Banana^p,t⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 54| D

7/4

Made it 2 wins this season when landing 5-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 9/2) a week ago, rallying to lead again close home. Major player as she drops back down in grade.

Form: 123551

Better^p³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 47| D

7/1

Modest gelding. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 30 days ago, never nearer having been very slowly away. Capable of getting involved but could do with brushing up his starts.

Brazen Belle²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Alex Jary⁽⁵⁾| T: C J Teague| OR: 41| D

150/1

Winner in 2022 but well beaten all 4 starts last season and again finished down the field when fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) 22 days ago. Has enough to prove at present.

Form: 0000-U5

Canaria Queen^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 50| D

9/4

Nineteen runs since last win in 2024. Run best excused when twelfth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 12/1) 16 days ago, racing on unfavoured far side. Interesting making first start at this level.

Form: 735440

(4)

Colorada Dancer^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: T E Whelan| T: K Jewell| OR: 49

17/2

Twelve runs since sole success in 2023. After 3 months off, raced freely in first-time visor when fourth of 6 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to firm, 9/2) 17 days ago. Merits consideration as he drops in grade/trip.

Form: 8-03074

(2)

Marcus^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 49

13/2

Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. However, in first-time visor he ran well when second of 9 in minor event (16/1) at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Form: 7-39362

(8)

Second Collection³⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 47| D

10/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2024 but has placed at this level on last 4 starts, third of 8 at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/2) 38 days ago. Can give another good account.

Form: 262333

(5)

She's A Dark Horse^p³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ben Sanderson| T: D K Ivory| OR: 43

40/1

Still looking for first victory and has fared little better in cheekpieces last 2 starts, last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 10/1) 30 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 55-4576

Forecasts

Banana (7/4), Canaria Queen (9/4), Marcus (13/2), Better (7/1), Colorada Dancer (17/2), Second Collection (10/1), She's A Dark Horse (40/1), Brazen Belle (150/1)

BANANA showed a good attitude when doubling her tally at Chepstow last week and she is taken to follow up as she returns to this lower level. A pair having their first try in this grade could be the main dangers, with Colorada Dancer feared most dropped in trip, ahead of Canaria Queen.
