Roll It In Glitter²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 74

16/1

14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he looks vulnerable under top-weight.

Form: 131-097

Bustaam⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 73| BF

6/1

Winner at Doncaster in March. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, soft, 7/2) 43 days ago. More than capable of playing a part in the finish if he puts his best foot forward.

Mount King^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

15/2

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 9/1) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip and, having slipped back to his last winning mark, he's dangerous to discount.

Form: 15-8477

Individualism⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 77| BF

8/13

Very good second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good, 7/4) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Huge chance off the same mark if his stamina holds now venturing beyond 1¼m for the first time.

Form: 25-2062

Naturalia²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 68| BF| C

6/1

Course winner. 9/4, creditable second of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should make her presence felt with this stiffer test likely to be in her favour.

Form: 845-312

Forecasts

Individualism (8/13), Naturalia (6/1), Bustaam (6/1), Mount King (15/2), Roll It In Glitter (16/1)

INDIVIDUALISM's stamina is far from copper-bottomed now that he moves up in trip, but he will surely prove hard to beat if he does see it out having pulled clear of the rest when going close off this mark at Hamilton last week. Bustaam is marginally preferred to the filly Naturalia for forecast purposes.
