Where's Diana⁷²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| CD

15/8

Winner over C&D in April. Hasn't built on that but latest Catterick fourth was creditable. Has a bit to find with Bloomington Bride on these terms.

Form: 1304

Forced Entry³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara

7/1

Poor form both starts. Still early days for his good yard but he will need to improve.

Form: 47

Bloomington Bride¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 74

10/11

Fair form, finishing third over 5f at Nottingham and Thirsk on her last 2 starts. This looks an excellent opportunity for her to get off the mark.

Form: 533

(2)

Lady Ardad

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: J L Eyre

10/1

Foaled February 24. 11,000 gns breeze-up purchase by Ardad. Dam, lightly raced, closely related to useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Lethal Steps. Betting should help guide to expectations.

Forecasts

Bloomington Bride (10/11), Where's Diana (15/8), Forced Entry (7/1), Lady Ardad (10/1)

This looks a very good opening for Kevin Ryan's BLOOMINGTON BRIDE to get off the mark, with early-season C&D scorer Where's Diana the obvious one to follow her home unless the betting speaks in the favour of newcomer Lady Ardad.
