Let Right Be Done^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 47

7/1

Finished third off a 1lb higher mark at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) over 1m last month and the run probably came too quick when well held five days later at Ayr. Races off a 1lb lower mark today and worth a check in the market.

Form: 8-05039

Harbour Patrol^b⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 47

10/1

Equity^b1²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: D H Brown| OR: 55

14/1

Well beaten twice over sprint distances since being gelded. Steps back up to 7f today (second of three over C&D on only previous start at this trip) and visor worn last time out is replaced by blinkers today.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55

5/2

Beaten a short-head when finishing runner-up over 7f at Ayr (good) last time out. Slowly away on that occasion and interesting as he seeks a first success following a 3lb rise for that effort.

Form: 3-83572

Kelpie Spirit⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Weymes| OR: 52

12/1

Well held in three maiden races at up to 1m2f and a similar result when sixth of 11 on handicap debut at Ayr (good-to-firm) over this distance last time. Not written off completely following a 3lb drop in the weights.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Rachel Richardson⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

14/1

Best efforts at two came over 5f including when fourth on soft ground at Redcar in October. Never involved when well beaten over 6f on her seasonal debut in April and probably best watched in first time blinkers.

Form: 82549-9

Forecasts

Magic Journey (5/2), Great Colaci (4/1), Let Right Be Done (7/1), Harbour Patrol (10/1), Devil's Guard (10/1), Ryedale Rio (10/1), Kelpie Spirit (12/1), Jessie Allan (14/1), Equity (14/1), Myllachy (14/1), Fleurtille (20/1), Tael O' Gold (25/1)

HARBOUR PATROL can register a second career success having run well over C&D early last month. The selection was showing his first signs of form in a long while on that occasion and can defeat Magic Journey who was slowly away last time out and wears cheekpieces for the first time today. Of the others Let Right Be Done placed here earlier this season and can claim third today ahead of Great Colaci.
