Settings
Selected odds by:
Progressive at 4 but lightly raced and largely disappointing since, failing to beat a rival both starts for this yard. Hard to fancy.
|
Left previous form behind when second in a novice at Windsor 15 days ago and this shrewd stable should eke further improvement out of him now his attentions are turned to handicaps, so he's worth taking a chance on.
|
Hasn't had much racing and took a step forward when third at Haydock a couple of months ago. Could feature if the race is run to suit. Engaged 4.40 Ayr Monday.
|
Hasn't won for a while but he's fairly treated and arrives on the back of a creditable fourth at Doncaster, so no forlorn hope.
|
Returned with a successful start to the new campaign over C&D in April. Good second of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 11/1) 13 days ago, slowly away. Solid claims again back at Pontefract.
|
Built on good Hamilton reappearance run when resuming winning ways over C&D last month and far from discredited when runner-up at Bath subsequently. Boasts strong claims.
|
Has made an encouraging start to handicaps, fourth at Haydock on return and would have finished a bit closer had he not been hampered late at Doncaster last time, so not without hope.

Forecasts
Lerwick (7/4), Do I Dream (7/2), Hi Clare (9/2), Paternoster Square (6/1), Phoenix Fire (13/2), Cassy O (14/1), Mossbawn (80/1)
PATERNOSTER SQUARE took a step forward when runner-up at Windsor last time and he's open to further progress switched to handicaps, so he's preferred to the in-form Hi Clare, who scored here a couple of starts ago. Do I Dream is also well worthy of consideration.
- Hi Clare9/2
- Do I Dream7/2
