Dandys Gold^p¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 69| D

5/2

Losing run is mounting up but mark continues to slide and was a creditable third at Doncaster 2 weeks ago despite missing the break. Cheekpieces back on.

Verreaux Eagle¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72| D

6/4

Didn't need to improve to win novice (4/7) at Carlisle (5.8f) before creditable third under a penalty at Pontefract. A bit keen on handicap bow at Sandown and this trip should prove more suitable.

Form: 272134

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Only seventh of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (6f) but big player judged on previous placed efforts at Lingfield and Leicester. Engaged 5.15 Yarmouth Thursday.

Celerity^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: Erika Parkinson⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

Remains a maiden after 105 Flat runs and easy to look elsewhere from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Out of form since winning on the AW in February so hard to fancy from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Verreaux Eagle (6/4), Dandys Gold (5/2), Persaria (7/2), Iris Dancer (9/2), Miss Trixie (6/1), Salsoul (6/1), Forbidden Beauty (12/1), Country Charm (12/1), Celerity (33/1), La Chica Lobo (33/1), Isabella Ruby (66/1), Brazen Lady (66/1)

VERREAUX EAGLE probably ran better than it looked at the time when fourth behind a pair of subsequent winners on handicap debut at Sandown 2 weeks ago and the return to 6f should suit given she was a bit keen that day. She gets the vote with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. Iris Dancer and Dandys Gold head the dangers.
