1/4

Lightly-raced gelding. 11/10, creditable third of 16 in novice at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Sets a pretty decent standard and, provided he takes to this surface, he should get the job done.

Form: 55343

7/2

Twice-raced gelding. 11/4, fifth of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Entitled to have a say in the finish.

200/1

Twice-raced gelding. 200/1, ninth of 11 in novice at this course (7f) 21 days ago and another struggle is on the cards.

Foaled March 10. €10,000 foal, 17,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 6f Threebagsfull and winner up to 1m Innvincible Friend. Likely to come on for the run.

40/1

Once-raced filly. Seventh of 11 in novice (100/1) at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago. Big step forward needed.

Form: 7

12/1

Twice-raced filly. 10/3, third of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, slowly away. River Spey is clearly the stable first-string.

Form: 43

(6)

Queen Kassi¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S D Bowen| T: Ollie Sangster

66/1

Once-raced filly. 15/2, eighth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 19 days ago and will need to leave that well behind if she's to emerge on top here.

Form: 8

Forecasts

River Spey (1/4), One And Gone (7/2), Melodical (12/1), Bellini Spirit (40/1), Rib Shot (66/1), Queen Kassi (66/1), Jooliah (200/1)

Though RIVER SPEY failed to reproduce the form of his solid Goodwood and York efforts when third in a big-field Thirsk novice last month, he wasn't discredited by any means, particularly bearing in mind that he had to make his effort widest of the first three home. If he takes to the all-weather at the first attempt he should prove much too good for his six rivals. One And Gone and the selection's stablemate Melodical can fill the places.
