5/2
9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (14.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago. 2 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations.

11/2
Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 8 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to find a bit of improvement from somewhere.

Temperamental sort. One win from 24 Flat runs. 15/2, 7¼ lengths seventh of 10 to Marbuzet in handicap at Carlisle (14.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Marbuzet (5/2), Bobby Shaftoe (5/2), Lechro (7/2), Trailblazer (11/2), Samurai Sneddz (11/1), Toutatis (12/1)

Verdict

Though her stamina is by no means copper-bottomed, LECHRO nevertheless gets the nod in this trappy-looking contest. She was a shade too keen last time but looked better than ever when opening her account at Beverley previously, and there can be hope that she will get home over this trip round here in a race that could become tactical. Bobby Shaftoe and Marbuzet are likely to emerge as the main dangers.

  1. Lechro7/2

  3. Marbuzet5/2
