Magnolia^t¹⁰^{(ex 7)}

Age: 6| Weight: 12-2| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 110

2/1

French import who has continued her progression this season, winning back-to-back handicaps at Kelso (16.2f) with ease, latterly when keener than ideal 10 days ago. Has form over this longer trip and she makes plenty of appeal to land the hat-trick under a penalty.

Form: 6532-11

Kientzheim²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: R P McLernon| T: B Haslam| OR: 115

14/1

Dual bumper winner in France at the start of 2024. Made a winning hurdle debut for Nicky Henderson in December but form went the wrong way. Offered little on first start for Ben Haslam last month and only considered if the market expects improvement now upped in trip.

Form: 1/1340-6

Parisian Fashion¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 106| D

10/3

Successful Irish pointer finished third behind Feach Amach/Magnolia on final start last season and caught the eye when fourth on return at Newcastle earlier this month, meeting interference at a crucial stage and still having running left at the line. Could make a bold bid from the front.

Form: 43413-4

Feach Amach^t,p³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol| OR: 104| D

10/1

Got the better of Magnolia/Feach Amach when landing a double at Perth in April. Resumed winning ways at Kelso the following month and likely needed the run back in open company on reappearance last month. Ought to be closer to form here.

Form: 411-316

Lowlands²²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 99

10/3

Had shown promise prior to posting her best effort to date when no match for subsequent winner in a 5-runner novice at Sedgefield (19.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Should improve now sent handicapping for yard having a good time of things this month.

Form: 459-42

Theirshegoes¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Thomson| OR: 98| CD

20/1

Latest win came on this card last year when successful in a conditional jockeys' handicap. Held his form for the rest of the season but made an underwhelming return (had gone well fresh in the past) at Newcastle 2 weeks ago. Best to look elsewhere with yard still going through a quiet spell.

Form: 34F-329

Lizzie Luna²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: Craig Nichol| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 97| CD

13/2

Landed sole success in a mares' maiden over C&D in February but disappointing in handicaps all 4 starts since, folding tamely from 2 out at Hexham latest. Something to prove now.

Form: 41PP-05

Forecasts

Magnolia (2/1), Lowlands (10/3), Parisian Fashion (10/3), Lizzie Luna (13/2), Feach Amach (10/1), Kientzheim (14/1), Theirshegoes (20/1)

MAGNOLIA arrives on the up and can defy a penalty to land the hat-trick, providing she settles back over a longer trip. Parisian Fashion made a pleasing comeback at Newcastle and looks the main danger, especially if getting her own way in front. Of the rest, handicap debutante Lowlands' recent second has been given a boost, while Feach Amach finished ahead of Magnolia/Parisian Fashion earlier in the year and cannot be discounted if back on song returned to mares' company.
