4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 on handicap debut (33/1) at Kempton (7f) 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Early days but could only consider if the betting suggests that a lot better is expected this time.

14/1

Form: 650273

(4)

Scarriff⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 45

13/2

Only her second outing for this stable when second of 12 in C&D handicap 8 days ago. Player if able to build on that.

Form: 0456/02

Forecasts

Federated (4/1), We Still Believe (5/1), Humble Spark (6/1), Scarriff (13/2), Tables Turned (9/1), Oscar Doodle (10/1), Loom Large (12/1), Hot Team (14/1), Miss Harmony (14/1), Martin's Brig (16/1), Emer Elysees (22/1), Frankfreya (33/1)

WE STILL BELIEVE has a pretty solid record over this C&D and is taken to turn the tables on Scarriff, who was ahead of him in second over C&D last week. Hot Team ran well at Catterick a couple of weeks ago and is also on the shortlist along with Martin's Brig, who goes well here but has stamina to prove over this distance.
