Plumette²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Owen Lewis⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 68| D

15/2

Latest win at Wolverhampton in February for David Loughnane. Wasn't beaten far or given a hard time when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Respected from reasonable mark.

Glory And Gold⁸¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: P Morris| OR: 67| D

80/1

On the up for William Haggas last year but stable/seasonal debut at Beverley contained no encouragement. Something to prove after more than 2 months off.

Form: 39013-7

Laura's Breeze³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 68

8/1

Showed ability on her first 2 starts in novice/maiden company before racing too freely when down the field at Yarmouth last time. No chances have been taken with her opening mark.

Form: 439

Nigiri²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D C Costello| T: R M Beckett| OR: 68

11/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Still green but shaped well when third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 5/1) 25 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. May well do better now handicapping.

Form: 4-03

Princess Naomi³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: B R Millman| OR: 65| BF| D

4/1

Landed a gamble at Bath in April before a pair of good second-placed efforts on her next 2 outings. Found her run of good form coming to halt at Salisbury last time but she's the type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 731227

Streaky Bay^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 57| D

5/2

Bounced back to her best after a 13-month absence to win 10-runner handicap (40/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to be bang there again.

Forecasts

Nigiri (11/8), Streaky Bay (5/2), Princess Naomi (4/1), Plumette (15/2), Laura's Breeze (8/1), Dance Angel (10/1), Glory And Gold (80/1)

NIGIRI shaped really well in unfavourable circumstances at Wolverhampton last time and Ralph Beckett's filly is taken to make a successful handicap debut. Streaky Bay returned from a year-long layoff with a win at Yarmouth earlier in the month and can go well again from only a 2 lb higher mark, whilst Princess Naomi is also respected if able to shrug off a rare poor effort.
