Modest gelding. 22/1, good second of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Needs everything to drop right but claims again in this grade.

Miss Elsa⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Heard⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 48

Miss Sligo^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 48

3/1

Modest mare. Latest win at Kempton in February. Respectable second of 12 in minor event (7/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago. Another bold showing seems likely.

(7)

Turn Of Phrase¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: John Berry| OR: 47

11/1

Modest mare. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 12 in minor event (22/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago. Well exposed, but can't be completely dismissed in a weak race.

Form: 3-80744

(2)

Visitant^p⁴⁹

16/5

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 38

8/1

Forecasts

Miss Sligo (3/1), Dew You Believe (16/5), Visitant (6/1), Miss Elsa (13/2), King Christophe (15/2), Will He Dance (8/1), Turn Of Phrase (11/1), I'm Grateful (22/1), Clayton Hall (33/1), Mister Swift (200/1)

MISS SLIGO arrives in good order, which counts for plenty in this basement grade, so she's the tentative choice with another positive ride expected. Last-time-out winner Visitant deserves a mention, while King Christophe could make his presence felt if they go too hard up front.
