Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88| BF

8/11

Progressive, winning Nottingham novice before readily seeing off 4 rivals in Redcar handicap. Just failed having conceded first run back at Redcar since and remains open to improvement for top yard.

Basilicata³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78

4/1

Dual winner at 2 and started. this year with some good efforts. A bit disappointing the last twice but has been freshened up and she's certainly capable off this mark if close to her best.

Form: 225345

Finally Mine⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 66

10/1

Well exposed and not on her game in blinkers/visor the last twice. Headgear discarded this time. 3 lb out of handicap and likely wait for a first win will go on.

Form: 624440

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: S H James| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72

Fair form. Best effort yet when second in 9f Musselburgh maiden a week ago, albeit no match for the easy winner.

Form: 528-42

9/1

Hasn't matched form of AW debut second in 2 outings on turf this year but it's still early days and she makes handicap debut after a short break with her stable in good form.

Form: 2-74

Forecasts

Sweet Believer (8/11), Basilicata (4/1), Hipsway (7/1), Vision Of Victory (9/1), Finally Mine (10/1)

It's very hard to ignore the claims of SWEET BELIEVER, who stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can make it 3 wins in her last 4 outings. Basilicata is the one most likely to chase her home if back to anywhere near her best.
