10/1

Winner at Lingfield in May. 11/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and others make more appeal.

40/1

28/1

Visored for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm, 20/1) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and blinkers back on. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.

8/1

Twenty-three runs since last win in 2020. 4/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 17 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak.

Lark Lane^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon| OR: 48

7/1

Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Worth considering from an each-way perspective.

Form: 074625

Forecasts

Hellavapace (5/2), Lilandra (5/1), Millicent (11/2), Lark Lane (7/1), Chetan (8/1), Red Bravo (8/1), Essme (10/1), Broughtons Flare (10/1), This Is My Half (14/1), Tenth Century (20/1), Defilade (22/1), Tromso (28/1), Tara (33/1), Kumasi (40/1)

The vote goes to HELLAVAPACE, who has left the impression that his turn is near with solid efforts in defeat at Brighton and Chelmsford the last twice. Lark Lane wasn't disgraced at Yarmouth recently and should again be on the premises, while Broughtons Flare is of interest returned to turf and Lilandra is unlikely to be far away.
