Proceeding (11/8), Ritchie Star (5/2), Equidae (8/1), Mudawwan (8/1), Betty Grable (9/1), Irish Minister (14/1), Cross Step (25/1), False Id (25/1), Hey Jazzy Lady (50/1), Hurricane Heidi (66/1)

Betty Grable is a likeable and consistent mare who returns to action from a 124-day absence. Nevertheless, despite the paucity of talented opposition in this Class 6 handicap, it's still a fact that she competes from a joint career-high mark. Meanwhile, the 12-race maiden Ritchie Star is closely matched with Tracy Waggott's PROCEEDING on November C&D form. However, electing to stick with more recent evidence we'll plump for the Spennymoor-trained runner who split stablemates Curfewed and Kind Review in a blanket finish here on Friday evening.
