Mayflower Billy

9st 8lb

J: Sam James

T: Jessica Macey

Second on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in May and subsequent fifth at Newbury (1m, good to soft) came in a race that suited those ridden more patiently; has shown promise on good going; not ruled out.

Saucy Jane

9st 9lb

J: Sam James

T: Jack Morland

Won a Beverley maiden on her second start but 0-12 since; more realistically handicapped again now and she ran a sound race at Pontefract (6f, good; cheekpieces first time) last month; soft ground excuses latest lesser effort; not discounted down into a 0-70.

T: Katie Scott

Her first two runs (debut came when trained by Ed Walker) were respectable but she took a backwards step at Catterick (7f, good) in April; she has undergone wind surgery prior to this handicap debut; can do better.

T: K R Burke

Three wins at 7f and 1m (on this track; good to soft) but topped those efforts when a running-on close third, just behind Pandemonium over C&D (good; same terms) this month; should have more options now he's shown he stays this far; solid chance for last year's winning yard.
