Myrmidons²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 70| C

13/2

Fair sixth on handicap debut over this trip at Ayr (soft) earlier this month. Returning from over 12 months off the track that day and is likely to have improved for the run.

Form: 1/45-6

(8)

Athmad²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 67

16/1

Beaten 6½L when finishing fourth in a 1m handicap at Pontefract (good) just under three weeks ago. More needed if he's to take this event stepping back up in trip.

Form: 40-0654

Railport Dolly^h¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: B A Curtis| T: T D Barron| OR: 65| CD

6/1

C&D winner ran well when 3L second in a 1m2f handicap at Doncaster (good-to-firm) just over a month ago. Disappointing next time however and is interesting if putting that latest effort behind her.

Form: 36-6720

(12)

Motahassen^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁷⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 63| D

15/2

Victorious by 2L at Leicester (1m2f, good) last month and has acquitted himself well in two subsequent starts including when fifth over the same trip at Beverley (good-to-firm) recently.

Form: 321135

(2)

Swooping Eagle^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 70

5/2

Improved on seasonal reappearance when finishing 2L second in first time cheekpieces (retained) over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-firm) recently. Strong claims of going one better despite a 2lb rise in the weights.

Form: 036-02

(10)

Genesius³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70

7/2

Four race maiden placed twice over 1m at Newcastle last year and finished a fair fifth on handicap debut over this C&D on good ground last month. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 733-5

(3)

Dutch Coed¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 60| D

33/1

Held in two starts this campaign most recently when 18L last of ten in a 1m3f handicap at Hamilton (good-to-soft) earlier this month. Others hold more obvious claims.

Form: 1470-40

(1)

Spantik^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66

18/1

Handicap mark is falling following some moderate efforts of late most recently when 19L 12th over an extended 1m2f at Haydock (good-to-soft) earlier this month.

Form: 7-87050

(7)

Rocket Dancer¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66

28/1

Promising fourth over an extended 7f at Beverley (good) on stable debut last month but disappointed when 15L ninth at Ripon (1m, good) subsequently. Others make more appeal.

Form: 2679-49

(4)

Ruby Shield¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

22/1

Finished fourth on both previous starts including when beaten 7L in a maiden over this trip at Chelmsford in March. One for the shortlist returning to turf for her handicap debut.

Form: 4-4

(9)

Top Flight Cool³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

50/1

Maiden after four starts and disappointed when 14L ninth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good) just over a month ago. Others make more appeal on first attempt at this distance.

Form: 689-9

(15)

Bollin Margaret^t1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60

22/1

Beaten 5L when fifth in a 1m handicap at Ayr (good) a fortnight ago. Previously struggled on soft going over this trip and wears a tongue tie for the first time in this contest.

Forecasts

Swooping Eagle (5/2), Genesius (7/2), Railport Dolly (6/1), Myrmidons (13/2), Motahassen (15/2), Billy Roberts (10/1), Athmad (16/1), Northern Hope (16/1), Spantik (18/1), Bollin Margaret (22/1), Ruby Shield (22/1), Rocket Dancer (28/1), Dutch Coed (33/1), Top Flight Cool (50/1), Phantom Bride (80/1)

RUBY SHIELD hails from a top yard and she is taken to make a winning handicap debut in the concluding race on the card. The selection should appreciate this step up in trip and she can get the better of her rivals with Swooping Eagle, runner-up on her most recent outing capable of claiming second spot ahead of Railport Dolly who can put a below par effort last time out behind her to finish third.
