4/1

Bagged 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) in January. Might have found the run coming too soon when well held at Southwell 8 days later. Given a break ahead of this return to turf. Enters calculations.

Form: 46-4219

Motawaared¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 63

5/1

Doesn't entirely straightforward but has left the impression he's building up to something on most starts for this yard, nearest at the finish when fifth of 11 over 1m at Hamilton in first-time cheekpieces (off now) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 67-7765

Naturalia¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁵⁾| T: D W Whillans| OR: 62

4/1

Won small-field handicap at Ayr (13f) last summer and arrives on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts over 11f at Carlisle in recent weeks. Doesn't have a great strike-rather but she's at the top of her game at present.

Form: 0-29622

Rosemary May^h⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55

7/1

Won a 1m Ayr maiden last spring. Has mostly struggled in handicaps since but showed better signs stepped up in trip at Ripon last week, finishing third of 8 over 1¼m. Able to run off 5 lb lower here so should have a big say if building on that now up in trip again.

Form: 88-0893

Gemini Man²⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 52

9/4

Has 2 wins and a second to from his three attempts at classified races on all-weather this year, bouncing back from a poor run over hurdles to see off 12 rivals at Newcastle (1¼m) 3 weeks ago. Bit more on his plate now handicapping back on turf.

Form: 225-121

Sophiesticate¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: William Pyle| T: R M Smith| OR: 52| CD

7/1

Ended losing run in C&D handicap last summer for Jim Goldie. Yet to find her best form for this stable but latest sixth of 11 at Hamilton (1½m, good) was a step back in the right direction.

Form: 3877-76

Forecasts

Gemini Man (9/4), Naturalia (4/1), Time Turner (4/1), Motawaared (5/1), Sophiesticate (7/1), Rosemary May (7/1), Star Of Markinch (33/1)

ROSEMARY MAY's recent Ripon third was a big step back in the right direction and, from 5 lb lower, she's given a chance to build on it now up in trip again. Naturalia rates an obvious threat on the back of 2 runner-up efforts at Carlisle, while Motawaared appeals as one likely to pop up for Jim Goldie before too long.
