5/1

Latest win at Ayr in May. 15/2, run best excused when seventh of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago (short of room) and looks worth treating as if still in form.

9/1

Placed on 2 of last 3 outings and again wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. No reason why she can't go well again.

Forecasts

Macho Pride (5/2), Kilconquhar (11/4), Fircombe Hall (10/3), Impressor (5/1), Water Of Leith (8/1), Rose Bandit (17/2), Liv Lucky (9/1), Elladora (9/1), Glen Lomond (40/1), Pasha Bay (80/1)

FIRCOMBE HALL has finished runner-up on 2 of his last 3 starts and may be the one to beat if running to a similar level in this competitive event. Macho Pride and Impressor have been running creditably in similar races and hold claims, as does Liv Lucky, who is fairly consistent from this sort of mark.
