Rainy City^p¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 11-3| J: Harry Reed| T: J S Goldie| OR: 100

Dequall^p1¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sam Coltherd| T: W Coltherd| OR: 98| CD

11/4

C&D winner in March and respectable efforts since, unsuited by the modest gallop at Perth last time. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

Form: 89413-5

Skyhill^p,t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 96| C| D

16/1

Completed a 4-timer in 2019/20 but hasn't scored since and didn't do enough to suggest his turn is just around the corner at Perth last time.

Form: P8345-3

Lissen To The Lady²⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Mr Nathan Brennan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss S E Forster| OR: 92| C

Form: 36313-1

Crank Em Up⁶⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: J Kington| T: S G West| OR: 92

12/1

Belatedly took advantage of a drop in the weights at Sedgefield (27f) in March, but he's far from certain to be in the same form.

Form: P547P1-

Thimbleweed¹³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Bowen| T: N C Kelly| OR: 90

28/1

Poor maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 50/1) in January, unsuited by way race developed. Up in trip.

Form: 994080-

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley| OR: 85| D

Form: 6/8PPFP-

A Ladies Milan^p,t³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: S Mulqueen| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 80

25/1

Third over fences at Hexham in September and again placed back in this sphere at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. However, tame displays both starts since.

Form: 379368-
