7/2

Won 11-runner handicap at Redcar (9f, good to firm, 8/1) 15 days ago by neck from Mac Ailey, sticking to task. Drop back in trip perhaps not ideal but he clearly must be respected.

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Georgia Dobie| T: B Ellison| OR: 55| D

6/1

Won 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (8f) 9 days ago. That was only her second win from 22 runs and she doesn't look an obvious one for the follow up back on turf.

Forecasts

Mac Ailey (11/4), Bearwith (7/2), Willing To Please (4/1), Bankawi (4/1), Reclaim Victory (6/1), Mr Coco Bean (16/1), Ailish T (20/1), Perfect Soldier (40/1), Porto Ercole (50/1), Madame Helen (125/1)

WILLING TO PLEASE is back in form and ran a couple of good races here last summer so she could be the way to go. Ayr-winner Bankawi looks set to go well from the front again under Jo Mason. Mr Coco Bean hinted at a revival here last time and might be in the hunt.
