Selected odds by:
Dead-heated over C&D in March for previous connections and scored again here over 7f on penultimate start. Below-par latest but can't be ruled out at a track where she generally runs with credit.
0-7 at this track to date but comes here fresh after a break and has prospects of current mark if on a 'going' day. Decent apprentice booked and might go well.
Two wins from last four starts in recent weeks and latest poor effort can be forgiven after missing the break badly. Hold-up performer with definite chance if jumping off broadly on terms despite climbing handicap mark.
All four career wins have come on turf but has proven less capable on the A/W tracks (0-14). First start for new trainer who does particularly well with other yard's cast-offs so interesting to see how she fares now.
Won twice over 7f at Wolverhampton in January for previous handler and question mark over whether this shorter trip suits after running badly over C&D for new connections last time. Hard to fancy.
Nicely bred colt but remains a maiden after 13 starts. Has been runner-up though on three of his last six outings and went close on two of those efforts. First visit to this track so change of scenery may help.
Has won here four times, once over C&D. Generally better at minimum trip but is in fair form after solid efforts last two starts Cannot be ruled out despite being 1lb out of the handicap.
Desperately out of form and runs from a massive 14lb out of the handicap. Very hard to recommend and hasn't won for nearly three years.

Forecasts
Bahamian Heights (9/4), Fredricka (3/1), Excellent George (5/1), Arnarson (5/1), Courier (6/1), Red Stripes (9/1), Firesnake (25/1), Gold Flash (33/1), Seraphima (100/1)
Things have to fall just right for BAHAMIAN HEIGHTS who tends to break slowly then have to work his way through the field. Has done so twice in recent starts and is in good form, so should run well once agin. Arnason is interesting on his first visit here and has gone close of late, and both Courier and Fredricka have claims on their best form. The other to consider is Excellent George who will be fresher than most.
- Bahamian Heights
- Arnarson
