Shanroe Street^v¹⁸

Age: 13| Weight: 11-12| J: Gregor Walkingshaw⁽⁷⁾| T: G Walkingshaw| OR: 102| D

9/2

Fair chaser who was a well-held fourth to Steely Addition when last seen under Rules at Kelso 11 months ago. Has been in reasonable form in the flags lately, so not without a chance.

Form: 23/U422-

Shaughnessy⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Jack Holliday⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs A C Hamilton| OR: 96

4/1

Bumper winner but a maiden over obstacles (including in points) and latest third at Kelso a week ago was a sub-par effort.

Form: P4422-3

So Be It^t⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Mr Nick Orpwood⁽³⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 58

13/2

Maiden pointer who has little form under Rules and faces a quick turnaround.

Form: PP43R-4

Forecasts

Steely Addition (4/5), Shaughnessy (4/1), Shanroe Street (9/2), So Be It (13/2)

STEELY ADDITION arrives on a hat-trick from points and was well on top of Shanroe Street the last time the pair met, so he's the obvious choice. Shaughnessy isn't completely dismissed.
