Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rowan Scott| T: N Tinkler| OR: 53

6/1

10/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) when last seen in February. 1 lb lower now and she's in with a shout.

(7)

Pastoral Way^p1¹¹

13/2

Respectable third of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and needs to raise his game.

Form: 56-4433

(2)

Barmyblade¹¹

11/4

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 5/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Possibilities if able to put that run behim him and belatedly build on his encouraging reappearance.

Form: 7750-16

(4)

I Got Know How²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 52

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fifth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 18/1) 25 days ago. If able to build on that here she will certainly have an each-way chance.

Form: 489-5

(8)

Kilo Sunshine⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: D Brooke| OR: 50

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 25/1) 84 days ago. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Barmyblade (11/4), Miakoda (4/1), I Got Know How (11/2), Lima Sierra (6/1), Pastoral Way (13/2), Novamay (12/1), Queen Dinah (14/1), Sun Keeper (16/1), Miss Cast (18/1), Kilo Sunshine (25/1)

Though BARMYBLADE failed to build on his Catterick reappearance success at Ayr recently but this relatively quick turnaround would suggest that all is well. He is taken to reume winning ways, perhaps at the chief expense of Lima Sierra and Miakoda.
