Poor Relation³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 68

11/2

Second in maiden at Southwell on all-weather in January and best not judged too harshly on next 2 outings given testing conditions. Should prove suited by this trip and no surprise if she was to show much more making handicap debut on a much firmer surface.

Form: 5-237

Crimson Rambler^b²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: M Crawley| OR: 67

4/1

Placed 3 of last 4 starts, including when second here over 1m in April for George Scott and third of 10 over same trip in a handicap at Newmarket 29 days ago. Now steps back up to 1¼m and looks likely to run his race.

Del Corso¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ashley Lewis⁽⁵⁾| T: E Walker| OR: 66

2/5

Three placed efforts in last 4 handicap starts, most recently with a good second of 4 at Newbury 16 days ago, having the run of the race. Now steps up in trip but could again be well placed how this unfolds and has the assistance of a good-value claimer so boasts leading claims.

Form: 66-3342

Forecasts

Del Corso (2/5), Crimson Rambler (4/1), Poor Relation (11/2), Miss Pretty (11/2)

DEL CORSO is proving consistent and has a little more potential than the exposed Crimson Rambler so that could swing this contest in favour of Ed Walker's runner. Poor Relation is no lost cause either if firmer ground brings about progress.
