|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th | 1 | 2 |
Anificas Beauty (M)
Poor form continues with sixth of 10 at this course over 7f (14/1) 9 days ago when not looking straightforward under pressure. Would need significant improvement to figure.

Barney's Bay (G)
[V]
Seventh of 10 in conditions race at Newcastle (100/1) 12 days ago, never settling fully and failing to quicken when shaken up. Now without a win in 22 races.

| 3rd | 3 | 4 |
Captain Pickles (G)
Long-standing maiden (0-17) with inconsistent form but returned to form when third of 10 at this course and distance (14/1) 9 days ago. Consistency remains an issue.

S Donohoe | T Culhane & S Barclay | 4 | 61.2 kg |

Isla Bella (F)
Showed improved form when third of 8 at Wolverhampton (40/1) 31 days ago but couldn't repeat when fifth of 12 at Chelmsford City (15/2) 14 days ago. Back up in trip for this race, which might suit.

Laurens Dream (F)
[P]
Improved with back-to-back second-place finishes, including as 5/4 favourite in recent course-and-distance race 9 days ago. Finished strongly after being switched 2f out. Winless in 18 starts but current form suggests continued competitive…

Royal Jet (G)
FAV
[H]
Third of 11 in conditions race at Lingfield Park (9/4 favourite) 10 days ago, keeping on despite dwelling at start and encountering trouble. Should give another solid effort based on recent performances.

| 4th | 7 | 3 |
Tootsie (F)
[PT]
Modest recent form, including third of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (12/1) 7 days ago when going too freely early. Needs to settle better. Without a win in 19 races.
