15/2

Dual winner last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Doncaster (6f, firm) 28 days ago, too free. 4 lb lower and should find his form again.

Form: 419-580

Doctor Vuby¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73

15/2

Off 3 months and 25/1, below form twelfth of 19 in "3YO Dash" handicap at Epsom (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago, hampered at the start and looking ill at ease on the track. This is easier and worth another chance.

Form: 624-220

Winged Messenger^h1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 72| D

7/2

Signed off 2-y-o campaign in the perfect fashion at Hamilton (5f). 8/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good) 38 days ago, caught wide. Better judged on Thirsk third on return and one to consider back in trip in first-time hood.

Form: 9221-30

Stash The Cash¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 69| D

5/2

Winner at Catterick in April. 10/1, second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 14 days ago, no match for impressive winner Pilgrim. Probably nothing as good as that one in this field.

Form: 45-1892

Forecasts

Mutamanni (2/1), Stash The Cash (5/2), Winged Messenger (7/2), Master Of My Fate (6/1), Midnight Lir (15/2), Doctor Vuby (15/2)

MUTAMANNI will need to improve to defy his opening mark now handicapping, but there is a good chance he will and he makes most appeal as the least exposed in this field. Stash The Cash found only the useful Pilgrim too good at Musselburgh and is perhaps the danger having been dropped 1 lb.
