Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 8 on C&D handicap debut 4 days ago. Top yard turns her out again quickly with a tongue tie added now.

6/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered first time, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (1m, 9/2) 24 days ago, badly hampered. First-time cheekpieces replace the blinkers now. One to consider.

Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford (1¼m) 18 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Needs to step up on his recent efforts.

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (11f, 10/3) 11 days ago. Had a bit in hand so should remain very competitive up 4 lb.

Three wins from 5 runs last year, making a successful start for his new stable after coming over from Ireland when seeing off 11 rivals in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Great Blasket (11/4), Flindrikin (9/2), Carbis Bay (6/1), Open Choice (6/1), Sense Of Worth (8/1), Tribal Wisdom (17/2), My Roxanne (11/1), Mercurius Power (18/1), Ribble Rouser (20/1), Broctune Red (25/1), Headingley (28/1), Urban Road (33/1)

Verdict

Several in with a shout in an open race. TRIBAL WISDOM gave an indication that he may be ready to strike from his reduced mark when fourth at Lingfield last week and Billy Loughnane doing the steering in an apprentice event is always a bonus. Flindrikin, who like the selection turns out again quickly, heads the many dangers along with Great Blasket and Open Choice.
