Rajbello^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 55

11/1

Modest form across his qualifying runs and has failed to improve switched to handicaps this season, the form of his penultimate run far from solid.

Form: 774-558

Emerald Coast^p1²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ross Coakley| T: H Palmer| OR: 55

33/1

Had the run of things when third at Chester on debut and has struggled since. New trip/headgear now tried on return.

Ethereal Charm³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Taylor Fisher| T: Daisy Hitchins| OR: 55

12/1

Modest form at best in 3 starts in maiden/novice events and always behind on handicap debut/return.

Form: 747-0

Shirakawa¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 55

9/1

Hard to draw too many positives from her qualifying runs at Kempton and failed to improve switched to a handicap at Windsor 2 weeks ago. However, was at least competitive for a long way that day and drop back in trip can help.

Form: 0747

Us Officer^v²⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 54

16/1

Struggled in maidens but at least made much more of an impact when fourth of 5 at Chepstow on second run in a nursery. Off 9 months.

Form: 84674-

Castlekeely³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: James Owen| OR: 53

4/1

Down the field in 3 novices at 2 yrs for Eve Johnson Houghton and little promise switched to handicaps this season.

Form: 796-087

(2)

Atalanta Mist²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 53

3/1

Similar form when placed in handicaps here last 2 starts, looking one paced despite the longer trip over C&D 23 days ago. However, that form is decent for the grade so she can make her presence felt again.

Form: 399-533

(4)

Mali Star^p1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Bass| T: J Channon| OR: 53| BF

4/1

No threat at 2 yrs but seemed unlucky not to win here (1m) on return, meeting trouble before finishing with a flourish. A tad underwhelming when close third over same C&D a week later but worth another chance given more of a break this time. Likely to stay/headgear on.

Form: 7056-33

(11)

Maryland Star³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: D K Ivory| OR: 52

20/1

Best effort in maidens when third at Wolverhampton on return, some headway after racing freely. Ridden inefficiently over longer trip on handicap debut there next time so worth another chance back down in distance.

Form: 005-38

(14)

Three Builders^h⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 52

22/1

Well held in 3 starts last year and similar story at Yarmouth on handicap bow/return.

Form: 037-7

(6)

Skyolaire^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 48

20/1

Little form in 3 runs over 6f as a 2-y-o. Bit more of an impact in handicaps here this season but not enough to make her of interest. Headgear on.

Form: 658-45

(9)

Elora Prince⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joe Leavy| T: A Wintle| OR: 46

13/2

Poor efforts 3 of 4 starts this year but on a fair mark on the pick of his form in Ireland for Kieran Patrick Cotter so worth a second look stepping up in trip on debut for in-form yard.

Form: 00-0489

(1)

A Daughters Love³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D Flood| OR: 45

66/1

No form in 7 starts.

Form: 008-070

Forecasts

Atalanta Mist (3/1), Mali Star (4/1), Castlekeely (4/1), Elora Prince (13/2), Shirakawa (9/1), Rajbello (11/1), Ethereal Charm (12/1), Us Officer (16/1), New Objective (16/1), Skyolaire (20/1), Maryland Star (20/1), Three Builders (22/1), Emerald Coast (33/1), A Daughters Love (66/1)

MALI STAR was unlucky not to make a winning return here in April and can make amends at the second attempt given longer between his races this time. Atalanta Mist is next best ahead of Elora Prince and Shirakawa.
