On a losing run but she arrives in good form, run best ignored (not best drawn and lost a cheekpiece) at Thirsk (6f) 4 weeks ago. This C&D winner enters calculations.

Winner for Julie Camacho last summer. Yet to show that form for her current yard, though not disgraced with staying-on fifth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) four weeks ago. Needs to take a step forward.

A dual 6f winner last July. Yet to fire in 4 runs this season, though poorly drawn when eighth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) four weeks ago. Handily weighted dropped another 2 lb here though. This C&D scorer is not without interest.

Course winner. Drawn wide and ridden more patiently than usual when eighth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7f) 16 days ago. Not out of things off a 2 lb lower mark.

Forecasts

Night Emperor (4/1), Mrs Trump (4/1), Valsharah (9/2), Stormy Pearl (11/2), Dolly's Delight (11/2), Due Respect (8/1), South Shore Island (11/1), Golden Prosperity (12/1), Captain Bentley (125/1)

Verdict

This is very open so it could pay to side with C&D winner MRS TRUMP. She came good last summer and has slipped to a lenient-looking mark, having been poorly drawn at Thirsk last time. Stormy Pearl is feared most as she bids to end a losing sequence, with Due Respect and Golden Prosperity also in the picture.
