First Response¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T Hamilton| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 74

10/1

Won Dundalk AW mile maiden for Ger Lyons last November prior to joining current yard. Ran two good seconds before struggling over this trip at Yarmouth. Down in class but needs to prove he stays.

Ideal Candy^h²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Gemma Tutty⁽³⁾| T: K Tutty| OR: 70| CD

5/1

C&D winner and front-runner who is 2lb higher than last win over this C&D. Good second here two starts back and unsuited by cut last time. Drying ground could see her go well.

9/4

Soft ground and a step up to 1m4f were probably against him in his hat-trick bid last time and this be much more suitable. Still ran with credit and at just 2lb higher than last win should go well.

Dutch Coed¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| CD

4/1

Enjoying a great run of form in winning four of his last five, with his defeat coming with a switch to front-running tactics. Up another 3lb following a second C&D win and highly likely to go close again.

Kwanza¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65| BF| D

5/1

Likes to front-run or on the pace and has raised her game the last twice when winning a maiden handicap and a third at this level last time. Could go well again but concern that the improvement has come with cut in the ground.

Form: 828613

Lady Scatterley¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 68

7/2

Remains an eight-race maiden but has raced to a consistent level in her last four starts for new yard. Weighted to reverse form with Kwanza from three starts back and likely to be competitive again.

Forecasts

Five Helmets (9/4), Lady Scatterley (7/2), Northern Lyte (7/2), Dutch Coed (4/1), Ideal Candy (5/1), Kwanza (5/1), First Response (10/1)

A very tight contest and despite the small field there's plenty of pace on offer to suggest this will be run at a true pace. That will suit the bang in-form DUTCH COED who has struck up an enviable run of wins in good times. Lady Scatterley deserves a win soon and is on an attractive mark while Five Helmets and Ideal Candy will be better suited by this drying ground.
