Mellys Flyer^h⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: George Scott| OR: 65| D

3/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (16/5) at Epsom (7f, good) 7 days ago, keeping on well. May do better still, so worth chancing to defy a penalty in a weak event.

Form: 482391

(6)

Atty's Edge³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 63

6/1

Tricky customer. 4/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Chepstow (6.1f, firm) 31 days ago. Not an obvious sort for the follow-up.

Form: 249-431

Havana Dawn²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: R Stephens| OR: 60

20/1

12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, soft) 24 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for in current form.

Form: 0246/58

Almost An Angel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| D

7/2

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 13 days ago. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit to this point, however.

Form: 817361

5/1

Forecasts

Handytalk (11/4), Mellys Flyer (3/1), Almost An Angel (7/2), Lamorna Cove (5/1), Atty's Edge (6/1), Havana Dawn (20/1)

MELLYS FLYER upped his game to score cosily at Epsom 7 days ago and is capable of following up if the race doesn't come too soon. Atty's Edge also arrives on the back of a win and Handytalk is well treated if on a going day, so neither can be ruled out.
