Mellys Flyer^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Marco Ghiani| T: George Scott| OR: 75| D

11/4

4½ lengths fifth of 8 to Murbih in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 13 days ago, never nearer having been slowly away. Now 2 lb below his last winning mark, so he merits consideration.

Form: 28-5535

7/1

Under The Twilight³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: M Blake| OR: 71

8/1

Possibly still needed the run when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 10/3) 35 days ago. Could fare better this time around.

Giselles Izzy⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Saffie Osborne| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| BF| D

11/2

Winner at Southwell in December. 13/8, career best when second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 41 days ago. Can build on that effort to return to winning ways.

Forecasts

Mellys Flyer (11/4), Westmorian (4/1), Giselles Izzy (11/2), Murbih (13/2), Newyorkstateofmind (13/2), El Hombre (7/1), Under The Twilight (8/1), Catesby (12/1)

GISELLES IZZY produced a career best when only narrowly denied at Southwell in February and she can build on that effort to go one better this time around. El Hombre recorded his second win of the year last time and could be the main danger, with Mellys Flyer completing the shortlist.
