Form: 3877-7 D
OR: 54
W: 9st 9lb
Age: 7 yo Mare
Below par on final two starts last year and same story on recent reappearance over 1m at Ayr; however, she's back up to a more suitable trip today and is 6lb below her last winning mark; not written off.
OUR TIP
Form: 77-352
OR: 53
W: 9st 8lb
Age: 5 yo Filly
Just one win from her 17 starts but she's run really well in defeat at Doncaster on both turf outings this season (1m2f/1m4f, good to soft/good) and there's every chance she'll be bang there once more.
Form: 2477-5
OR: 51
W: 9st 6lb
Age: 5 yo Gelding
He will have something to prove if slow ground prevails and he was tailed off on his recent reappearance over 2m at Musselburgh; however, that was his first run beyond 1m3f and he went close over that trip at Carlisle last August, when 2lb higher; might not be a forlorn hope back down in trip.
Form: 222-88
OR: 50
W: 9st 5lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
11-race maiden who arrives with plenty to prove regarding current form and stamina (untested at trip); however, his pedigree provides optimism regarding him staying and he could stage a revival when back on slow ground.
Form: -23818
OR: 50
W: 9st 5lb
Age: 6 yo Colt
Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; however, down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March and well beaten back over hurdles in April; needs to get back on track.
Form: 79P/5- D
OR: 50
W: 9st 5lb
Age: 8 yo Gelding
Runner-up over hurdles last May but this 8yo has struggled to get competitive on his four starts since, one of those being on the Flat; races for the first time since last September and others make greater appeal.
Form: 759-80 CD
OR: 49
W: 9st 4lb
Age: 9 yo Mare
Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.
Form: 4577-8 CD
OR: 48
W: 9st 3lb
Age: 8 yo Mare
Soundly beaten on final three starts last season and same story on reappearance in April; however, she might have needed that latest outing and she won this last year; shouldn't be discounted.
Form: 7-0068
OR: 45
W: 9st 0lb
Age: 4 yo Gelding
Won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last August and runner-up at Musselburgh (1m4f, good to soft) next time; however, he's been well below that level so far this season and a major turnaround is necessary.
Form: 0-9006
OR: 45
W: 9st 0lb
Age: 6 yo Gelding
Longstanding maiden who has been well beaten on all four starts this year and would be a surprise winner today.

Betting Forecast
12/1 Storm On Jura, 14/1 Sophiesticate, 6/4 Recobella, 10/1 Ravenswell, 4/1 Uncle Liam, 9/1 Hijo De La Luna, 40/1 Ivynator, 9/1 Dandys Angel, 8/1 Sugarpiehoneybunch, 16/1 Falaise Blanc, 50/1 Wath Court
Verdict
The mare RECOBELLA has been knocking on the door on turf this season and can gain a deserved win. Slow ground would be a positive for Uncle Liam and he might be the main danger ahead of last year’s winner Sugarpiehoneybunch.[Ben Hutton]
