Inanna⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Amie Waugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| D

7/2

Two turf wins last autumn but has had issues at the start on AW this winter. Much more like it when third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 13/2) 6 days ago, left poorly placed given blindfold was removed late. Major player down in class.

13/2

Unreliable type. Course winner. 22/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 48 days ago. Does need everything to fall right (regular slow starter).

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁷⁾| T: C N Kellett| OR: 59| D

7/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, promising reappearance sixth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Expected to build on that.

Ramon Di Loria²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Tommie Jakes⁽³⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 57| CD

3/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Good third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) 26 days ago considering he raced freely and was denied a clear run. Remains of firm interest.

Rory⁵³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| C| D

11/1

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 4/1) 53 days ago, left poorly placed. Others more persuasive given overall profile.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 53| CD

11/2

C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 97 days but failure to settle can hold her back.

Form: 747-463

11/2

Sent off 4/1 and respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlist material back over 6f with that under his belt.

Form: 23162-4

Forecasts

Ramon Di Loria (3/1), Inanna (7/2), King Of The Jungle (5/1), Royal Duke (11/2), Giselles Izzy (11/2), Jump The Gun (13/2), White Umbrella (7/1), Rory (11/1), Agnes Grey (33/1), Bernie The Bear (50/1)

Despite being backed into favouritism, ROYAL DUKE looked a shade rusty on his Musselburgh reappearance over 5f 4 weeks ago. He was sticking at it nicely by the end though, and returned to 6f, he could be the answer. Ramon di Loria and the class-dropping mare Inanna head up the opposition.
