7/2

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago, meeting trouble but keeping on final 1f. Worth another crack at this trip and she remains low-mileage. Contender.

Bobby Shaftoe^p1¹⁰

100/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Well-beaten last of 10 to Maydanny in listed race (300/1) at this course (10f, good) 10 days ago. This undoubtedly more suitable but he does need to step up a good deal to feature

Forecasts

Kats Bob (3/1), King Of Tonga (16/5), Aquamas (7/2), How Bizarre (13/2), Beechwood Emily (9/1), Ventura Vision (12/1), Written Broadcast (16/1), Cragside (18/1), Corra Linn (20/1), One Last Hug (25/1), Lucky Violet (25/1), Bobby Shaftoe (100/1)

This looks decidedly trappy and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on AQUAMAS. A maiden on the back of 7 career starts to date, she wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Musselburgh 17 days ago and may yet have more to offer at this sort of trip. Kats Bob and King of Tonga are a couple of others to consider.
