Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Adam J McNamara⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73| D

6/1

Successful three times so far including when a head winner of a 1m2f handicap on the AW at Newcastle last September. Well beaten over around 1m4f this season and likely to appreciate this drop in trip.

Form: 7143-95

Maulesden May⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P Makin| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 69| C

5/2

Twice run well on the Flat so far this season including when beaten 2½L into second over 1m1f at Carlisle (good) earlier this week. Step back up to 1m2f looks likely to suit and is an interesting runner having won off a 1lb lower mark here on her only start here so far.

Form: 4205-32

Celestation³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

7/4

Broke her maiden at the fourth attempt when winning over 7f at Chester (good-to-soft) in September last year. Disappointed at Nottingham (good-to-soft) last time out and the forecast quicker ground here looks likely to suit.

Form: 451-238

Lucy's Law³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: A Mullen| T: T P Tate| OR: 69

9/4

Sole success came off a 10lb lower mark on the AW at Newcastle over 1m last September. Beaten 4L into second on her first attempt at this distance at Ripon (good) a month ago and likely to prove competitive once more.

Form: 551-622

Forecasts

Celestation (7/4), Lucy's Law (9/4), Maulesden May (5/2), Island Flame (6/1)

MAULESDEN MAY has run well off this mark the last twice including over this distance at Ayr last month and can register her second success at this track at the chief expense of Lucy's Law, runner-up the last twice including on her first start over this distance at Ripon last month. Celestation disappointed last time out and can claim third ahead of the top weight Island Flame here.
