Ainne^p,t²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: S Kirk| OR: 50| D

33/1

Winner at Kempton (7f) three starts ago, didn't stay at Nottingham the time after but latest last of 15 here takes more explaining away. Bit to prove now.

Form: 989190

(9)

Nicky Baby^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 49| CD

5/1

Comes into this in great form after two good runs over C&D, successful on one of them back in April. Clear chances of getting back on the win trail, especially if getting a decent pace to aim at.

Form: 687612

(5)

Blyton Lass²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 49| BF| C

5/1

Has been running okay of late, mainly over further, and does have a course win to her name, so has a few plus points, but no saying this drop back to a mile is going to produce a better effort.

Form: 6-35454

(3)

Cool Echo^p²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 48

14/1

Last win came in this grade, and will appreciate the drop in class, but not in any great form at present and probably happier at 7f. Has a bit to do.

Form: 4-10066

(14)

Tellovoi^p¹⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 9-5| J: B Doyle| T: R C Guest| OR: 48| CD

14/1

Not the most consistent but capable on his day, and did come good over 6f here in April. Stays this far, but an awful draw to overcome, and others make more appeal.

Form: 691456

(13)

Navarra Princess¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: D E Cantillon| OR: 47

12/1

Well behind Tellovoi here in April but produced a better effort upped to a mile at Yarmouth last time, finishing third. Poor draw to overcome but has place chances all the same.

Form: 9606-83

(8)

Casey Banter²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 47

7/1

Running with a degree of consistency at present, although finds getting her head in front hard (as an overall record of 1-15 shows). No problem with the trip/surface and should give a fair account of herself.

Form: 30-8334

(6)

Freddy With A Y⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 47

33/1

Like many of these, finds winning tough (5 wins in 68 starts) but does at least come into this off the back of a better effort at Kempton last time, However, seems happier at shorter, so passed over today.

Form: 6900-93

(4)

Gulland Rock¹⁶⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Tate| T: A Carson| OR: 47

22/1

Not seen out since last December and wasn't in and great form at the time, so needs to have turned things around after a break. Looks unlikely.

Form: 973460-

(10)

Luath²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: N Mackay| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 46| D

6/1

Looks about ready to win one again after a series of decent efforts but that might be back at his beloved Southwell, where he seems happiest. Others make more appeal today.

Form: 93-7652

(2)

Seaquinn⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 45

8/1

No win in 14 starts but his the frame over this C&D two starts ago, a run that would give her a chance of finally getting off the mark if she can repeat it.

Form: 5-68025

(12)

Merdon Castle²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: R Winston| T: Frank Bishop| OR: 45| C

7/1

Just the three wins in 47 starts but one of them came here, so has that going for him, and wasn't beaten far over 10f here last time out. Poor draw to cheat but not out of it if he can.

Form: 08-5643

(15)

Eternal Destiny¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 45

33/1

Going nowhere quickly at present and the only positive could be the change of yard, but all the same makes little appeal.

Form: 43750-0

(11)

Percy Toplis^b,h⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: E J Walsh| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45| D

20/1

Only the two wins in 42 starts rather shows the issue, and despite putting in one of his better efforts at Yarmouth last week, is usually beatable and makes little appeal.

Form: 979404

Could Be Gold^h1⁴³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Danny Brock| T: J Butler| OR: 45

20/1

Shown next to nothing in three runs, and unless the addition of hood today turns things around, hard to see why he should do any better today.

Form: 08/6-

Forecasts

Nicky Baby (5/1), Blyton Lass (5/1), Luath (6/1), Casey Banter (7/1), Merdon Castle (7/1), Seaquinn (8/1), Navarra Princess (12/1), Cool Echo (14/1), Tellovoi (14/1), Percy Toplis (20/1), Could Be Gold (20/1), Brecqhou Island (20/1), Gulland Rock (22/1), Ainne (33/1), Eternal Destiny (33/1), Freddy With A Y (33/1)

As ever in these Class 7 contests, it's quantity rather than quality, and only a handful have claims to the top prize. NICKY BABY has far less to prove than plenty of these, and there seems no reason why he won't at least run his race. Casey Banter, Navarra Princess and the unexposed Brecqhou Island all make some appeal for the places, with the last named not needing a lot more than he's shown so far to be a threat.
