Ruby Wonder¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66

9/1

Yet to win in five starts but only blotted her copybook once. Ran well enough from lengthy absence when third at Wolverhampton (5f) this month and entitled to come on for that. Leading claims.

Form: 2203-3

(3)

Bal Mal⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55| BF| D

4/9

Took time to come to hand but entering a rich vein of form with two wins from three starts, including impressive 3L victory at Beverley (5f) four days ago. Up 5lb but still progressing.

Form: 70-2121

(1)

Abbaleka¹⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 59

7/1

Nine-race maiden and yet to really trouble the judge. That applies to latest performance when 4L sixth at Newcastle (6f) in January. Returns with plenty to do.

Form: 6380-36

(6)

Ice Ice Lady¹²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| OR: 59| BF| D

6/1

Smart sort who made impressive debut at Lingfield and still ran okay when third of four - beaten 2L - at Chelmsford (5f) in February. Not seen since but will be shortlisted.

Form: 13

(4)

Bella Figlia^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 49

33/1

Thrice-raced filly who has shown some glimpses of promise before 22L defeat at Pontefract (6f, good) this month. Up against it with other rivals in this.

Form: 76-0

(2)

Tiltilys Rock¹⁵⁶

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

50/1

Most exposed in the field and kept busy last term and through the winter. Remains a maiden after 12 starts and latest last of seven at Newcastle in January (6f) means he has plenty on his plate in this.

Form: 802-547

Forecasts

Bal Mal (4/9), Ice Ice Lady (6/1), Abbaleka (7/1), Ruby Wonder (9/1), Bella Figlia (33/1), Tiltilys Rock (50/1)

Claims can be made for three of the runners in this sextet, and preference is for ICE ICE LADY to return to winning ways. The three-year-old probably wasn't suited by leading so early last time out and with some pace angles and a 2lb advantage in this contest, she may have the speed edge in this. Bal Mal is the next best and is in strong form this season but with a 5lb hike the handicapper is taking no chances, while Ruby Wonder took the eye with her seasonal return but boasts top weight in this and may be a part of the 'bounce back' factor in this.
