Ignition^b⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: E Smyth-Osbourne| OR: 55

11/10

Not long with this yard and he posted best effort to date sporting first-time blinkers when very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/4) 6 days ago, snatched up 2f out before finishing well and just failing. Unexposed at this trip and he's of interest at this level.

Form: 79738-3

Emily Rebecca⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 55

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fared no better than previously on qualifying run when last of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 49 days ago. However, she's certainly not without hope on pedigree and this switch to handicaps can see her in a better light. Up in trip.

Form: 787-

Backer Bilk⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J & S Best| OR: 51

5/4

Down the field in trio of maiden/novice events but well backed, showed improved form when second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago, staying on final 1f having been shuffled back early on. High on the shortlist here.

Form: 908-2

Bear Baby^p1³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 45

50/1

Muhaarar filly who has offered very little all 3 starts in novice/maiden company so application of cheekpieces/switch to handicaps needs to bring about a good deal of improvement if she's to feature over this longer trip.

Form: 00-0

Rue D'etoile⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: D Steele| OR: 45

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 7 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 48 days ago. Hard to fancy on what he's achieved to date.

Form: 0886-

Forecasts

Ignition (11/10), Backer Bilk (5/4), Emily Rebecca (11/2), Rue D'etoile (40/1), Bear Baby (50/1)

BACKER BILK showed much improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 6 days ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. Ignition never had the rub of the green when placed himself at Wolverhampton recently and he's a big threat. Emily Rebecca needs monitoring on handicap debut, too.
