Kilbaha Lady⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 68| D

4/1

Proved consistent before addition of cheekpieces produced improvement to win at Redcar over this trip. With the headgear removed she was back to her previous level at Pontefract and surprise to see them not reapplied here.

Form: 323414

Dark Devil^p²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

9/2

Three wins from 30 starts and now 12lb below the last of them coming way back in September 2017. Likely needs a fair amount of rain to be seen at his best and an improvement on three runs this year.

Form: 40-0867

(6)

Glacier Fox¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: T Eaves| T: T P Tate| OR: 67| CD

7/2

Made all to win off 2lb lower over this C&D last month and just a bit below that on softer ground at Nottingham subsequently. Remains lightly-raced and open to improvement providing the ground stays dry. Likely leading contender.

Form: 852-315

Whatwouldyouknow³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Philip Prince| T: R C Guest| OR: 66| CD

5/2

Three-time winner at Wolverhampton on the AW and sole turf win came over this C&D. Kept on well for a fourth behind Glacier Fox here last start and is still progressing. Likely to go well again.

Form: 24117-4

Bollin Ted²²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| CD

6/1

Regular visitor here with four of five career wins coming over this C&D including in this race last year off 4lb lower. Last win came off just 1lb lower and while he's better suited by better ground his reappearance made it two poor runs in a row.

Form: 333190-

Orobas^v⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 62| D

12/1

Remains 3lb higher than last of three wins, with two coming on the AW and one with cut in the ground. Should be better for two runs back but rain would help and others likely better handicapped.

Form: 001756

(3)

Bob's Girl^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: C Lee| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a 14-race maiden and hasn't really threatened a breakthrough success. Finished last season poorly and has continued that run in two efforts this campaign. Remains best watched.

Form: 5400-40

Forecasts

Whatwouldyouknow (5/2), Billy Roberts (3/1), Glacier Fox (7/2), Kilbaha Lady (4/1), Dark Devil (9/2), Bollin Ted (6/1), Orobas (12/1), Bob's Girl (50/1)

Providing there isn't significant rain GLACIER FOX looks the one to beat and he's open to significant improvement should the conditions remain favourable. Whatwouldyouknow has a bit to go to reverse form with his rival but likes it here and can chase him home again. Kilbaha Lady is reliable and therefore respected at this level.
