Cori Glory¹⁹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: J Garritty| T: M Walford| OR: 76| D

6/1

Below form when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 6 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running if she's to add a second career victory to her tally.

Form: 126628-

Cue's Beau²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72| D

2/1

Bounced back to best to resume winning ways in 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 24 days ago. Is now 2-2 on the surface and every chance he can extend that to 3.

Form: 21-3471

Lokana¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

10/3

6/1, put her experience to good use to get off the mark after 8 months off in 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut and could kick on now up and running.

Form: 6335-1

Happier¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

7/2

Best effort of the season when fifth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (6f, good to firm) just under 2 weeks ago. Should be spot on now trying 7f for the first time.

Form: 666-735

Taygar^h1²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 73

13/2

Made a winning debut last April but failed to build on that, well held in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f, good, 80/1) when last seen 7 months ago. Hood on 1st time.

Petra Celera¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 71| C

20/1

Course winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) back in January, merely closing up late. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Cue's Beau (2/1), Lokana (10/3), Happier (7/2), Cori Glory (6/1), Taygar (13/2), Nammos (15/2), Havana Rose (16/1), Petra Celera (20/1)

A few in with a squeak but HAPPIER turned in her best effort of the season when fifth at Ripon just under a fortnight ago and, now trying 7f for the first time, she should be spot on. Cue's Beau is 2-2 on turf but she may have to settle for silver on this occasion, with handicap-debutante Lokana rounding off the shortlist.
