66/1

Lost her way for Johnny Murtagh but after 8 months off there were better signs on stable debut when 1¾ lengths fourth of 6 in handicap at Thirsk last summer. However, she was well positioned in a modestly-run race that day and has been absent again since. First-time tongue tie applied.

Sure And Stedfast¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 67

4/1

Showed the benefit of a recent pipe-opener when third of 10 at this course (11f, good to firm) 18 days ago, running well despite being chief sufferer when the meat in the sandwich during persistent bumping mid-race. Mark unchanged and couple well be adding to his tally.

Jujubella¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 67

6/1

Progressive in first half of last season, winning 4 times in all. Form did eventually level off and has been well behind both starts this season, though she's best not judged on her latest Ayr effort (not given at all a hard time having been left with a lot to do). Back up in trip.

Perseus Way²⁶

7/4

C&D winner last September and added a third hurdles success to her tally at Hexham (2½m, soft) last month, taking over early in straight having travelled smoothly. Would be folly to dismiss back on the level.

Gallus Norman¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62

2/1

Has returned a much-improved model this season, admittedly allowed an easy lead but looking better the further he went under hands and heels only when bolting up in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (2m, good) a fortnight ago. 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 785-21

Glasses Up¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 8-9| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| D

33/1

Veteran who recorded a course hat-trick at Ayr last spring and stepped up on his reappearance when third in handicap there (9f) last month. Rarely sparkles away from Ayr these days and failed to do so again at Musselburgh last time. Back up in trip but others preferred.

Form: 080-535

Annandale¹⁰⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| D

12/1

Made a lot more impact down in 0-55 company when second of 10 at Wolverhampton (1¾m) in February, seeing the longer trip out well with a clearer run than the day before. Returns back on turf and shouldn't be far away if ready to roll.

Forecasts

Perseus Way (7/4), Gallus Norman (2/1), Sure And Stedfast (4/1), Clansman (11/2), Jujubella (6/1), Annandale (12/1), Glasses Up (33/1), Kisiyra (66/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these, but GALLUS NORMAN seems to be making up for lost time judged on his impressive Musselburgh success a fortnight ago. A 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from following up at the expense of Sure And Stedfast, who showed the benefit of a recent pipe-opener when third here recently. The in-form Clansman can fill out third.
