Auntie June⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: R Brotherton| OR: 36

100/1

Has run five times, but yet to show she possesses any ability, and easy to leave out of calculations.

Form: 85600-

(3)

Mews House⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: D H Brown| OR: 64

11/8

Similar form when runner-up in a handicap (off 63) and a maiden over C&D on last two starts. Fair place claims again, but may need others to underperform if he's to win.

Form: 5745-22

(5)

Barbelo¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Spencer

5/2

Well beaten on Wolverhampton debut, but much improved when 1¾L third of 10 to Will To Win in a 6f novice there last time, clear of rest. Should improve further, and will go well if coping with Fibresand.

Form: 7-3

(4)

Flight Of Thunder^v1¹²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 62

16/1

Has bits of form for Kevin Ryan which would give her a chance in this, but inconsistent, and failed to fire at Redcar when last seen. Making debut for new yard with a visor fitted now.

Form: 792327-

(6)

Holy Eleanor^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 67

2/1

Had looked fully exposed, but seemed to find a little improvement in first-time blinkers when 1L third to Malmesbury Abbey in a 6f handicap at Kempton last time. Big chance if repeating that on Fibresand bow.

Form: 84225-3

Forecasts

Mews House (11/8), Holy Eleanor (2/1), Barbelo (5/2), Sweet Talked (12/1), Flight Of Thunder (16/1), Auntie June (100/1)

BARBELO and Holy Eleanor lack experience of this surface, which is always a minor concern around here, but the pair boast the best form, and the former in particular seems open to further progress. He shades the verdict, with Mews House the pick of those with Fibresand form.
