20/1

First run since leaving Ado McGuinness in Ireland when fourth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Beverley (1½m, good to firm) 27 days ago, leading until inside final 1f. This shorter trip might suit.

Coloane¹³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: Roger Fell| OR: 50

3/1

Sole win came under Billy Loughnane last summer. Caught too far back when fifth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.5f, good to soft) in April. Off since but the booking of Loughnane suggests she could be primed for a bold bid.

Form: 5223-55

Sassy Glory¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: M Walford| OR: 49

7/4

Remains a maiden after 21 runs but has been runner-up in similar races on her last 3 starts. Should go well again.

Form: 983222

Tiberio Force^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: S Whitaker| OR: 46| D

11/2

Sole win came over 3 years ago but he has been knocking on the door lately, including third of 7 in C&D handicap (good to firm) under Paul Mulrennan 9 days ago.

Yellow Lemons^p1¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Scott| OR: 47

40/1

Poor maiden. 66/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (1½m, good to firm) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 40-6760

Bebside^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50

9/1

Has struggled for form in cheekpieces this year, slowly away and never a threat when fourth of 5 at Beverley latest. A change of headgear (blinkers he wore last year back on) needs to spark a revival.

Form: 506704

Heartened^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 46

20/1

Modest maiden. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (1m, good to firm, 7/2) 16 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 857374

(9)

Sweet Cicely^p²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: M E Sowersby| OR: 47

33/1

Remains a maiden after 16 runs. Below par when fifth of 6 in C&D handicap (good to firm) 27 days ago and has yet to prove she's as effective on turf as AW.

Form: 447445

Forecasts

Sassy Glory (7/4), Coloane (3/1), Tiberio Force (11/2), Arranmore (15/2), Bebside (9/1), Bay Of Australia (16/1), Heartened (20/1), Accwest (20/1), Sweet Cicely (33/1), Yellow Lemons (40/1)

COLOANE has a win and close second to show from the 2 occasions she's been partnered by Billy Loughnane and may ensure Sassy Glory has to settle for the runner-up spot again. Tiberio Force has been running well in defeat lately and is another who could play a prominent role.
