9/2

One win from 26 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2019. 8/1, very good second of 9 in handicap at this course (11.1f, good) 17 days ago, conceding first run. Needs considering.

18/1

C&D winner. 11/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 12 days ago. This 8-y-o will probably find a few too good once more.

5/1

Winner at Carlisle in May. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (11.1f, good, 8/1) 17 days ago, better placed than most. Not without each-way hope, but others rate more likely winners.

Form: 4-71946

25/1

Seventh of 9 in handicap (22/1) at this course (11.1f, good) 17 days ago. Record stands at 0-15 and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (8.3f, firm) 38 days ago. Significantly up in trip and sizeable step forward needed if he's to make an impact.

Forecasts

Haven Lady (9/4), Caballero (7/2), Ralphy Boy Two (9/2), Samurai Sneddz (5/1), Taxmeifyoucan (13/2), Crystal Guard (15/2), Lochnaver (15/2), Cavendish (10/1), Millie The Minx (18/1), Wildmountainthyme (25/1), Ben Doon (25/1), Pasha Bay (50/1)

HAVEN LADY and Ralphy Boy Two both found just the one too good last time and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter narrowly failed over 11f here after conceding first run and the extra furlong of this race won't go amiss, but preference is for John Quinn's filly, who appeared to stay 2m when chasing home a well-handicapped rival at Catterick a fortnight ago but this is probably her optimum trip. Caballero is best of the rest.
