Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

10/1

Better effort in bumpers (modest form) when finishing runner-up in mares event at Sedgefield on debut in March. Worth a second look on Flat bow.

Love Safari²⁰⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: C Johnston

11/10

Galileo colt who was well beaten in a couple of back-end novices on turf last year. Too soo to be writing him off though, upped further in trip for his return here.

North Winterfell^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rowan Scott| T: S Woods| OR: 76

5/4

Golden Horn colt who found some progress in first-time tongue strap when third of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, weakening when hampered last ½f. A repeat should be enough for him to get off the mark.

Form: 533

€11,000 yearling, Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 1m/9f winner Counterparty Risk and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Tonkin. Dam twice-raced half-sister to very smart 12.5f/13f winner Sarah Lynx. Check betting.

Love Safari (11/10), North Winterfell (5/4), Positivia (10/1), Ribba Hill (11/1), Caledonian Pearl (66/1)

It's hard to look beyond NORTH WINTERFELL, who pulled clear with a couple of fairly useful sorts at Wolverhampton last month and a repeat should be enough for Sean Woods's 3-y-o to open his account. Positivia showed promise when finishing runner-up on her first start in bumpers, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Love Safari, who steps up further in distance on all-weather debut.
