13/8

No better than mid-field in varied events for Anthony Mullins, including in Dundalk handicap last time, but has joined a shrewd yard. Betting useful.

(3)

Northern Chancer^h1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 45

25/1

Forecasts

Rossmore Nation (13/8), Urban Dandy (3/1), Goose Rock (8/1), Mintana (10/1), She's A Mirage (10/1), She's A Rocket (12/1), Made Of Lir (18/1), Byefornow (22/1), Thornaby Beauty (25/1), Northern Chancer (25/1), Mr Gloverman (28/1)

URBAN DANDY was much improved after a break when scoring over C&D earlier in the month and appeals as the type to run up a sequence such was his strength at the finish. Mintana and She's A Rocket head the opposition.
