Mubhij²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Varian| C

5/4

Modest start to his career over 7f at Kempton; showed improved form to score here over 7f on his second start (strong in the betting). Travelled well in that race (bit left at the end) and should improve again under his penalty; first try at 6f.

Form: 71

Bertilatethannever^h⁸⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Aspell| T: Mrs Stella Barclay

250/1

Went with little fluency on his debut here over 1m and fared little better in a first-time hood at Wolverhampton (last of 13) over much the same trip. First run for this yard but faces a very stiff task and hard to recommend.

Form: 70

(7)

Queens Gift¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez⁽³⁾| T: M Dods| D

2/1

Successful on her debut having attracted support at Ripon (6f, good) she was dropped in trip for her next start. Couldn't quite cope with 5f at Beverley and although she bettered her debut form she found one too quick; better back over 6f plus.

Form: 12

Kyllachy Dragon⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: I Jardine| OR: 81

11/4

Yet to win a race but knocking on the door (runner-up three times) with the latest second coming in a Doncaster handicap (6f, soft); winner won again since. Ought to be able to win a race of this nature although had just the one run on the AW so far.

Form: 6232-32

(5)

Meadow Way¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby

33/1

Given his debut over 1m at Carlisle in a race where the odds-on favourite disappointed that still looks fair form he looked very much one for the longer term. Now brought back in trip and onto the AW he won't be of interest this side of handicaps.

Form: 6

Warton^h1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho

25/1

Should have come on for what was a debut that showed some promise when next seen at Hamilton but went backwards despite only starting at 4/1. Now tried on the AW for the first time but more needed to win this after a below-par last run.

Form: 49

(8)

Magichull

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: J L Eyre

100/1

Stable not known for winners in this sphere especially on debut and this daughter of Dabbers Ridge out of a dam who won at up to 1m3f (also won over hurdles) is best watched here.

Forecasts

Mubhij (5/4), Queens Gift (2/1), Kyllachy Dragon (11/4), Grise Lightning (6/1), Warton (25/1), Meadow Way (33/1), Magichull (100/1), Bertilatethannever (250/1)

One or two in this who look capable sorts with Kyllachy Dragon one of those, especially as he’s looked a little unfortunate in handicaps of late although that’s where his best chance may lie. Both Mubhij and Queens Gift carry penalties for earlier wins with the former already showing that he can handle this surface having won here over 7f. The latter of that duo will appreciate a return to 6f after not having enough pace to catch a speedy rival at Beverley last time. GRISE LIGHTNING may have taken a bit of a sideways step on her second outing but the form of her debut reads well and she showed that she was at home on this surface last time where a lack of pace proved her downfall.
