Holy Hymn⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K Frost| OR: 61

14/1

Best effort to date when fifth of 13 to Empire Line in a 7f maiden at Dundalk in February, but left Joseph O'Brien after that effort, and ran poorly on debut for new yard here last time.

Form: 0-58

(3)

Firewater^p¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 60

6/1

Won a nursery at Ayr last year, but hasn't fired fully this season, and again ran no more than respectably when eighth of 11 to Patchouli at Ripon last time. On the plus side, she has now fallen to her last winning mark.

Form: 417-488

(4)

Blue Beirut⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: W R Muir| OR: 58

5/1

Hasn't made much impact on qualifying runs, but seemed to do a little better when eighth of 11 to Emirates Empire in maiden at Wolverhampton last time, and wouldn't need to improve massively to get involved. Market will be informative.

Form: 668

(5)

Mukha Magic^v1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 58

9/2

Seemed to appreciate the step back in trip to 1m1f at Lingfield on a fast surface two weeks ago. Not disgraced on only soft ground appearance as a two-year-old, and chances if he can back up that latest effort in a first-time visor.

Form: 890-573

(2)

Tails I Win^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 57

5/1

Stepped up markedly on AW form, and looked unlucky not to finish closer when 2½L fourth of 13 to Champagne Terri in a 1m1f handicap at Carlisle last time. Similar conditions to contend with here, and he's entitled to make a bold bid.

Form: 7-53004

(7)

Legend Island³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 57

6/1

Expensive purchase who showed ability in qualifying runs, but hasn't gone on in a couple of handicaps at up to 1m. Should stay this trip on breeding, but isn't easy to fancy on recent efforts.

Form: 847-77

(11)

George Formby^h1⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer| OR: 56

10/1

Showed a bit on debut, but not progressed as yet. Still early days, though, and hardly a great shock to see him fare better in a hood now handicapping at a lowly level.

Form: 700

(8)

Chance Of Glory²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 50

8/1

Looked to have ability when fourth on debut at Chelmsford, but has done nothing else of note, and punters only really have his trainer's reputation to hang on to.

Form: 49-407

(10)

Lethal Laura^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Given| OR: 45

16/1

Standout effort when third over 1m at Southwell last month, but she failed to confirm that improvement when mid-field at Chelmsford last time, and cheekpieces reached for now.

Form: 85-0036

(1)

Pinkie Pie²⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Crook| OR: 45

66/1

Showed virtually nothing in three runs for Paul Midgley, and while she now goes handicapping from a basement mark, there's not much comfort to take from digging deeper into her performances.

Form: 407-

Non-Runners

Louisiana Beat¹⁷⁹

Weight: 8-12| Age: 3

T: M Murphy J: Rossa Ryan

Forecasts

Mukha Magic (9/2), Tails I Win (5/1), Blue Beirut (5/1), Firewater (6/1), Legend Island (6/1), Chance Of Glory (8/1), George Formby (10/1), Holy Hymn (14/1), Louisiana Beat (14/1), Lethal Laura (16/1), Pinkie Pie (66/1)

TAILS I WIN took a big step up last time, and managed that without having much go his way at Carlisle, so looks a decent bet to pu the record straight in a race lacking depth. Gay Kelleway does well when reaching for headgear, so visored-first-time Mukha Magic must be considered, with Blue Beirut and George Formby capable of better now handicapping.
