Fortune And Glory¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J Quinn| T: J Tuite

16/1

Already looks in need of further based on his two starts to date, merely plugging on from the rear at Windsor last time out. Surface may help but plenty to find, and only of interest if strong in market.

Form: 58

(4)

Jabbarockie²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Neil Farley| T: E J Alston| OR: 65

3/1

There's a couple of his efforts that put him right in the firing line here, and he showed bright speed at Thirsk last time out only to be collared late. Well drawn here and good chance of taking to Fibresand on pedigree.

Form: 727-203

(8)

Be Be King¹²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

11/8

Good sprinting pedigree and will no doubt improve on his seventh at Lingfield on debut there in April. Slightly concerning he's not been seen since then but yard going well again and he's not ruled out.

Form: 7

(7)

Faulkwood⁴⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Ffrench| T: K R Burke

12/1

Promise as a 2-y-o when fourth in a maiden at York (frm has worked out well) but not out for over a year now, which asks questions about his wellbeing. Chances on form but that absence too big a worry.

Form: 94-

Bithynia^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: C N Kellett| OR: 62

25/1

Good run when just touched off at Nottingham in May but it's all gone backwards since then, and she gave up the ghost pretty quickly on latest effort. Fibresand surface may suit but she needs to bounce back to her best to hold a chance.

Form: 402687

Dollywaggon Pike⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J R Jenkins

66/1

Has done little in two starts to suggest she will be troubling the principals here, and yard continue out of form.

Form: 76

(3)

Ejabah⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Smith| OR: 48

50/1

Has already had a couple of tries on the surface (in the Spring) and pulled up no trees on either start. Hard to fancy in current form, which seems to be getting progressively worse.

Form: 68-6477

(2)

Golden Easter^p1,h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 67| BF

5/1

Clearly has ability but equally has her quirks, and has already been beaten at odds on. Well drawn here for one that has speed though, and if the new combination of headgear can get her on the level, she's every chance. Risky, but shortlisted.

Form: 322-37

(6)

Proud Kate^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 42

100/1

Low grade and going nowhere fast at present, although her Yarmouth effort on soft in June suggested all is not totally lost. Even so, the cheekpieces need to have a major effect today, and she's hard to fancy.

Form: 0-09209

(5)

Sky Gypsy³⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: D H Brown| OR: 70| D

7/1

Has already been first past the post when winning final start of last year at Pontefract but was later disqualified on technical grounds (banned substance found). Sire gets winners on the surface so if ready to go after a break, must have a chance.

Form: 351-

Forecasts

Be Be King (11/8), Jabbarockie (3/1), Golden Easter (5/1), Sky Gypsy (7/1), Faulkwood (12/1), Fortune And Glory (16/1), Skadi (16/1), Bithynia (25/1), Ejabah (50/1), Dollywaggon Pike (66/1), Proud Kate (100/1)

Not strong form on offer and maybe SKY GYPSY can gain compensation for her Pontefract disqualification last year. She won the race fair and square and a repeat of that effort puts her right in the firing line here. Golden Easter has some form that makes her look interesting but she's also got her own ideas about things. If she's on her best behaviour she's not out of this, and could take some catching. Jabbarockie is another that's shown speed to date and looks booked for the places at worst.
