Below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago, off the bridle before most and never landing a blow. Mark is easing but others arrive with more pressing claims.

7/1

Winner at Ripon in April. 9/4, good second of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 18 days ago, headed on the line. Still relatively low mileage and no reason why he won't remain competitive.

Form: 126732

(2)

International Girl²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| BF| D

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (5/2) at York (5.4f, good) 26 days ago. Prevous exploits suggested this mark isn't beyond her and she may yet get back on the up.

Form: 1-0235

(3)

Koropick¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Shane Gray| T: C J Teague| OR: 64

40/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2017. Best effort for some time when third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Task now is to back that up.

Form: 089893

Forecasts

Sound Reason (3/1), Khabib (6/1), Global Humor (13/2), Tees Spirit (7/1), International Girl (15/2), Ginger Jam (9/1), Navajo Spring (9/1), Glory Fighter (11/1), East Street Revue (11/1), Nibras Again (28/1), Koropick (40/1)

INTERNATIONAL GIRL needs forgiving a slightly lesser effort at York on her latest start, yet she had previously been shaping up as though her turn wasn't far away in handicaps from this sort of mark and is fancied to go well back against her elders. East Street Revue arrives on a roll and is feared, along with Tees Spirit and Sound Reason.
