10/11

Finally justified a prominent position in the betting when off the mark at the seventeenth attempt over C&D 3 weeks ago (third won next time out). Had a fair bit in hand that day so could well defy a 7 lb rise.

Form: 3-23571

25/1

Long-standing maiden but on a fair mark on the pick of his form in Ireland. Looked rusty on stable debut/return at Kempton in May but off again since. Headgear back on.

5/2

Didn't need to improve to finally get off the mark at Newmarket last month despite pulling hard. Might have found next run coming too soon and just as effective at this shorter trip. Headgear on.

Pride Eye^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: M G Rimell| OR: 52

11/1

Won at 66/1 over 1m at Southwell in January. Below par next 2 starts but shaped with promise trying this trip for the first time at Nottingham after 4 months off (held up off a slow pace) and entitled to build on that.

Form: 80-1074

Dinah Myte²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 49

5/1

Doubled her tally at Newcastle last month and confirmed her effectiveness over this trip when second at Nottingham last time. Claims off the same mark.

Long-standing and uninteresting maiden.

Forecasts

Divot (10/11), Nuptown Girl (5/2), Dinah Myte (5/1), Pride Eye (11/1), Withoutfurtherado (25/1), Pure Theory (66/1)

DIVOT finally justified market support when off the mark over C&D 3 weeks ago and his manner of victory suggests he can defy a 7 lb rise. Dinah Myte and Pride Eye proved themselves over this distance on the same card at Nottingham this month and can battle for minor honours.
