(1)

Trabajo Detecho^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 67| D

5/1

Latest win at Newcastle in March. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 9/1) 20 days ago. High on the shortlist.

Form: 413532

Happier⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| D

11/10

Lightly-raced winner. Respectable second of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft, 15/2) 7 days ago. Remains unexposed and likely to be in the mix once again.

Form: 6212

Malinheadsearovers²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Sullivan| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 61

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Couldn't be sure that this drop back in trip is what he wants.

Form: 79-35

(6)

Stella Blue^p1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Shane Gray| T: K A Ryan| OR: 60

40/1

12/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Yard saddled the winner of this last year but others preferred all the same.

Form: 26-4927

(4)

Wurkin Ninetofive¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 60

16/1

22/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 16 days ago and, chances are, she will come up short once again.

Form: 54-3696

(5)

Stormy Pearl^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 58| CD

9/2

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (5f, good, 11/4) 16 days ago. 3 lb nudge fair enough and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 67-4521

(3)

Bryce^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 52

11/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 6/1) 10 days ago. Due to go up 2 lb for that near-miss and a bold show is on the cards.

Form: 783462

Forecasts

Happier (11/10), Stormy Pearl (9/2), Trabajo Detecho (5/1), Bryce (11/2), Malinheadsearovers (11/1), Wurkin Ninetofive (16/1), Stella Blue (40/1)

BRYCE is still a maiden but he is taken to buck that trend here on the back of a near-miss in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon 10 days ago. Trabajo Detecho is pretty consistent on the whole and is likely to give another good account of himself, while Happier and recent course winner Stormy Pearl are others to consider.
