Frankenstella^p⁶^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 83| D

7/4

7/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Haydock (16.2f, heavy) 6 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Good chance that she has more to offer, and obvious claims here under a penalty.

Form: 311-441

Thai Terrier²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

16/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 12/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and he has yet to encounter ground this slow.

Ottonian^p,t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 82

6/1

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Successful over hurdles at Musselburgh in March and wasn't disgraced back in this sphere when sent off at 100/1 at Chester (18.6f, good to soft) 21 days ago.

Form: 11/44-8

(2)

Clearance²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 81

12/1

10/1, second of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, good) 27 days ago. Mark unchanged, but he looks vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 11027-2

(6)

Snookered¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: B Ellison| OR: 72| C| D

13/8

Course winner. 7/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (14.2f, good to soft) 1 day ago. Up in trip.

Form: 1658-24

Diodorus⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Phil Dennis| T: T Davidson| OR: 70

9/1

One win from 21 Flat runs, which was on AW. Visor on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wetherby (21.2f, good) 57 days ago. Bit to prove back in this sphere.

Form: 3226/36-

Forecasts

Snookered (13/8), Frankenstella (7/4), Ottonian (6/1), Diodorus (9/1), Clearance (12/1), Thai Terrier (16/1)

Though only eighth at Chester earlier this month, OTTONIAN shaped better than the bare result and this stiffer track will play to his strengths. Donald McCain's charge is a plausible alternative to Frankenstella, who is bound to be a warm order on the back of her success in a Class 2 Haydock handicap on Saturday. Assuming Snookered doesn't go to post, Clearance could be in line for minor honours.
