Union Island¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: S D Bowen| T: C Johnston| OR: 69| CD

11/4

Thriving sort who wasn't hard pressed when completing a quick-fire hat-trick in 11-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago. 6 lb higher mark demands more now but hard to rule out in present groove.

Knights Gold^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Elizabeth Gale⁽⁷⁾| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 75| BF

3/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Leicester in April. 10/3, not seen to best effect when sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good) 25 days ago, not ideally placed. Better showing anticipated here.

Form: 4-51136

Love Is The Law²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott| OR: 74| D

15/8

Back-to-back winner last season and back to that sort of form when third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7.6f, good) 25 days ago, faring best of those held up. Fallen to a handy mark and she's one to be interested in on the back of that.

Form: 164-763

My Ambition⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Tyler Heard| T: D J Coakley| OR: 60| BF| CD

4/1

3-time C&D winner. 4/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (8f, firm) 40 days ago. Return to this venue can likely see him in a better light.

Form: 140-428

Gloryous⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: William Carson| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70

18/1

Too free on first run since leaving Rod Millman when seventh of 8 in novice (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 50 days ago. Return to handicaps rates a plus but she does need to pull out more if she's to open her account here.

Form: 0250-7

Forecasts

Love Is The Law (15/8), Union Island (11/4), Knights Gold (3/1), My Ambition (4/1), Thapa VC (9/2), Gloryous (18/1)

Having eased in the weights, LOVE IS THE LAW ran her most encouraging race of the present campaign when third at Lingfield 25 days ago, value for extra too in faring best of those held up. She can confirm the promise of that effort and come out on top. Union Island, who arrives in search of the 4-timer, and Knights Gold head up the dangers.
