7/2

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who improved to win handicaps over 11f and 1¼m on her first 2 outings this season. Has failed to stay 2m on her last 2 starts and could resume her progression back over shorter. Considered.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| D

7/2

Winner at Ayr (dead-heated) and Musselburgh (12.5f) last month. Well beaten in competitive Class 2/3 handicaps on her last 2 starts but could make more of an impact back at this level.

Form: 221100

Two Brothers^v¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64

10/3

Still a maiden but went very close in a first-time visor over C&D 11 days ago. Pulled clear of the third so a 3 lb rise looks fair enough. Big player if the headgear works as well a second time.

Form: 236-502

(2)

Eclipse De Lunar^b,t¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61| C

9/2

Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 7/1 and blinkered first time, good second of 14 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good) 12 days ago, no match for winner.

Forecasts

Two Brothers (10/3), Real Terms (7/2), Sophiesticate (7/2), Eclipse De Lunar (9/2), Auntie Margaret (5/1), Arclight (11/2), Gift Of Raaj (17/2), Lord Torranaga (10/1), Can Can Girl (16/1)

REAL TERMS has patently failed to stay 2m the last twice and can resume winning ways on this first attempt at 1½m. Recent C&D runner-up Two Brothers will be a big threat if the visor works as well a second time. Sophiesticate should find this easier than the Class 2/3 events she's tackled on her last 2 outings and also makes the shortlist.
