6f turf win last June. 7/1, bit below form when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 15 days ago. Steps up to 1m for the first time now.

Showstorm^v1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 54| BF

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on first time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 17 days ago, doing too much too soon. The drop to 1m looks a good move with a visor also tried now. Gets the vote.

Form: 046/66-

1/1

Remains a maiden after 21 runs but been knocking on the door since joining Joey Ramsden, including placing here on his last 2 starts. Another prominent showing is on the cards.

Pave The Way^t²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: M G Rimell| OR: 48

33/1

28/1, first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 28 days ago. Can only watch after that.

Saved Lizzie¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 45

18/1

Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7f) 19 days ago, nearest finish having met trouble. That was only her second start for this stable and she has handicapping scope if able to build on it.

Forecasts

Imola (1/1), Showstorm (10/3), Poke The Bear (5/1), Amarachi (12/1), Brinton (12/1), Saved Lizzie (18/1), Summer Evening (25/1), Kessaar Power (33/1), Pave The Way (33/1)

The fact SHOWSTORM has been prominent in the betting for both handicaps suggests his top yard thinks his mark is workable and the drop to 1m could suit him. Imola is in a good vein of form and seems sure to figure if over Saturday's course exertions. Poke The Bear is another likely to be on the premises.
