6/1

12/1

Returned to form when second of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 7 days ago, going about things in typically smooth fashion. Sure to be thereabouts with a repeat.

(2)

Mr Dib Dab²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 45

7/1

Unreliable sort but ran one of this season's better races when sixth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 20 days ago. Needs to build on that now.

Form: 0-07096

(12)

Harbour Project⁴¹

11/1

Ran badly when ninth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 22/1) 41 days ago. Others more persuasive.

(11)

Oot Ma Way^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine| OR: 49

6/1

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 8/1) 13 days ago, finding extra. Should go well again.

Form: 653241

(6)

Sovereign Point⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: P R Webber| OR: 45

80/1

Looks limited on early evidence but at least gets a crack at handicaps now.

Form: 77P4

(10)

Regina George³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 45

18/1

Poor maiden who fared little better back down in trip when sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 3 days ago.

Form: 04706

Forecasts

Habanero Star (5/1), Oot Ma Way (6/1), Broughtons Chief (6/1), Recuerdame (6/1), Inexplicable (13/2), Mr Dib Dab (7/1), Harbour Project (11/1), Beepeecee (12/1), Khazaf (12/1), Anniemation (14/1), Regina George (18/1), Macocha (33/1), Sovereign Point (80/1)

OOT MAY WAY improved to open her account at Newcastle 13 days ago, and with the front pair nicely clear of the third, the form looks solid for the level, so she's taken to defy a 3 lb rise and follow up. Khazaf and Habanero Star head up the opposition.
