33/1

Eight race maiden finished a well held seventh over an extended 2m in a jumpers' bumper at Newcastle in February. Others make more appeal on Flat return.

Form: 458-

Yasmin From York²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: J P Sullivan| T: B Rothwell| OR: 30

250/1

Failed to figure in five starts on the Flat and finished a well beaten eighth on hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m, good-to-soft) last October. Probably best watched on seasonal debut.

Ray's The One^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: M L W Bell| OR: 70

3/1

Shown decent form on both starts so far including when 3½L fourth in a six runner 1m4f maiden at Beverley (good) a fortnight ago. Of interest with cheekpieces applied for the first time.

Form: 34

(5)

Cheshire¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J D Bethell

2/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing 7½L thrid in a novice event over this trip at Doncaster (good) last month. Previously slowly away on sole start at two and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 8-3

(3)

Sly Minx¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: M R Channon| OR: 75

11/10

Placed three times from five starts including when ½L second in a 1m4f maiden at Beverley (good) last month. Had Ray's The One behind her that day and looks likely to play a leading role once more.

Form: 73-272

(4)

Sparrow Hawk²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: J S Moore

100/1

Well held in both starts so far including when 10L eighth over 1m3f at Kempton last month. Others hold more obvious claims on her first attempt at this distance.

Form: 0-8

Forecasts

Sly Minx (11/10), Cheshire (2/1), Ray's The One (3/1), Gabriel Oak (33/1), Sparrow Hawk (100/1), Current (100/1), Yasmin From York (250/1)

SLY MINX and Ray's The One faced off at Beverley last month and the pair can fill the first two places in this small field maiden event. Mick Channon's charge finished in front of her rival that day and she can confirm that running with the trip and forecast going both in her favour. Third place can go to Cheshire who ran well when placed in novice company over this distance last time.
