One Punch Terri¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Keatley| OR: 49

10/11

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, improved when third of 14 in minor event at this course (12.4f) 16 days ago, pulling clear of the remainder. Leading claims.

(8)

Rose Of Lancashire¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 46| BF

6/1

Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 7/2, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D a fortnight ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 6250-34

Forecasts

One Punch Terri (10/11), Lukoutoldmakezebak (9/2), Rose Of Lancashire (6/1), Ranger Bob (7/1), Visitant (9/1), Quoteline Direct (16/1), New Look (25/1), Oasis Law (40/1), Allerthorpe (150/1)

Adrian Keatley's ONE PUNCH TERRI showed improved form when pulling clear with a couple of others in a similar event here just over a fortnight ago. She's one of the least exposed so gets the vote to open her account. Rose of Lancashire wasn't helped by some early scrimmaging over this C&D a fortnight ago so she heads the possible dangers, ahead of Ranger Bob and Quoteline Direct.
