Calling Out¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: S M Levey| T: D M Simcock| OR: 100| C

13/2

Likes this track, win and a place form two starts here, and second to Watersmeet here last February reads well. Ran better than finishing position suggested latest (got no run at crucial time) and every chance of getting back to winning ways here.

Form: 97/126-4

Pactolus^h,t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 99| C| D

13/2

Finished just in front of Calling Out at Wolverhampton last time, but held every chance after setting the pace and wasn't good enough. Possible the handicapper has him after his win last November and on that, others preferred.

Form: 43214-3

Kyllachy Gala²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: M Botti| OR: 98

3/1

Done on the nod over C&D in early December last year, and then a close third at Wolverhampton last time after trying to make all. In good form, might need a bit more here but well handicapped on old form, so that's not impossible.

Mythical Madness^v⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 94| D

8/1

Has fallen to an attractive looking mark and seems to stay this trip when there's not too much emphasis on stamina, but best efforts do come at a mile. Will drop in again when it all falls right and can't be discounted here, but others preferred.

Form: 90655-4

Easy Tiger¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: L P Keniry| T: M S Saunders| OR: 86| CD

3/1

Seemed to improve a little for the step up to this trip when a winner here last time, making all and battling on gamely. 2lb rise less of a worry than the raise in grade, as he does seem to struggle once upped in class.

Ay Ay⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 85| C| D

3/1

One win from three starts at the track, and is capable enough from this sort of mark when it all goes right for him. Fairly lightly raced and might yet have a bit more to offer, but draw not ideal for one that likes to come with a late run.

Forecasts

Ay Ay (3/1), Easy Tiger (3/1), Kyllachy Gala (3/1), Pactolus (13/2), Calling Out (13/2), Mythical Madness (8/1)

All six can be given some sort of chance. CALLING OUT is given the vote, given his liking for the place and the fact he may have got closer with a clear run last time. He can give the weight away. Kyllachy Gala is the likely pacesetter and can hold on for second, with Mythical Madness best of the rest.
