Selected odds by:
17 race maiden and beaten into seventh off a mark of 48 over 7f at Musselburgh (good-to-firm) last time out. Others look more likely today.
Finished last on debut over 6f on soft ground here last month but showed marked improvement when beaten ½L into second over 7f on good-to-firm ground at Thirsk ten days later. Interesting contender for a yard with an 18% strike-=rate of late (4/22).
Dam placed in Group company as a juvenile but has shown little in two starts over 1m and 1m1f so far. Probably best watched in this.
Well beaten in two outings so far most recently when dropping to 5f on good-to-firm ground at Beverley earlier this month. Finished 20L tenth of 11 over 7f prior to that.
Run three solid races so far though slightly disappointing when beaten into fifth as favourite on the AW at Chelmsford over 6f last time out. Finished a close third over an extended 1m at Nottingham (good-to-firm) when making her debut in May on his only turf start to date.
Slowly away and encountered issues in running when beaten 10L into seventh in an 11 runner AW maiden at Wolverhampton last month. Yard have a 23% strike-rate of late (3/13) and worth a check in the market here.
Well held in all four outings to date including in a handicap over 5f at Redcar (good-to-firm) off a mark of 46 last time out. Steps up in trip today.
Signs of ability as a two-year-old but well held on seasonal debut in a 6f handicap at Ripon (good-to-firm) two months ago. Likely needs to step up on that effort if she's to take this.

Forecasts
Khitaamy (6/5), Dandys Denouement (9/4), Outfox (11/2), Hamriyah (9/1), Monsieur Mel (20/1), Diamond Avalanche (25/1), Delegation (25/1), Tap On The Bar (33/1), Kulgri (40/1)
KHITAAMY sets the standard in this 7f maiden and he can register a first success at the fourth time of asking. Ed Dunlop's charge ran well at Nottingham on his debut and should have no problems with the forecast ground conditions today. Dandys Denouement showed marked improvement from his debut when finishing runner-up last time and represents a yard who have been in the winners in recent times while Monsieur Mel is another who's yard have tasted success of late and he can put a disappointing debut behind him by finishing third in this.
