6/5

Had been knocking on the door for a while and finally got off the mark in 8-runner handicap (9/2) at Chester (15.9f, good) 6 days ago, edging ahead final 50 yds. Carries penalty and fancied to be bang there again.

12/1

10/1, shaped similarly to as on debut for the yard when fifth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 31 days ago. Hood on 1st time. More needed.

Form: 1542-55

(4)

Turner Girl^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joanna Mason| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 63| CD

5/2

C&D winner. 13/2, seemed stretched by the extra distance when third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time and fancied to be in the mix back down in trip.

Form: 359-333

(5)

Eye Knee^t²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 58| C

6/1

Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Ran much better than on his stable debut when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. Another step forward needed to get involved.

Form: 582-505

(2)

Lord Torranaga³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: P A Kirby| OR: 57| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Failed to justify support when last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 59-7457

Forecasts

Scottish Dancer (6/5), Turner Girl (5/2), Eye Knee (6/1), Lord Torranaga (13/2), Heatherdown Hero (12/1)

TURNER GIRL went close over 1½m here on her penultimate outing, and having been stretched by the extra distance at Ripon 3 weeks ago, Ed Dunlop's C&D winner gets the verdict to come out on top with first-time headgear applied. Scottish Dancer broke his duck at Chester just 6 days ago and he's sure to give the selection plenty to think about under a penalty, with Heatherdown Hero taken to fill third spot.
