Unite Scotland Raceday With Martin Kemp Handicap

Off time: 19:33 | Winning time: 1m 11.2s

(4)

The Caltonian^b⁷²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 82| D

5/1

Prolific winner who completed a facile hat-trick at Newcastle in January. In process of running below form when brought down there (7.1f) just over 10 weeks ago. Expected to be bang there from a much lower turf mark provided he's none the worse for his fall.

Form: 11282B

Be Proud^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 80| CD

8/1

C&D winner. 100/1, not disgraced in a better race than he need contest after 5 months off when sixth of 15 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. This return to 6f promises to suit and is one of 3 for this yard.

Form: 00190-6

(5)

Snazzy Jazzy¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-6| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 79| CD

7/2

Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Fared little better than on reappearance when eleventh of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 17 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 0356-90

Rock Melody^p²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Mark Winn⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 78| D

15/2

66/1, still looked rusty in a much better race than she need contest when eleventh of 15 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Now just 1 lb above her last winning mark.

Form: 3516-00

(2)

Slainte Mhath¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K Scott| OR: 75| BF| CD

4/1

C&D winner. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (9/4) at Catterick (6f, good) 2 weeks ago. Yet to race on ground firmer than good but could well get those conditions here.

Form: 256-323

Jordan Electrics²³

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Davies| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| CD

5/2

C&D winner. 12/1, below form after 6 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Interesting back down to his last winning mark with that effort under his belt.

Form: 01334-9

Forecasts

Jordan Electrics (5/2), Snazzy Jazzy (7/2), Slainte Mhath (4/1), The Caltonian (5/1), Zarzyni (6/1), Rock Melody (15/2), Be Proud (8/1)

THE CALTONIAN enjoyed a profitable winter on the all-weather and having been freshened up since his tumble at Newcastle in March, Linda Perratt's 5-y-o gets the vote to come out on top from his much lower turf mark. Slainte Mhath has returned in good heart this year, so she can give the selection most to think about, with Jordan Electrics, who has dropped back to his last winning mark, looking the pick of Jim Goldie's trio before market clues.
