33/1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 54

9/1

(12)

Lyrical Ballad²⁶

7/2

50/1, very good fourth of 11 in novice hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Modest maiden on the level, goes off a career-low mark here and looks worth chancing from high draw.

Form: 50-4765

Forecasts

Marie's Gem (3/1), Lyrical Ballad (7/2), Good Impression (11/2), Lady Morpheus (6/1), Al Jawhra (9/1), Bartimaeus (11/1), Aumerle (12/1), Ragtime Sally (20/1), Ardimento (20/1), Lady Sarah (20/1), Forked Lightning (22/1), Salsa Dip (33/1), Tally's Son (80/1)

LYRICAL BALLAD has run a couple of promising races over hurdles since the resumption and has a fair chance back on the level off her current mark on a few bits of form. She could be the way to go with a good-value claimer booked. Marie's Gem likely has a race in her, while Aumerle is another to consider.
