Mr Globetrotter³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 69| BF

7/4

Has been mixing hurdling (0/5 in that sphere) with his Flat runs and was a winner on the AW over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton in March off a mark of 62. Placed on his only subsequent outing at Redcar over a similar trip he looked to find a mark of 66 tough for him and races off 3lb more here.

Form: 8/98-313

Lady Clitico^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Nathan Evans| T: R Menzies| OR: 67

7/2

Up in trip and down 3lb were the keys to her winning last time at Catterick and that saw her well on top at the finish of that event. Not a particularly strong race but she is still well treated on her old form and the cheekpieces that returned last time are retained here.

Form: 80-5851

Jonny Delta³

Age: 10| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Mooney⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 56| CD

6/5

Old stager who has returned to form of late on the Flat and took advantage of a lowly mark when winning at Ayr on his penultimate start over 1m5f. Off a 4lb mark last time he still showed up well to finish third with the front two rather getting first run on him and that could be the case again here.

Form: 667-213

Schmooze³⁶⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: Miss Leanne Ferguson⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 52

20/1

Stable have yet to hit their stride this year and so has she not really getting going yet and not sure to be suited by the way this is likely to be run. Has a modest record around here and will be better at Hamilton once the yard strike some form.

Forecasts

Sebastian's Wish (11/10), Jonny Delta (6/5), Mr Globetrotter (7/4), Lady Clitico (7/2), Schmooze (20/1)

Despite the 12lb higher mark SEBASTIAN'S WISH still looks like he is improving and acts well around this course which suits his front running style. The rise in the weights makes life tough for Mr Globetrotter and it may well be Lady Clitico that leads home the rest with Jonny Delta bustling up the principals on a track that he acts well on.
