Third course success when produced to lead late on over 6f here a week ago. Just as effective at 7f and ought to be thereabouts under a 4 lb penalty.

14/1

6/1, last of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, travelling with little fluency. Back down in trip. Visor on first time. Others more persuasive.

4/1

9/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good to firm) 26 days ago, no extra late on after leading for long way. Back down in trip. Can make presence felt.

Form: 0-7824

French Red^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 49

17/2

Runner-up twice last month. Not quite in the same form when fourth 3¾ lengths fourth to reopposing Oriental Lilly over 6f here last week but still much respected now stepping up to 7f for first time.

Form: 9-60224

(12)

Lady Artela^p1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 45

125/1

Poor form. Out the back in 2 handicaps this term. First-time cheekpieces will need to make a big difference.

Form: 7740-00

Forecasts

Oriental Lilly (5/2), Bawaader (10/3), Oh So Hot (4/1), Amelia R (5/1), French Red (17/2), Zenzero (14/1), Jems Bond (16/1), Lucky Violet (18/1), The Mackem Torpedo (20/1), New Look (33/1), Heer Me (100/1), Garnock Valley (125/1), Lady Artela (125/1), Griffin Street (150/1)

The drop back in trip looks a good move for the front-running OH SO HOT who might be able to dominate this field from the inside stall. Fellow 3-y-o French Red is feared most ahead of last week's penalised course scorer Oriental Lilly.
