Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59| D

12/1

Boasts a rather all-or-nothing profile, though had excuses when ninth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) on return 28 days ago, going off too hard.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 58

20/1

(10)

Mrs Dibble^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: J Fanning| T: Ian Williams| OR: 51

16/1

8/1 and tongue strap on, bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 15 days ago, finding little. Back down in trip. Worth another chance on turf now on better ground.

Form: 608389

Forecasts

Mr Wagyu (9/4), Shackabooah (6/1), Marve (6/1), Magical Effect (6/1), Final Frontier (13/2), Gullane One (12/1), Mrs Dibble (16/1), Mr Orange (16/1), Dandy's Max (20/1), My Best Friend (28/1), Sfumato (33/1), Billyfairplay (40/1)

MRS DIBBLE looks on a fair mark on the pick of her form and the drop back in trip should suit this free-goer. Final Frontier has been holding his form well and rates a big threat back down in class, while Mr wagyu is another to consider under a penalty.
