13:00 Bright Eyed Eagle

The suggestion is BRIGHT EYED EAGLE, who often ran well on the Flat and was fourth in a decent maiden at Taunton. Boltissime has the ability to win one of these but his profile isn’t that convincing and second choice is Lock Down Luke, whose bumper efforts were encouraging.

13:30 City Derby

This is weaker than the opening division and CITY DERBY should take a bit of beating. Khanmurjan goes well fresh and can make a race of it. Bella Bluesky may also get involved.

14:00 Ask Dillon

Ballymoy faces no easy task conceding 12lb to ASK DILLON and Fitzroy. The selection, a winning pointer, suffered a heavy fall on his previous run over regulation fences but he’s done well over hurdles in the meantime. Fitzroy makes his chase debut after easily his most convincing performance.

14:30 Getaway Luv

A lot of these look handicapped about right but GETAWAY LUV could improve for this longer trip, provided he’s ridden with greater patience than last time. Flint Hill was a decisive course winner three weeks ago and he heads the dangers, ahead of Gortroe Joe.

15:00 Whoshotwho (NAP)

Richard Newland had an excellent strike-rate at Perth and WHOSHOTWHO (nap) is 5lb ahead of the handicapper having returned from a long layoff with a fine second at Warwick ten days ago. He’s taken to go one better with Roxboro Road feared most, despite having shot up the weights following his spring hat-trick. Niven needs to leave his latest run behind but is worth a crack at 3m.

15:30 Curramore

The 4yo Hooroo is an interesting handicap newcomer for Olly Murphy and could have a big say, but preference is for CURRAMORE who was a promising third at Newcastle in March on the back of a long absence. Lopito is a longstanding maiden but is no forlorn hope now dropped back in trip.

16:00 Methodtothemadness

This is very open with none of the runners that convincing. With chasers in her family, perhaps METHODTOTHEMADNESS can give a bold show on her chasing debut. Casimir Du Clos is next best, ahead of Istimraar.

16:30 Baby Jane

You wouldn’t put it past Green Zone going well after a break and he won one of the earlier races on this card two years ago. Cases can also be made for Rubytwo (second choice) and Camile. A more speculative option is BABY JANE, who ran her best race yet last time and she’s had wind surgery since.
