Kilta¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 107

15/8

Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 5-runner handicap at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 16 days ago, quickening clear after the last and scoring with plenty in hand. Will go on improving with longer trip likely to suit.

Form: 6-34661

Yealand¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Sean Quinlan| T: J Candlish| OR: 106| BF

5/2

Opened his account on handicap debut at Newcastle (20.3f) in January and beaten only by a fellow thriving sort back there next time. Shaped as if still in good form at Carlisle 13 days ago and should remain competitive.

Form: 2-54125

Sean Og³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: Henry Brooke| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 101

33/1

Fair maiden at best who was well held after 4 months off at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do.

Form: 925258

Forecasts

Kilta (15/8), Yealand (5/2), Glen Cannel (9/2), Largy Shark (8/1), Romeo Brown (14/1), Gaelik Coast (18/1), Better Getalong (18/1), Sean Og (33/1)

KILTA looked a long way ahead of his opening mark when scoring in stylish fashion at Southwell 16 days ago and is highly likely to go in again. Yealand ought to be competitive once more and is feared most ahead of the class-dropping Gaelik Coast.
