13:52 – Island Mahee

With plenty of experience on her side and some solid form to her name, ISLAND MAHEE gets the verdict, but there should be more to come from her stablemate Ailie Rose and the promising Cancan (second choice). Clearly Crazy and She Is A Contender are not without hope either in a tight novice hurdle.

NEW TO PADDY POWER?

14:25 – Not The Chablis

Lucinda Russell has won the last three renewals of this race and the 2019 scorer Katalystic is feared from a tumbling mark, but preference is for the topweight NOT THE CHABLIS who posted a personal best here last time and may have more to offer. Rebel Leader, More Buck’s and Fresh New Dawn complete the shortlist.

15:00 – Falak

Major respect is required for FALAK, who shaped well over 2m last time and may be suited by today’s extra yardage. Lacking a recent run but dangerous nonetheless is the topweight Clondaw Caitlin, while the front-running Drumlee Watar is another to consider.

15:35 – Go Another One

The obvious starting point is last year’s winner and course specialist Amalfi Doug, and Keith Dalgleish’s 11yo seems sure to go well again. But GO ANOTHER ONE is unbeaten here and looks interesting back over fences after shaping better than the result when sixth in the Kim Muir in March. The selection’s stablemate Roi De Dubai needs taking seriously too.

16:10 – Red Missile

The potential of recent Perth maiden winner RED MISSILE now that he moves up in trip earns him the vote. Reliable Calliope may give him most to think about, although Dalileo and Goa Lil are also in serious calculations.

16:45 – Fort De LOcean

With the Oliver Greenall stable continuing in fine form, FORT DE L’OCEAN (nap) looks the one to beat back over fences. He split two well-handicapped rivals when second at Market Rasen last month and is only 2lb higher today. Schmidt, having his first run for Donald McCain, is the main danger, ahead of Wolfcatcher and Ardera Cross.

17:20 – Flexi Furlough

In an open race, FLEXI FURLOUGH makes the most appeal following a good second on her most recent start and with her yard going well at present. The strong-travelling Jaunty Soria is also respected, while Zara’s Universe should be suited by the step back in trip, but the main threat may come from Centenier at the other end of the weights.

17:55 – The Electrician

This is a minefield for punting purposes, with race-fit and in-form contenders in the minority and a couple of unexposed sorts in the field who could take off after a break. The vote goes to the youngest runner THE ELECTRICIAN, but Celtic Tara, Silk Or Scarlet, Fernhill Lad and She’s A Rocca (second choice) are all of interest in a race in which the market will need monitoring closely.
