5/4

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden (66/1) at Newcastle (8f) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut and big step forward needed.

Form: 3-58

(2)

Fly Pass^b¹¹

13/2

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm, 18/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers back on and should make her presence felt.

Form: 695-924

(3)

Bestie³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Russell| T: A Keatley| OR: 58

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/2) 37 days ago. Could be a threat back up to 7f having shaped pretty well over this trip on his penultimate start.

Form: 05-647

Havana Prince³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 58

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 54

7/2

Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 17/2) 16 days ago. Good second on her reappearance at the same course but will be going into the unknown conditions-wise if the ground is slower than good, which seems likely.

Form: 6433-28

(6)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J J Davies| OR: 51

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 8 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, soft). Off 7 months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

18/1

14/1

Good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 28/1) 18 days ago, flattered by proximity to the winner. Vulnerable for win purposes.

Forecasts

Jesmond Dawn (5/4), Loubiere (7/2), Fly Pass (13/2), Bestie (7/1), Havana Prince (10/1), Grid Iron Maiden (12/1), Clionia (14/1), Queen Of Africa (18/1), Curious Mrs Fox (40/1)

The return to this trip should suit BESTIE and he earns the vote ahead of Havana Prince and Fly Pass.
