Miss Tiger Lily¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: L Morris| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 68

6/1

Two time course winner who has won from a 3lb higher mark than this (in 2013) but the suspicion is she's better over a bit shorter and not much wiggle room in her mark.

Form: 2-23242

(3)

Shalimah^v⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 66

14/1

Out of form of late and while he's not handicapped out of things, he's a suspect stayer over this distance.

Form: 556664-

(6)

Forced Family Fun^h¹⁷¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: S J Drowne| T: George Baker| OR: 65

25/1

Shown very little for this yard and failed to beat a rival home in two December outings (one Flat, one hurdles). Well being has to be in question now.

Form: 249-459

(1)

Fennann^b¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: Miss N L-Beavis| OR: 64

66/1

C&D winner but hasn't been since December 2014. and percentage call suggests he will be in need of the run. First run for this yard who have had just one winner in the last year on the Flat.

Form: 0414/98

(9)

Night Generation^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: C Gordon| OR: 64

50/1

Reeled off a hat-trick in 2015 for Sir Mark Prescott, including one win over C&D and shaped like he was going to make a smart stayer. However he's not won since leaving that stable and three very disappointing starts for this yard.

Form: 008-532

(2)

Aurora Gray³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Baker| T: H Morrison| OR: 69

5/4

Inconsistent filly who finally got her head front over C&D last time. The step up in trip seemed to bring out some improvement and 5lb rise seems fair so she warrants respect.

Form: 429206

(5)

Lady Of Yue^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: E Stanford| OR: 61

10/1

Has failed to win since November 2014 and not even particularly well-handicapped on that form. Usually gives her running but probably in need of more relief from the handicapper.

Form: 55243-6

(7)

Dltripleseven²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 63

3/1

Quirky type who's raced keenly and has missed the break on occasions. Less exposed than many of these and entitled to score in apprentice race two starts back over C&D. While he did that well enough, he's probably vulnerable for win purposes here.

Form: 615441

(8)

Trust The Man²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 50

10/1

Still a maiden but seems to get better with every step up in trip. Should win races at some point and looks capable of getting involved here off a lowly mark.

Form: 0-40856

Forecasts

Aurora Gray (5/4), Dltripleseven (3/1), Miss Tiger Lily (6/1), Lady Of Yue (10/1), Trust The Man (10/1), Shalimah (14/1), Forced Family Fun (25/1), Night Generation (50/1), Fennann (66/1)

AURORA GRAY lost her maiden tag last time out when scoring over C&D and a 5lb rise looks fair so she's taken to record back-to-back wins. Trust The Man has started to find his feet for this yard and talented claimer Aaron Jones is booked who's well worth his 3lb claim. Dltripleseven is only a four-year-old and may be able to build on his last Flat outing. 1. Aurora Gray 2. Trust The Man 3. Dltripleseven
