Leg 1 Selections: Pinpoint, Lady Showcasing

PINPOINT has elevated her form since going handicapping, winning at Bath before placing in both her next two starts and was only beaten a head here last time. A 2Ib rise is fair and she should again be in the firing line. LADY SHOWCASING has been running in better races than this on the all-weather and is down in grade from a basement mark. Archie Young also takes off an additional 7Ib, so she’s respected.

Leg 2 Selections: King Of Ithaca, Miss Gallagher 

KING OF ATHICA has made a positive start for this stable, posting back-to-back placed efforts here last month, and should appreciate the ease in grade. He should be competitive with more to come under Rossa Ryan, while MISS GALLAGHER has run well in both her previous starts at this course and was a good third back on the turf last time at Yarmouth. She is William Jarvis’s only runner on the card and should be thereabouts.

Leg 3 Selections: Alexi Boy, Electric Storm

ALEXI BOY looked in need of the experience when sixth on debut for Alice Haynes but stepped up from that effort on his stable debut for Michael Bell when scoring at Lingfield last month and should have plenty more to come. James Tate’s ELECTRIC STORM, an impressive winner on debut at this course when beating a subsequent winner, is sure to progress as well and can be considered as the main danger.

Leg 4 Selections: Atlantis Blue

The George Baker-trained ATLANTIS BLUE has already finished runner-up six times from just nine starts, including in her last four. She was comprehensively beaten 10 lengths by Naqeeb over track and trip last time but the winner is no doubt pattern-class bound after boosting the form since. From the inside berth under Neil Callan, surely she will be hard to beat. Even if she finds one too good, she should be in the frame once more.

Leg 5 Selections: Hedonista

Mountain Road has some solid all-weather form, particularly over staying trips, but conceding over a stone in weight to HEDONISTA might prove a tough task. Ed Walker’s three-year-old improved for the step up to this trip when a running-on fourth over course-and-distance and although this is a tougher race, she is open to improvement. She is Ed’s only runner on the card and should be competitive, so will be the only representative on today’s ticket in the hope we can get through to the last stage.

Leg 6 Selections: Kaaranah, Almarin, King Cabo 

KAARANAH has not been in good form this year but he is certainly well-handicapped on last year’s form, placing several times last year off higher marks, and should be involved. ALMARIN shaped well when midfield over track and trip last month and is down in grade from a career-low mark. He could be competitive, while KING CABO is another grade-dropper, who has winning form over course-and-distance and will be partnered by Oisin Murphy here. He should be in the mix after running well when second last time in a better race.
