3/1

Cost just €1,600 but proving great value for that realtively small sum. Finished runner-up on debut in a bumper at Kelso before going one better at Musselburgh on seasonal reappearance but form of that taken a couple of knocks since. Place claims.

Form:

It's O Kay²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: O Murphy| BF

5/6

Well-bred sort who went off an even money favourite on Doncaster on debut, only to finish fourth of 15. Showed enough to suggest better may be expected and this trainer/jockey combination worthy of respect in current form. Likely to run well.

Form:

Newtown Belle^h1²⁸³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jonathon Bewley⁽³⁾| T: G Bewley

66/1

Bred for a stamina test and gave herself no chance at Hexham on debut when too keen early on. Easy to see why first-time hood is reached for but one who is likely to do better given plenty of time.

Form:

Quasha¹⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: J S Wainwright

33/1

Well beaten on debut in a conditional bumper at Ayr and yard's record below par in bumpers. Hard to fancy.

Form:

Maebh³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽⁷⁾| T: J W Mullins| C

11/4

Confirmed debut promise when winning here over 1m4½f last time out. Form of that run already franked by the third placed horse and could be worth siding with again given she's already proven in soft ground.

Form:

Alice Lisle²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: C R King| T: T D Easterby

50/1

Finished a long way behind in the bumper reopposing It's O Kay finished fourth in. Work on to turn the form with that rival alone and yard not had a bumper winner for some time (limited amount of runners). Others hold stronger claims.

Form:

Miss Hamda

Age: 4| Weight: 10-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: J R Weymes

50/1

Mastercraftsman filly, unsold at the sales. Has more of a Flat pedigree than NH here and hard to see her making a mark on debut.

Form:

Non-Runners

Rococo Style³⁴

Weight: 11-7| Age: 5

T: S Gollings J: Non Runner

Forecasts

It's O Kay (5/6), Maebh (11/4), Paper Promise (3/1), Rococo Style (7/1), Quasha (33/1), Alice Lisle (50/1), Miss Hamda (50/1), Newtown Belle (66/1)

IT'S O KAY was backed like defeat was out the question at Doncaster on debut and she can gain compensation in a weaker race here with the Champion Jockey up. Maebh has done nothing wrong in her two starts and the form of her win last month has already been boosted while Paper Promise has already proved to be a shrewd purchase by connections and can pick up more prize money here.
