Won at Yarmouth last August and has continued on the up in handicaps this term, third of seven at Goodwood (1m) a week ago. Merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark.

Awesome Georgie¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Coakley| T: W Stone| OR: 73

10/1

Showed fair form in 1m maidens on her first two runs but she came in last of 15 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago. Has something to prove now going into handicaps.

Form: 260

Ashmore²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 71

16/1

Excellent second on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m) only to come in 11th in similar company at Sandown later in May. Worth another chance.

11/1

Fair maiden. Took a backwards step from his handicap bow when fourth of 5 at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 41 days ago. Has something to prove now.

Form: 968-234

Buy The Dip¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J R Boyle| OR: 59| D

17/2

Gained his breakthrough success in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 13 days ago. Can race off a 3 lb lower mark here so holds good claims.

Form: 537201

Forecasts

Cancan In The Rain (9/4), Forest Demon (4/1), Harlem Nights (5/1), Edge Of Ember (15/2), Buy The Dip (17/2), Awesome Georgie (10/1), Macho Sun (11/1), Ashmore (16/1)

CANCAN IN THE RAIN arrives on the up and can race off the same mark as when an excellent Goodwood third a week ago so is fancied to resume winning ways. Buy The Dip is feared most on the back of his victory at Lingfield, with in-form pair Forest Demon and Edge of Ember also in the mix.
