Back Tomorrow¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P J McDonald| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 49

11/4

Better on AW (all 5 wins) but has shown ability in turf sprints. Turned in one of her better turf efforts when third of 7 in a handicap at Ayr (9/1) 12 days ago, slowly into stride but plugged on late. Solid claims if reproducing that effort.

Better^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell| T: P T Midgley| OR: 50| D

5/1

Has shown promise in 5f races, finishing second in a conditions race at Nottingham. Seventh of 9 in first-time blinkers at Ripon (11/2) 11 days ago, never had clear run when looking to improve in final 2f. Starting issues remain a concern but capable when things fall right.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: S Whitaker| OR: 46

12/1

Forecasts

Back Tomorrow (11/4), Better (5/1), Doralee (6/1), Arlington (6/1), Sanbona (13/2), Mission In Malton (9/1), Ziva's Star (12/1), Blackcurrent (12/1), Desert Master (16/1), Birdie Bowers (16/1), Brazen Belle (50/1)

BACK TOMORROW has shown her best on the all-weather (all 5 wins) but produced a more encouraging effort on turf when third at Ayr 12 days ago and should be bang there with a repeat. Better has shown promise in 5f races but starting issues remain a concern. Arlington ran well when second at Ripon recently and must enter calculations, too.
