (10/1), We Still Believe (14/1), Aone Ally (14/1), Desert Quest (33/1), Mythical Waters (100/1)

OMANY AMBER has proved steadily progressive since the turn of the year, tasting success 4 times on all-weather and posting a career-best display despite meeting with defeat when runner-up at Nottingham 8 days ago. The drop back to 9f rates a plus on that evidence and she looks sure to go well again. Handicap debut pair Clansman and Aone Ally head up the dangers, along with Favourite Niece.
